Papoose Lake
Papoose Lake (also referred to as Papoose Dry Lake Bed) is a dry lake bed located south of Area 51 (Groom Lake) in the Nevada Test and Training Range. The area is alleged to house the Area 51 S4 facility, a covert installation built into a mountainside where advanced and reverse-engineered craft are stored and maintained.

Fouché Testimony
Edgar Fouché described Papoose as the location of the Defense Advanced Research Center (DARC), a 10-story underground laboratory nestled next to a mountain-side hangar that stored TR-3B reverse-engineered craft. The hangar featured a holographic generator that projected the appearance of the mountainside — when Russian satellites flew over to verify the SALT Treaty, their infrared and spectral scanners detected only stone. A friend of Fouché described never forgetting the sight of the "alien-looking TR-3B landing at Papoose south of Groom."
Bob Lazar separately claimed that the S4 facility near Papoose contained hangars disguised as terrain housing advanced craft.
