Area 69

Location | Bone County

Area 69 is a high-security military base operated and run by the United States Air Force. It is located out in the deserts of Bone County, and access is highly restricted by fences, blast doors, and SAM sites creating a no-fly zone.

Description

Area 69 is large military base, consisting of various hangars and structures. Four watchtowers and a fence surround the installation, protecting it was trespassers. At the rear of the installation is a large airstrip, capable of servicing several dozen aircraft. Whilst military operated, the installation maintains strong relations with Prospero. Objects of interest that are recovered by Prospero are sent to Area 69 for containment and study, and as a result, the facility holds more than a hundred anomalous objects in its catalogue.

Points of Interest

SAM Sites: Four Surface-to-Air missile launchers which are located in each corner of the facility.
Airstrip: A large airstrip at the rear of the facility, capable of serving and launching several dozen aeroplanes and helicopters.

Trivia

On a technical note, Area 69 remains closed off in X-Files IV as a result of it's interior being repurposed as the interior of Satellite Site Omega.
As Carl Johnson is a Prospero agent, the player will not incur a wanted level by approaching the facility, nor will the SAM batteries fire upon him if he approaches in an aircraft.
