Area 51: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=37.800694,-...2&z=3&t=k&hl=en
Just north of the main airstrip. Something was intentionally blacked out here. Are they growing something? http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=37.899313,-...2&z=3&t=k&hl=en
Theres lots more. Just pan around. Turn off satellite to get the dimensions of the "gray" area (Nellis) and turn it back on, pan around and zoom in. Lots of interesting stuff

try out nasa world wind http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/ if you like this kind of stuff. it combines blue marble and landsat images along with usgs aerial photos and ortho maps. plus you can view simulations and the modis rapid fire sat stuff is wicked nardly. you can also tilt to show elevation that nasa collected in the mountains using sonar on one of their satelites. Find area 51 and go west just a little bit, on the ortho map it's called plutonium valley. There you can see all the craters from testing. One of them is so big, if you tilt the view to show elevation, you can see it dip! one of the best educational tools i've ever seen. I found out about it a couple weeks ago and it keeps me up all night. finally our tax dollars go to something good

that's not area 51, this is. it's built on groom lake. too bad we only get sat images. for some odd reason the usgs doesn't think we need aerial photos of that little block of the country

check out the pentagon, it has a crane over it from the construction work
the rumor is the top of the white house is shaded b/c there are anti aircraft missles on the roof, probably
but if i was president i'd want them up there. if all else fails you could kill the pigeon that keeps crappin on your S
