S4 Details and Location

Papoose is approximately 12 miles southwest of Area 51. This shows the relative location that Papoose has to Groom Lake/Area 51, now renamed to “Air Force Test Center (Detachment 3)”

Various research by others indicates the facility is sometimes referenced as a SITE 4, S4, S2 Alpha, and from the Tom Mack letter PS2 complex.

Possible video taken inside of S4?

I wish to proffer this for your consideration, though I make no claims about its authenticity. 

A video seemingly taken by Macia or Dan entitled "Dr. Marci and Dr. Dan filming on a walkabout where video is never allowed." The reference to "J" is likely former vice admiral, John“Mike” McConnell who visited the S4 facility many times. In the video, there is an air of condescension towards the authorities, likely those that manage security protocols at the facility (presuming it truly is S4).

AI Simulations of S4 Protocols

Upon entering the facility Dan was to slip-down and be weighed.

Dan indicated that there were no weighing feedback screens, and nothing that the gentleman at the desk apparently saw that read back Dan's weight. He was certain that it was being screened in another room.

Lab facilities

Dan described the S4 complex facilities in significant detail, often highlighting their advanced nature and unique security features. Access was tightly controlled with armed guards, optical scans, voice print identification, showering, weighing, shaving, and decontamination procedures. Personnel wore jumpsuits without underwear. Blue and red lines on the floor dictated movement, with shoot-to-kill orders for crossing red lines

Elevator systems

The S4 complex at Papoose Lake had a distinctive and highly secure elevator system, reflecting the overall oppressive security environment of the facility. Elevator buttons were concealed, operated by guards with their backs turned against them. Dan indicated that each security detail was already aware of his scheduled in advance. He would enter the elevator and security would count down the buttons and pop whichever one Dan was supposed to go to next never allowing him to see the floor number.


The Clean Sphere

Clean sphere details

The clean sphere was the specialized chamber designed to house the J-Rod and maintain an environment unique to its physiology. Dan described it as roughly 52 feet wide and 26 feet tall. The environment maintained a hyperbaric mix of 4–5% nitrogen and oxygen, high pressure, and temperatures between 20°–30°F. Humans couldn’t survive inside without a TES (Total Encapsulating Suit). These conditions were designed to slow the J-Rod’s disease. The Clean Sphere was located on Level 4-5 of the S4 facility, which was the bottom-most working level. The sphere itself was typically held below the Level 4-5 floor in an area called the Ambassadorial Suite Level (ASL) and was raised up using an advanced scissor lift system for interactions.


The Looking Glass Device

Looking Glass description

The Looking Glass device was reverse-engineered from a transport system of ancient Sumerian origin, combined with shared extraterrestrial technology. Operated in pairs—one of which was located elsewhere on the Nevada Test Site—it consisted of a large toroidal chamber generating an electromagnetic field, a barrel filled with liquid argon gas, focusing rings, and an energy projection unit.

When activated, the device opened a window into quantum probabilities, allowing users to see and hear into alternate timelines. However, because these timelines often converged, a computer system was required to de-phase the signals for viewing specific moments.

The Looking Glass was designed to show possible future scenarios or probabilities to viewers. It can also see somewhat into the past. It specifically deals with the physics of seeing the effects of an artificially produced gravity wave on time and can warp the local fabric of space-time. It's related to Einstein-Rosen bridges (ERBs)

The Looking Glass was used by international leadership to follow or nudge alternative future events. It was used to analyze probable outcomes like the 9/11 attacks. Some sources describe it as a "$4 billion smoke n' mirrors device". There is a strong opinion that it should never have been built, representing the misuse of power.
