Might depend what country you''re trying to view the imagery from. In most cases you should be able to see the installation better than as "Area 51" in Google Earth by jumping to its location. Wikipedia and other websites have the coordinates for this facility in the northeast of Nevada.

There are some restricted areas that are purposefully blurred out in satellite imagery or low-resolution imagery used including those seen in Google Earth and Google Maps.

How can read UTM coordinates for area from Google Earth Pro?

Is it possible to measure area using Google Earth?

Yes. Google Earth Professional also allows you measure area, but it is expensive. Alternatively you can use the free version of Google Earth, mark the area to be measured as a path. Then save it as a kml file. Programs like EasyAcreage can then read these kml files and calculate the acreage for you. This method is remarkably accurate. See a case study where the accuracy of this method was used to measure the size of a tennis court. The KML Tools Project and Zonums area tool (in links below) is an easy way to measure area online.


How do you find out which version of Google Earth you have?

Normally Google Earth Pro auto-updates to the new version when it is available but if that feature is disabled or not working you can manually install the latest version. Visit the Google Earth download page to download the latest version for Windows, Mac, or Linux desktop platforms. You can show the version of Google Earth in the Hep menu and selecting "About Google Earth". Note that Google Earth desktop has been replaced with Google Earth Pro so all updates will be with the latter.For the web version of Google Earth, your web browser always accesses the latest version and you never have to install or uninstall the application.Mobile platforms can update Google Earth using the Google Store, Apple store, or equivalent application management utlility on the particular platform.

Would it take one to three years for a new building to show in Google Earth?

Imagery in Google Earth gets updated world-wide every 2-3 weeks but the same area may not be updated for six months or 3 years. What gets updated depends on the demand for a given area. Everyone wants their area updated first and the world is a large place -- major cities naturally have high demand so they'll usually be updated more frequently than a rural area.
