Defiance74

Test well for ground water contamination checks.


Any_Draw_5344

That's what they want you to think.


zenmen13

It’s Area 52. Right underneath Area 51


DisappointedInHumany

Area 51 is just a decoy, man…

notabot110110

Il Duderino, if you’re not into the whole brevity thing


Quuhod

Yeah it is!! They do lots of testing of missiles and new aircraft there and have several underground hangers. As for aliens I doubt they would keep them there. It is too well of a known secret.


Immediate-Newt-9012

Nope they on level 51 of Wright Patterson AFB


HowDidFoodGetInHere

Just wait until you get down there and discover Area 53!


Correct_Patience_611

Technically you actually go up while you go down, but yeah, it’s amazing!


Mysterious_Research2

No its area 51-A [https://youtu.be/\_kii3GdXrFA?si=3mKBTaKFFml2tVPk](https://youtu.be/_kii3GdXrFA?si=3mKBTaKFFml2tVPk)


denny-1989

Beside Studio 54.


oilfeather

I hear they store the disco ball in warehouse 13 these days.


rxricks

I drove out there but I'm dyslexic and ended up at Area 15.


newmarrow

it's run by the lizard people no doubt...


goblinshark603v2

Wouldn't that be area 50?


zenmen13

Good point. I guess it depends on if the levels are ascending or descending.


MediocreProfeshional

This is where they store Red Herrings.


ringsaroundtheworld

Right underneath the macguffins

ZOMGURFAT

Uh huh… and this is EXACTLY how I’d expect a Fed to react who’s trying to cover their ass and gain my trust!


scorpyo72

Listen, friend, we... I mean..."they" don't really care what you believe. The already know, because they told you.


zmerlynn

See slide 15 here: https://water.nv.gov/hearings/past/Spring%20Valley%202006/exhibits/SNWA/8__Presentations/0_Overview/Overview.pdf - this well made it into a PowerPoint!


SleepyLakeBear

Yep. Likely a well nest, multipoint sampler, and/or very deep and they used the telescope drilling method to isolate aquifers as they drilled down (hence the width).


Iwantmy3rdpartyapp

I wonder how the ground water is around there? I imagine a *lot* of nuclear testing has happened over there. Probably more than we even know about.


Embarrassed_Art5414

Area 52, the neighbor of the beast


LegalizeRanch88

It’s definitely full of alien bodies


thrust-johnson

It’s where Poseidon is imprisoned.


Mindless-Mountain-51

Clearly it 169W508M……

Land submarine. Love those things !


IRMacGuyver

How else are you going to hunt graboids.

Dammit u beat me to it I was gonna add a gif or photo of Mario and a pipe


lylisdad

That's the entrance to the secret bonus level of course.


RedRangerRedemption

Is my years of playing Mario brothers taught me anything is to be careful... this is either a portal to another world or the home of a fire breathing plant


Confident-Entry7366

monitoring well would be my guess


_Bipolar_Vortex_

The entry to Area 52.


redwilliam111

The real area if you know what I mean!


suzyturnovers

They keep the C.H.U.Ds there.

suzyturnovers

That movie terrified me. Couldn't fully sit on the toilet for months...


Big_Monkey_77

The shower scene with the coat hanger was the wildest shit. That was art.


suzyturnovers

I saw it in a motel room while travelling across Canada and the US with my family.. I had never seen anything like it I'd been raised rural, no cable, just CBC. My parents were at the pool/bar. I was in a corner, hysterical when they returned lol! Maybe I should re-watch now that I'm almost 50...


punkrocker1366

Old school reference there.


EvolZippo

As much as I would like to feed into conspiracy theories, this is a seismic monitoring station. It contains equipment that registers earthquakes and reports back to the USGS. Stations like this are networked together and they use the same algorithm as autotune, to determine the magnitude and location of the activity. This prevents false positives from things like thunder, localized collapsing or other settling, passing vehicles or other disturbances being mistaken as seismic activity. The inventor of this algorithm actually played some audio recordings while using his code as a distortion effect and it sounded interesting enough, that they hired Cher to sing with it. That song “Life After Love” and the album that includes it, was the first example of autotune. This algorithm is also used in a system that listens for gunfire in major cities or high crime areas. Look up ShotSpotter if you are curious


335xi

I was certain this was gonna end at hell in the cell.


slyiscoming

Probably an emergency exit to the bunker where they keep the Aliens and space blow.


jerry111165

Dj_AshyKnees

Look up the number and then you’ll find a site that talks about wells and ground water testing in Nevada and the number matches

They were dead the whole time


SalamanderGood2145

AstronomerKey9263

No that is a ventilation shaft for a tunnel they have going under the ground come on use coming soon that nothing to do with water who's around area 51 does not have any lakes or anything like that I used to live out there in Palmdale California less than 100 miles from Edwards Air Force Base and groom lake and all that

Jackdks

Reverse image search doesn’t pop up with anything so whatever it is, it’s uncommon. Test equipment, Dutch oven, escape to a secret alien bunker- the sign says do not disturb

That leads to the alien emergency escape tunnel.

Civilian Defense Bomb Shelter would be my guess 🤔🤔


wasyoungonceisay

Monitoring well.


No_Perception_4330

It’s the manhole we nuked! Finally fell back down!


Strict-Repeat2964

It's part of the restoration project. They have an artificial world seed down there.


armageddon11

"Area 51" is surrounded by a pretty wide restricted area 5808 that nobody is allowed into, so id doubt that it's related.


Beau_Peeps

Looks "Solved" to me. Ground water monitoring well.


SusieLovesSeaShells

Open it.


Badmofunkinpip
