Well, obviously anyone who could really answer that question is barred by U.S. law from doing so -jeopardizing national security & all that.  Best guess: It's a research & development facility for new aircraft & technologies.  Not so much with actual designs -Boeing, Lockheed, et al take care of most of that.  But it's an ideal place to test new weapons & systems -Groom Lake, the area in Nevada where the site is located (or not, so to speak), is within or at least next to the Nellis AFB testing area (Red Flag, I think it's called).  It's also a good place to try out the prototypes of the new F-35 the Air Force & Navy are building -lots of space to do it, & no chance anyone who they don't want to show it to can see it.\n\n     As to the legality, Area 51's not the only place where they can shoot trespassers.  CIA Headquarters in Langley, VA is the same way, as are a number of other facilities both here in the U.S. & abroad -the guards are authorized to stop any potential threat to sites important to national security.  Though, usually, they try & give people warnings that they've entered an area they shouldn't be in.

"Is it legal if I shoot this person?"  Trespass.\n\nThe quick answer to your question is "No.  Not at all.  Probably not even if you live in Texas.  And that goes for the 'warning shot' too."\n\nGenerally, discharging a firearm is a potentially lethal action, so let's say you fire a warning shot near the truck-- the trespasser-now-turned-victim can claim you were trying to kill him.  And presto, you are now accused of committing a crime.  And the use of lethal force is generally only acceptable when it's necessary to prevent imminent serious harm or death-- and in some states certain property.  Someone driving through your empty land does not rise to that level unless he's about to run someone over.\n\nPut up a more sturdy gate/fence.  And clearly post "Private Property/No Trespassing" signs.  Then, as one Answer suggests, don't shoot him with a gun, shoot him with a video camera-- and make sure you get the license plate.  Take your video to local law enforcement and see if they will help.  If it really bothers you, you can take that person to court and seek an injunction and even a monetary award if his trespass results in damage.\n\nLastly, depending on where you live, you may be able to legally install tire puncture devices.  But I wouldn't suggest it unless it's your last resort since the owner of the truck could then take YOU to court to recover damages-- even if he didn't have a very good case it still might be more trouble than it's worth.\n\nAlso, I'm assuming from your fact pattern that he's not using an actual roadway.  Private roadways that are without a gate and that have not been posted as being private and that have existed for a lengthy period of time sometimes create an easement that allows the public to use the road-- even where it's on private land.      In cases like that, you can gate the road and post the signs, but members of the public can challenge you in court if there is a long-standing easement there.\n\nAs you can see from the bulk of this answer, shooting someone with a firearm for trespass isn't really a very good option....\n\n[This is not legal advice. You should consult a licensed attorney-at-law for legal advice or representation before making decisions that may affect your legal rights.]

ok, the FBI say that nothing happend, cause they dont want people to know about aliens.  second, my true belief, as many others, is that there was a ufo, it crashed in roswell, aliens were dead inside, and were taken to a place called area 51.  (alot of people think it's in nevada, and i have proof-though i might get arrested for saying this in public lol)  i also saw some ufo sightings on tv once...

Not over the entire Area 51.   Unlike much of the Nellis range, the area surrounding the Groom Lake is permanently off-limits both to civilian and normal military air traffic. The area is protected by radar stations, and uninvited guests are met by helicopters and armed guards. Should they accidentally stray into the exclusionary "box" surrounding Groom's airspace, even military pilots training in the NAFR are reportedly grilled extensively by military intelligence agents.\n\nPerimeter security is provided by uniformed private security guards working for EG&G, who patrol in desert camouflage Jeep Cherokee and Hum-Vee vehicles, and more recently champagne coloured Ford F-150 pickups and gray Chevy 2500 4X4 pickups. Although the guards are armed with M16s, no violent encounters with Area 51 observers have been reported; instead the "camo dudes" generally follow visitors near the perimeter and radio for the Lincoln County sheriff. Modest fines (of around $600) seem to be the norm, although some visitors and journalists report receiving follow-up visits from FBI agents. Some observers have been detained on public land for pointing camera equipment at the base. Surveillance is also conducted using buried motion sensors and by HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopters.

The area is Nellis Air Force Range and nuclear test site, more commonly known as Area 51, (the name is derived from the way the country was divided according to old maps). It was founded in 1954 and its exact location is at the heart of area 51, Groom Lake. But you can't go there, you can't even take a photograph without the risk of being fined, sent to jail or even killed. \nIn fact, the military denied its very existence until they were forced to admit it in 1994.

There are so many inexplicable details I have read regarding the an alien spaceship crashing in Roswell NM, which supposedly resulted in alien bodies being stored in AREA 51.\n\nIf there was really no crash, why did the military and the government threaten so many people to keep silent about what they saw?  Why was the area sealed off and every inch combed by hundreds of military personnel?

