Terrifying swarm of earthquakes rocks area near mysterious US military base known for nuclear testing
EARTHQUAKES have shaken the surrounding area of a mysterious military testing range known for storing nuclear weapons.
Nevada’s Tonopah Test Area, also known as Area 52, saw more than 100 seismic events in the last week alone.
The area, located about three hours northeast of Las Vegas and near Area 51, has seen a wide range of events from small tremors to small earthquakes.
The latest wave of earthquakes began Sunday afternoon and continued into the early hours of Monday morning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
One of the latest tremors was a 3.9 magnitude earthquake, which can be felt by an average person on the ground.
Although the range is shrouded in mystery, it is known for storing nuclear weapons and testing nuclear weapons delivery systems.

BOOTS ON THE GROUND
Trump does not rule out sending US troops to Iran, says blitz could last five weeks
The disturbing seismic events come as the United States is embroiled in a Middle East bombing blitz with Iran after helping Israel in a coordinated attack that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The initial attack, which claimed the lives of dozens of other senior Iranian officials, sparked a deadly exchange of fire, and at least four U.S. troops died.
On Tuesday, the third day of the conflict, President Donald Trump admitted that he had not ruled out sending American troops on the ground.
He warned that his powerful series of strikes could continue for weeks to ensure that the “colossal threat” from Iran’s nuclear capabilities is permanently eliminated.
The president made a solemn vow during a Medal of Honor ceremony that the deaths of the four American service members would not be in vain.
“In their memory, we continue this mission with fierce and unwavering determination to crush the threat this terrorist regime poses to the American people,” he said.
Tehran and its allies have struck Israel and neighboring Gulf states, threatening global oil and natural gas production.
The spiral of counterattacks and narrow responses from Trump and Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu have raised fears of far-reaching consequences that could turn the war into a world war.
