If there are no top secret/black ops bases, then what are the bases in Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, and Colorado for? I have lived near several in Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana. These are not listed in any list of military bases, even the soldiers there will say "what military base" when asked what the name of it is; they just smile and tell you to move it and quit asking questions. No, I am not talking about Groom Lake/Area 51, there is not much of anything out there anymore. Too much publicity, so much of it got moved to Colorado and Utah supposedly.
The military has blocked off public lands; fenced, electronic monitoring, armed guards, but they put "U.S.Government Military Installation" signs on the fence. They think this is keeping things secret, label your "secret" base with a sign about every one hundred feet along the perimeter. Go spend some time at night at the north and northwest end of the Great Salt Lake in Utah. You will see some lights and other things that are not from aircraft of any known type. The area north of Green River Utah has the same things going on; there is an old missile base out there that was pretty much closed from the mid eighties up to the early 2000's, now it has been reactivated and is not even acknowledged as even being there.
There is a base in Montana that was slated to be closed about 2000, in 2008 there was an expansion of the base of over two hundred square miles. Why, tell me please, if the base is being closed, would they expand the size of the base. This supposedly was part of the nuclear missile complex, in Central Montana, that they are/were downsizing. There has always been reports of very mysterious lights and aircraft that have flown in/out of the base, there is supposedly no airbase there and aircraft do not use it or land there, yet you can see the runways in a satellite photos on Google Earth.
Mt. Home Air Force Base, Idaho was designated, in the early 2000's, as an alternative landing site for the space shuttle. They even expanded a runway and are planning a new runway almost twice as long, this is after they announced the termination of the shuttle project. The new runway is not supposed to be finished until almost two years after the last shuttle flight.
These are just a few things that are quite suspicious that the U.S. govt/military has done and is doing. A number of the members here are not from the Western U.S. and do not know about or see the things that those of us that live out here see. There are ranchers that are afraid to talk about things they have seen, they will tell you they have been visited by men who have threatened them and their families if they speak of anything they saw.
I night hunted predator control for several cattle and sheep ranchers in the Northern Box Elder, Utah area from 1990 until 1999. There were many nights I saw lights that were not commercial or private aircraft, there were vehicles (dozens of them, trucks and vans) that would travel in convoys down gravel roads to nowhere. When I looked at the vehicles through night vision equipment, I saw no visible markings on the vehicles and all were of a dark color, they would travel without any lights on except the first one. They would travel west out of the Promontory Point area and travel down the old railroad grade. The only thing out there is Kelton (old ghost town) and a few other old camp sites (from the 1800's) for the railroad construction crews, that is about it. There are no mines in the area, no businesses, nothing except range land and a few ranches; there isn't even any railroad tracks out there anymore.
Just some of the things I saw and cannot explain.
