The Case Of The Sheahan Family
In 1880, the Sheahan family invested in the mining rights for an unremarkable plot of some land in the New Mexican desert. A few years later, the US government opened up a base a mere 3 miles away.
Over the coming years, the family was first requested to move, then offered compensation for their land, before ultimately being rattled into leaving and, perhaps the most strangely, sued.
USAF planes would “accidentally” fire rounds toward their property, and they were even held at gunpoint once during a “miscommunication” with a training exercise.
To add the cherry on top, another minor misfortune led to their mill being firebombed without a single dollar offered to them in compensation.
And finally, back in 2015, the government seized their land and sued the family for resisting after they turned down an offer worth millions to pack up and leave the land they’d lived on for over 130 years.

Very interesting reading. Would really like to know more about this subject.
ALL THESE STORIES ARE OLD, NO NEW INFORMATION HAS BEEN REVEAL.
I am fascinated with Area 51
I grew in Boulder City, Nevada about 20 miles from Las Vegas and when I was in high school, an area North of Las Vegas was used as an Atom Bomb testing site – the are was known as the Nevada Test Site. There were times when our high school would gather in the high school football stadium to watch the mushroom clouds form from the testing. And today the Nevada Test Site which is the northern fringe of the Nellis Range, measuring 625 sq mi (1,620 km2. Tonopah Test Range is located about 70 miles (110 km) northwest of Groom Lake, the home of the Area 51 facility. And supposedly there is still areas that are affected by the nuclear tests conducted there.
I always believe this to be true.
I don’t quite understand this but I believe it to be true.
Good!
I believe that they have been affected by something. But working there must be a risk worth taking! If not they could quite?
I have always the government will get rid of you one way or the other? So ! Take the money and run. Forget everything.
That’s one I also believe. Maybe part of a bigger plan. Maybe they can stop nuclear war problem. I hope.
I have my doubts on this one.
Hmm, the government can warn you crossing into Area 51 is a restricted area, no trespassing, may be met with deadly force. Doesn’t that sign belong on our southern border? We know there is 5 million plus alien encounters in last 2 years and growing!! We know these alien encounters exploded under Obama and continue on steroids with Biden. What are they going to do if 500,000 CCP decide to enter across our southern border? Nothing, just ask Kamala (code for come all in). Over 100,00 dead from Fentanyl thanks to democrats and their drug cartel brethren, more deaths than 10 years in Vietnam. Where’s Hanoi Jane? Beam me up Scotty, no intelligent life here.
My mother, who is 89, swears that nobody went to the moon, they just went over behind a bunch of rocks and made a movie. women’s intuition or Facts. Why has it been so hard for them to duplicate this later?
I’d like to read about area 51, and not 100 different stupid apps and programs. I don’t think I’m going to go on.
I don’t believe the moon landing was staged in Nevada in 1969. But I do think Area 51 will always be a hot topic for discussion.
there is a lot going on government should be more open about too taxing people films are index to what the country really is thinking
biden must have escaped from his pen there
