Project Aquarius - Softcover

During the short Janet flight to Area 51, no talking was allowed between personnel that Dan was allied with. Dan described most of the interior cabins as being “slate grey” in color. When entering the aircraft, Dan was instructed to sit near the aft end of the cabin, and then a drape was pulled, thereby separating his section with that of the rest of the cabin. Seating arrangements are carefully chosen so that passengers are “quarantined” from various personnel who may be working on various different programs on the base. On approach to landing, Dan remembered hearing the call-sign “Pyramid Pyramid Pyramid”. This may have been the authorization clearance from Groom Lake air traffic control, allowing jets to prepare for final approach to Area 51.
