I’ve been searching for Area 51 for years, not for a special reason, only because I’m interested in this subject and in the mystery that involves it.
Despite many theories involving Area 51, hardly nothing was proved.
People talk mainly about the aliens stories, but how and why this stories appeared?
Furthermore, there are many histories about it, and we know that not everything in the Internet is right. So, what is right and wrong behind the hidden mysteries of Area 51?
To discover that, lets go back in history…
Intro
The old maps of Atomic Energy Commission were divided in areas. Area 51 was the area where they decided build it, near the Groom Lake (another designation for Area 51, as well as Dreamland), in the Nevada desert, and it has nearly 1550km². There’s a airstrip since 1990, measuring 3651 x 61m.
Area 51 makes division with the Nevada Test Site (NTS)
In 1994, Area 51 was declared as official. Until then, it didn’t exist, despite we know that Area 51 was starting to be constructed in the 50’s.
Infrastructure
Area 51 is one of the most advanced military bases in the world, with a giant subterranean complex and many research labs. One of the main entries is in an hangar, where they lay in helicopters and jeeps. There’s a door with a panel to digit a password, a normal thing in Area 51. There is a nuclear gate, also with a big panel, with 41 keys in a keyboard form, 5 colors (blue, yellow, green, red and white) and 10 numbers. After going through that door, there’s a hall with 18,30m² and an elevator that ends in a big room that gives access to practically all parts of the complex.
The Complex has 6 subterranean floors, with 64m of depth. This subterranean complex is constructed with super resistant material. There are many labs, virtual reality rooms, advanced training centers, weapon creation center, and its own manufacture.
The beginnings
It was one of the several areas of atomic tests in United States. In that time, belonged to the Atomic Energy Commission, today called Energy Department, for the need to testing it.
In 1955, there was negotiations of US government with the Soviet Empire. By that time, at the request of the Central Intelligence Agency, the engineer Clarence Kelly Johnson, created the first super-secret american spy airplane, called U-2. With the need of testing the airplane, Kelly Johnson found Tony LeVier, an air racer and test pilot for the Lockheed Corporation, the man that they said to be the father of Area 51. Both together, they searched for a week a place to test it. With the great conditions of Groom Lake, being a dry lake (a perfect condition to experimental flights), as well as a little movement place, they choose Area 51 to do it. Furthermore, they had CIA in a distance of 60 Km. Therefor, Area 51 became the most confidential military installation of the government.
U-2 was the american military weapon in the Cold War against the Soviet Union. It made many secret operations in the Russian territory. But in 1960, the operations went downhill due to an airplane that ended in a remote territory, and the pilot Francis Powers was captured by the Russian forces. He was sentenced by the Soviet court to 10 years in prison, but soon was liberated in return of a Soviet agent captured by the Americans.
They say that the obtained information has avoided a World War III.
After that, there was many airplanes tested in Area 51, like A-12 or SR-71 Blackbird.
A new course
According to some experts, a different kind of airplanes was being tested in Area 51, as they got some military Russian equipment, like radar defense systems, fighters, and much more.
The destruction and the serviceability of Russian equipment was an important thing in Area 51.
The 70’s were the Stealth project age, where Have Blue airplane was developed and tested. This project allowed discover that is possible handle radars. It was the first dynamic aircraft in a diamond form.
At the same time, surged a new airplane project called Tacit Blue, an horrible aircraft that has been made public. The target was understand how was the function of different formats on airplanes.
With this two projects, surged the most confidential technology for aircraft of all time.
After that, occurred the first rumors about spacecraft, that in reality, were a shell-work of Stealth Project, when in 1988 were constructed the B-2 Spirit Bomber and the F-117 fighter.
In 1991, the years of flights in the Nevada desert were put to test under the Persian gulf desert. The stealth project functioned in the Persian gulf war. The Iranian army was completely devastated by the B-2 and F-117, for they didn’t know that this weapons existed.
There are rumors about a supersonic airplane known as Aurora (the name given to the high speed airplanes, developed and tested in project programs). Although there’s no public photos of Aurora, there are many visual interpretations of it. Experts say that this airplane can fly 6 times the sound speed and attack with precision. Despite that, the government denies the existence of Aurora.
Conspiracy theories
The culture of mystery around Area 51, took in a climate that nothing is too much stranger to believe. All the area around Area 51 is involved in conspiracy, with many references to aliens and UFO’s.
Extraterrestrial Highway, is the name of the Nevada State Route 375 and stretches 98 miles (158 Km), from the ghost town of Crystal Spring to the community of Warm Spring. Was claimed official by the Nevada State in 1996, due to many reports about UFO’s in the area.
The history of Area 51 became known in 1988, when surged a man called Bob Lazar. He was an american physicist, and he claimed that worked in an alien ship, in a subterranean area called S-4, that according to him, served as a military hideout to studying the alien ships, a ship in each one of the nine hangars. He said that there was various documents proving the existence of aliens, and said he saw a flight of an alien ship. A fantastic and a bombastic story for the media.
But not everyone believed in Bob Lazar’s story. There are many right evidences of what Bob Lazar said, but not how he said. After that, many people of all world went to the Nevada desert to see UFO’s.
This story made the village of Rachel a touristic point of the aliens creeds, and some non creeds. There’s a restaurant where people can talk openly about aliens and UFO’s, and buy books and merchandising about it. The owners said that Bob Lazar is not the only worker of Area 51 talking about aliens stories.
Despite being denied the existence of many airplanes, included Aurora, the CIA made, in 1997, a chocking declaration admitting that Air Force used the alien stories as a camouflage for its activities. According to the report, the UFO’s sightings were reconnaissance flights of airplanes. But there is people saying that this declaration was a disinformation, to cover the truth about aliens and UFO’s.
Get into Area 51
With all this stories, Area 51 is today a known place in all the world. But get into it is more difficult.
Incredibly Area 51 doesn’t have a fence, instead there are stacks, it’s surrounded by mountains and it’s very hostile.
There are many guards around Area 51 to control the place, and many cameras by remote control, as well as magnetic sensors. Furthermore, they can hear you. Even out of the area, in public territory, they had sensors to detect the vehicles. They are able to distinguish, through the sensors, the smell of a human from an animal. They always know if somebody approaches.
They also had many warnings around the perimeter saying – “No trespassing beyond this point”, “Restricted area”, “military installation”, “Use of deadly force authorized”, and many others. The ones who try to pass this warnings are taken to an interrogatory, pay fines, could go to prison, and if resist, could die. Furthermore, you lose the rights of talking about what you saw. Even if you saw nothing.
Area 51 superstar
Area 51 appeared in many TV series like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, X-Men Evolution, Transformers, and many others.
Also in films like Groom Lake, Monsters vs Aliens, Planet 51, Transformers, Independence Day and others.
GTA: San Andreas and Area 51 are the most known video games where Area 51 appears.
We can say that Area 51 is a superstar.
Location
So, could we conclude that aliens exist?