A three times as high fence could be circumvented by just one hole at ground level.  A triple fence with sensors and increased border patrols and unmanned drone aircraft means someone has to slow down that long three times and is much more likely to be caught.\n\nThe sensors I heard of would trigger cameras and alert border patrol rather than trigger swatting fences, however.

if they are doing somehting against the law report them to the FBI.  That's what they are there for.  Send them all the info and they will investigate.

Simple question, Tracy, but it has no simple answer.\n\nFor starters, most states laws reagrd the use of deadly force as an alternative ONLY when they are inside your home & are threatening the lives of you or yours & even That is difficult to prove/justify. Furthermore, when you confront someone, even an animal in the wild, if you Do Not offer it a simple means of escape, it Will attack!\nAutomobiles are movable property & as such, the law states that you must protect yourself By Backing off & summoning help, Period! So, all those Rambo-types out there are clearly misguided souls who apparently are legends in their own minds!\n Sure, it's Your personal property but if we all started firing at every individual we claimed was stealing from us, we would eventually have anarchy cuz there are alotta variables that can come into play. Fer instance, I come home from work to discover a guy taking the stereo outta my car, do I shoot him or do I let him explain that my girl hired him to put in an even nicer one for me as a surprise b-day present! I'm a convicted felon cuz I shot a guy who was doing exactly that! I know it's a one in a million but still, the law really does serve a purpose & if we were to attempt to shoot someone who's unarmed, we become the criminal & the flip-side of that is if we attempt to stop such a person some other , non-lethal way & they are armed, we become another dead statistic...see what I mean? No simple answer but I hope I illuminated some of the uglier possibilities for ya cuz anything you can replace with a little cashflow is worth far less than you life or your own freedom....get my drift?

WTF?\n\nWhatever dude.  This does not even deserve a reasonable response.  Everyone knows that aliens did it as revenge for the UFO we shot down at Roswell.

I would think that a conspiracy theory that is more fact than theory would be the most believable one. For example; Area 51... Area 51, also called Groom Lake, is a fact, not a mere theory. Area 51 is not on any map, but Groom Lake is. You can also see it in satellite images that are commonly available in the internet. Many people theorize on what goes on at Area 51 however. I, however, have been there myself and can personally account for what goes on there. There is at least one tour company that offers tours to Area 51 where the average citizen can see the wonders that abound there and participate in many of the bases "secret" activities. See, what you do is sign up for the tour. The tour will take you to the edge of Groom Lake where you will see signs that say that deadly force is authorized if you proceed past that point. Now you have to be part of the tour to gain access beyond that point, otherwise, you will be shot.  Seriously, the guys in the black pickups don’t joke around.\n\nNow the tour takes you up the road and over the ridge into the dry lake bed. It gets a little fun because as you cross the dry lake bed, speeds can reach 120 mph or so. The lake bed itself is huge. Then you come up on some huge buildings. Inside the buildings are the alien spacecraft that they have captured over the years. There are quite a few of them. This is where the substance of the tour takes place. Now they also carry out secret military operations at the base, which nobody gets to see, they mainly happen at night and all of the tours are during the day.\n\nWhile you are in the alien spacecraft hanger you get to climb on some of the smaller craft, and they even have an alien spaceship flight simulator for those that are adventurous enough to try it. The whole tour is really cool. While I was there I actually got to meet one of the captured aliens. He or she, nobody knows for sure, is not really a prisoner, but its spacecraft crashed after skimming our atmosphere over the south pole so it has no way to get home. But they also won’t let it leave the base without a heavy escort.\n\nToward the end of the tour, before driving back across the dry lake, they take everyone into a small room, with pale green walls. On one of the walls is a large television looking screen. Once the door closes, the screen starts flashing weird colors and bright lights. Most people pass out and have to be carried back to the tour vehicle, but some are able to walk. Usually most people sort of wake up outside of the gate and they don’t remember anything after approaching the gate in the first place. It is weird, kinda like the blinky thing in MIB. I have only been there once and I don’t really remember any of the cool stuff, but that’s what they tell me happened. I was there and I can tell you - that’s the truth. If you have the opportunity to visit the Little A'Le'Inn Restaurant and Bar on the Extraterrestrial Highway in Rachel, ask them about the tours, they will tell you.\n\nI also visited the sight where JFK was shot - I am telling you, there is no way it makes sense that he was shot from the Book Depository.

any sites that are violating the law do get shut down if they are in the US, if they are outside of the country then they work with interpol and other organizations to shut them down and arrest any people involve in such sites. as long as the sites that are running are abiding by the laws then they will probably remain up.
