Chinese Area 51

Post by Ghost from above » Sun Jul 18, 2021 10:02 am

China is developing its own Area-51.

Interesting article around the development of a number of sites in China for drone, stealth and 6th Generation aircraft development.

Significant works have been noted at Malan Air Base and Lop Nur Air base in Xinjiang.These like Area 51 are in former nuclear test areas and remote to keep prying eyes away. Great to see that despite the sensitivity of these sites, commercial imagery is available to lift the lid.

I think a trip there will get you glowing as I can't believe they have a regulatory scheme to protect you from radiation. #glowstick

Don’t try cutting a hole in the fence like someone did at Coningsby, they’ll frown on it even more!

Come on, admit it, who came here thinking this was about where the Chinese keep the alien spacecraft that have landed in their country?!
