Famous Places on Google MapsAug 10th, 2005 4:34:17 pm - SubscribeMood: good Music: Tsushima Masaki - Crystal Tokyo This is a sub-area of the Groom Lake facility in Nevada where UFOs are stored, built, and tested. Also called Dreamland. See Area 51 website. In 1994 the SS American Star was being towed to Thailand to become a floating hotel. Disaster struck while passing the Canary island of Fuerteventura and a strong storm beached the ship and broke her in two.
