DOE LLNL Site 300 [not a51, but interesting nevertheless]

The DOE (department of energy) runs LLNL (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory]. The lab is pretty well known, but they have a test site about 15 miles east of the lab that isn't quite as well known. At "site 300" they blow stuff up, crash things, and shoot guns. Site 300 isn't secret at all, and in fact they have a web site:

http://www.llnl.gov/remoteTEST/

Poke around the site and you can find quicktime movies of well, explosions, shooting guns, and crashing cars.

The location of the site isn't on the net, but there are not that many roads in the area. I had some time between appointments today so I simply drove to the main LLNL, then headed east until I exceeded 15 miles, then headed south a bit, and headed west again. The second road I took lead right to the site. [Coral Hollow Road, an exit off of I580] The front gate of the site is located at N37 37.983 W121 30.196 There is an official sign. [Photo to appear on the LazyG some day.]

You can view the site from the terraserver at:

For some reason, the whole area looks burnt.

I found a few other references to this site on the web:

http://www.igc.org/tvc/site300.htm
http://www.clydelewis.com/dis/tracy/tracy.html

If you look at the quicktime video on the main site, it is pretty obvious that the activities that take place here could lead to a UFO siting.

They have a federal bank trunk ratio system at the site that is unfortunately digital.
