Cammo Dudes
These are the strange and anonymous security guards at Area 51. They are called cammo dudes, because of the camouflage that they wear. Anyway, the dudes patrol the border with their Jeep Cherokees in two teams. Wherever you go, you will see a Cherokee, although you can rarely come this close. The cammo dudes are probably not military guys, and no one knows who hired them. Perhaps they enjoy doing this. The rumors are as follows:
The Cammo Dudes are employed by:
- Wackenhut Security Incorporated, the contractor that provides the security for the Nevada Test Site
- EG&G Corporation under military contract
- A company called Sandia.
The cammo dudes also seem to have an affiliation with the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department. The cammo dudes call the sheriff, and the sheriff will take care of you. The cammo dudes themselves are very shy, maybe (but probably not) because they are the people that came out of one of Area 51's failed experiments, and they don't want anyone to see their face. It's probably because they don't want anyone to try to assassinate them, or hurt them while they are in their home.
The cammo dudes have helicopters. You can see one of them on the left. They use the helicopters mainly for security purposes, but there have been a number of occasions when the helicopter would harass viewers at the border. It would fly a few feet above the viewers throwing up dust and other debris. This, of course, is not legal, even for a bunch of weird, anonymous, social outcasts that guard government military bases.
This is a magnetic sensor. It's in a plastic capsule about six inches long and are buried beside the road. This capsule contains the batteries. A bucket-shaped container contains the transmitter. The wires running off to either side lead to sensors that are buried a few feet apart on the roadside. These sensors transmit signals as someone passes.
This makes it impossible to break into Area 51. It could lead to immediate arrest, immediate death, and/or an immediate fine of $600 or more. (If they kill you, they take your wallet).
