Google Sightseeing takes you on tour of the world as seen from satellite, using the free Google Earth program, or Google Maps in your web browser. Each weekday your guides James and Alex present new weird and wonderful sights as suggested by readers.
Remember the super secret bunker they always use in Stargate, Deep Impact and various other films? Well, here it is. It’s official name is the Cheyenne Mountain Operations Center and is designed “to ensure 70 percent probability of continuing to function against a five megaton weapon with a three mile circular error probability”.

Did You see the size of the parking lot? Wow. It has to be at least twice the size of a Wal-Mart parking lot. And we’re talking Super Center, not one of the good ol’ fashioned Wal-Marts.
any pics of area 51
If you scroll down in that image, you can see the secondary opening. The design is intended to funnel blast forces through the outer tunnels, and away from the inner complex. It also serves as an emergency exit.
Notice the black hole to the southwest caused by experimenting with alien technology.
I brought that image into Photoshop and zoomed in a little more. I can’t be 100% certain, but I think I saw Jack O’Neal’s pickup truck in the parking lot. All the fishing gear in the back gave it away.
Placemark: Google Maps / Google Earth
The place where it gets all its information from: Buckley Airforce Base.
we call it NORAD here
The first movie I remember this complex from is Wargames. The movie that got me hooked to computers and modems.
alguien conoce las coordenatas?
the cordinates please?
lol, yes, cheyeenne mountain does indeed house norad
Anyone know where I could get the complex design from? I would like to develop a map for a game that will be the Cheyenne Mountain Complex.
Elite Tech: I found the floor plans you were looking for at (http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/facility/cmc.htm) this url. I was looking for the same information (creating an Undermountain type local for the Shadowrun RPG campaign I’m running). Hope it’s as much help to you as it was to me.
Too bad the complex has all but closed it’s doors. It was kind of cool to think that we had a military local built into a mountain.
Cheyenne Mountain or Norad arent in use anymore?…except for moveies and TV shows of course.
