Area 51 still classifiable

[bogeyman]

I have received a response form the Executive Office of the President, concerning protocols in use concerning Area 51, and a "confirmed installation commonly known as Area 51". They stated the following:

"I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of any such records. The existence of non-existence of such records would be protected pursuant to FOIA exemption 1, 5 USC 552 (b)(1). Exemption 1 protects from disclosure information that has been deemed properly classified information in the interests of national defense or in matters of national security."

So regardless of a conformation of this installation by President Obama over a year ago, and a map showing the installation in a document entitled The CIA and Overhead Reconnaissance, The US and Oxcart Programs 1954 - 1974, they still refuse to confirm the existence of documents pertaining to Area 51, because there existence is classifiable in itself, AREA 51 has a SECRET stamp next to it.

No further can we go unless the appeal is granted which I doubt, it was like the National Reconnaissance Office who's existence was at one time Top Secret.

I remember being in Vegas and going up in a hot air balloon at night. After looking at the great view of the strip I turned around and looked off in the distance opposite the lights and what do I see? Two lights off in the distance, one getting brighter then dimmer. I took a few quick pictures with my little canon digital then the lights disappeared, leaving me wondering if "they" somehow knew what I was doing. I asked the operator of the balloon what was over there and he casually said "oh that's area 51. Yeah not sure why they're so hush hush about it everybody knows it's there." This happened about 4 years ago.

The gigs over! Times are changing people are quantum leaping in knowledge and evolution. The national security blanket is tattered and old. NOBODY'S BUYING IT ANYMORE! I know they read these forums. For "national security" sake they do. Heck I call it old paradigm security.

The people have grown up. Are you guys going to?
