Area 51 is a military base thing that is thought by some to be non existant. supposedly its where they keep the aliens and UFOs and test super top secret military airships. theres pictures and stuff about it all over the web. if you google it tho, you might get something called area 51 humor which is just a funny little site that has really nothing to do with the actual area 51.

hmm, people will prolly have a more detailed answer than this and different theories about this than mine but heres what it is:
Sometime back in the 1970's the U.S. government developed a facility to test new aviation technology as well as conducting nuclear tests, the facility was kept secret becuase of fear of the russians finding this technology and using it against the U.S. during the cold war, it was even denied existance by our own governemnt until bill clinton pass a bill that aknowleged it. but all it is, is a "secret" military base.
Some people say they saw UFO's there and what not but i no longer find that credible, even the "Roswell" incident was linked to Area 51 but i dont believe that either.
all it is, is a military base in nevada that is tip top secret.

A top secret military aerospace testing facility located near what used to be called Groom Lake on maps. Supposedly where secret technology was taken to keep it from prying eyes and also where new super secret craft are developed. Strange lights are often seen in the sky around it, aggressive military police guard it.
