What do you think is in "Area 51"?

Answer 1

probably nothing. it is a decoy to hide the fact that there is an area 52. we are all looking in the wrong place

Answer 2

i dont think i know area 51 is a sercert location where old planes that dont work anymore. it is also a secert military base.
The Groom Lake Base is this top-secret military base located 90 miles north of Las Vegas (which is in Nevada). It's in grid number 51 of the Nevada Test Site, so it's called Area 51. The United States Air Force Flight Test Center controls the base. It's best known for testing exotic aircraft and weapons. The base was created in 1954 as a place to test the secret U-2 spyplane that was used to fly missions over the Soviet Union. Then it started to house the SR-71, A-12 and D-21 drone. The F-117A was tested there, also. In the 1980's the base increased in size, along with the runway (which increased to the present 6 miles). Then, mysterious lights began to appear, and armed guards known as the cammo dudes started patrolling the border. The government closed many viewpoints from which the Area 51 base could be seen. In 1989, a "physicist" named Bob Lazar claimed that he worked at a base south of Area 51 and also claimed that Area 51 was testing extremely advanced aircraft and UFO's they got by trading with the aliens. Since then, Area 51 has been thought to be the test center of captured UFOs because of the lights in the night sky.

what about this? i think this is wierd
AREA 19!!!!!!!
What is it? Some people think that it is just a peice of land owned by NTS, while some think that it is the "real" Area 51. These are just the two extremes; most people have their opinion somewhere between these two. The only thing that we know for a fact is that Area 19 is really just a peice of land in the middle of nowhere. What makes it noticable is that there's a 34.5 kilovolt power line which just stops in the middle of nowhere. I think that this is a little bit unusual, don't you? Area 19, along with Area 20 to its west, were added to the Nevada Test Site (NTS) because of the 1962 Test Ban Treaty, which ended atmospheric testing. Yucca Flat was a little too close to Las Vegas for the shockwaves created by the bombs. It was an ideal place to do underground testing. What made Area 19 partially famous in the first place is that here is a huge 34.5 kilovolt powerline, which terminates right in the middle of Area 19, in the middle of nowhere. There is nothing that is "supposed" to be there in any NTS documents. The location is farther from any curious people than anyplace in the whole complex, even farther than Area 51. However, there is an airspace, so planes can fly right over Area 19. Anyway, more suspiciously, Area 19 is for nuke testing, but there have been very few nuke blasts, but a whole lot of drilling. Also the NTS doesn't get any information about classified programs on their territory. This story was told by a commercial pilot, who flies in a nearby airline. Some of his friends, who fly from Las Vegas to the Groom Lake and the Tonopah Test Range facilities, sometimes fly to Area 19. When the pilot prepared to land, first he had to get clearance that there weren't any spy sattellites over Area 19. Then the runway, which was disguised to look like the ground, was watered by sprinklers. This made the runway stand out. The pilots got off and had to quickly get back on. The complex that the pilot entered was built to look like a series of hills. The problem with this story? Well, enemy satellites can see in multiple wavelenghts. This usually sees through most camoflauge. Maybe the government has some sort of high-tech camoflauge that makes the facility camoflauged in every single wavelength, but I doubt it. Plus, with the airspace right over it, the facility would have to be noticed by someone. The press wanted to get a tour of Area 19. They can parade around everywhere in the whole complex, with cameras, and they can do anything they want: as long as they have a guide. Well, they couldn't go to Area 19. The first time they were told that it was too far, and the second time they were told that the roads weren't maintained(even though one is a paved road).

Answer 3

Area 51 is officially a not-so-top-secret U.S. military base that researches new technologies in hopes of giving the U.S. an advantage in warfare. What people often see as UFO's in the Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah area are actually experimental new designs being tested by the U.S. military (have you ever wondered why the majority of UFO sightings are ALWAYS around a military base?) The U.S. military's B-2 Stealth Bombers are housed at Area 51 along with many other aircraft the public has yet to find out about.

Answer 4

Personally, I suspect that Area 51 is the location of the testing ground of America's military. In order to do Research and Development, you need somewhere out of the public eye to test your new toys - and I think Area 51 is that place. After all, who really needs a six mile runway for anything other than experimental or untried aircraft?

The irony is that with the advent of satelite technology, the inside of Area 51 is no longer a secret, so the reason for its existence is in many ways obsolete. However, it probably serves a purpose for the military to have somewhere of greater security than the rest of the homeland where it can carry out its test projects out of the public eye as it were. The development and testing of stealth technology had to take place somewhere for example. Area 51 would have been the perfect place for that to have happened.

I also suspect that the set for the lunar landings was constructed within the grounds of area 51 and that the original footage, so conveniently declared as 'lost' within Nasa's archives, was in fact an elaborate hoax, perpetuated for reasons of propoganda rather than an actual moon landing. (Does anyone recall the movie Capricorn One?)

But hey, I'm cynical and willing to be proven wrong on this. If there's anyone from the top brass of the US Military on here, feel free to extend me an invite and give me the guided tour as it were. I'm willing to be convinced otherwise. All you have to do is allow free access to the whole of Area 51, both above and below ground, for me to go looking for the lunar landing set and if, like Hans Blix, I cannot find what I'm looking for I'll happily admit it! I'm sure the Nevada desert's as good a place as any to get a suntan after all.

Answer 5

There are no alien in Area 51.
Area 51 is an air-force base where the very most advanced craft used too be tested... Now there is too much press coverage, so they've had to move elsewhere.
The reason people think that there are aliens there is that in the 50s, the USAF was working on balloons and spy planes and stuff there, which they wanted to use to spy on Russia (hence strange lights in the sky.) Roswell was when one of the balloons crashed. Naturally the USA couldn't deny aliens with the truth, because American/Russian diplomatic relations were extremely low, and to say that the USA had been trying to spy on Russia would have caused sparks which cold have created some nasty side-effects, e.g. nuclear war.

Answer 6

check

this video

for complete undersatading

of area 51

Answer 7

Area 51 is one of the facilities where NASA storehouses the plans for all the proposals it has ever generated for making "breakthroughs" in orbital transportation.

Laid one sheet on the next, this stack of paper was projected to have reached as high as the moon in 1997; but the introduction of PowerPoint has dramatically slowed this down and imperiled NASA's manned space program, thereby forcing it to warehouse its paper.

Answer 8

if youve got google earth, then look closely at area 51. You`ll notice there are alot of craters there strangely resembling the suface of the moon...so bares the question... did man goto the moon or was it area 51?!!!! I believe they went, but they forgot to take a video camera...

Answer 9

Given all the interest in Area 51, the US government would have to be daft to actually put anything secret there.

Unless that's what they want us to think... Excuse me, I'm off to get my tinfoil hat!

Answer 10

Area 51 is a Airforce base... so im pretty sure they are just hiding secret aircraft that is probably ahead of its time... i dont think there is aliens in there... maybe top secret weapons.... Area51 also hasthe biggest runway in the world according to arial photographs ive seen... but yea i just think they have aircraft that the military isnt ready for yet and they dont want u near it because they dont want the public blabbing about some new toy the military created. lol

Answer 11

Maybe not anymore, but once there was a test-flight facility. Maybe there still is. It's ultra-high security. So much attention has been on it for over 50 years now, they may have abandoned the serious work there and moved to the other secret bases. One will never know for sure, but it'd be nice to see under it and inside of it.
