#GTA SA BOXVILLE LOCATION SERIES#
The above-ground structures include a series of watch towers, a control tower, a small airstrip, and garages for military vehicles. Much of the base consists of underground research labs, although the player can only enter these labs during the course of a single mission (or by finding a way into San Andreas' "Blue Hell" - an area under the main terrain mesh - and finding the underground base there). Echoing the conspiracy theories surrounding Area 51, it is implied that the facility may be tied to local housing projects involving UFOs and extraterrestrial life, as suggested by the presence of the nearby Lil' Probe'Inn, the dialog on the base's PA system during the " Black Project" mission (Quotes: "Would the personnel working with the alien body, please put it away." and "Personnel found stealing alien technology will not be invited to the next employee outing."), and by dialog on Marvin Trill's in-game radio show Area 53. The base houses various clandestine government projects, including the Black Project Jetpack, a couple of weapon pickups and a couple of body armor and health icon spawn points. The SAM sites may even shoot down non-Hydra NPC airplanes and cause them to crash to the ground. Furthermore, their heat-seeking missiles may be avoided using countermeasures (flares), if using a Hydra. The base's four SAM sites may be destroyed using powerful weaponry such as missiles from a jet, a rocket launcher, or a minigun.

Flying too close to the edge of the base will also result in attack from the nearest SAM site, although a wanted level will not be obtained if close enough to the base's periphery. Flying over the base results not only in the wanted level, but also trackings and attacks from SAM sites and pursuing Hydras. Entering or flying over the base will result in a 5-star wanted level.

In the past, Area 69 was associated with the long-held rumor of aliens and UFO sightings in the game. The in-game base differs greatly from the real life Area 51, evidenced by the lack of a runway, smaller overall size, and different layout. The base is a spoof of the real-life Area 51 in southern Nevada, but named after the 69 sexual position.
