Nope, sorry, never seen a flying saucer around Area 51 in 12+ years in the area. As for seeing black projects fly around Area 51, one has to understand how remote the area is, and how ideal the terrain is for concealing test flights. They could be flying the Aurora (if it existed!) over the next hill from you, and no one would ever know. Almost all black projects test flights happen at night. From Tikaboo you see a light take off in 26 miles distance, go dark as soon as the test article is airborne, and that is it. The best indication for a test being conducted are the red and blue radiation warning lights on the radar sites near the Back Gate. For instance, this past Monday night, after participants in the Red Flag night exercise left the area, the radar sites came online and a test aircraft, callsign "Greyhound 4" flew over two dozen passes over the radar sites ("Corvette") for two hours without ever being seen. It came out of TTR, not Groom. Test flights out of Groom rarely use clear frequencies.
