Area 51 (officially known as Air Force Flight Test Center, Detachment 3 and also known as Dreamland, Watertown Strip, Paradise Ranch, The Box, Groom Lake, Neverland, and other names) is a remote tract of land in the southwestern portion of Lincoln County in southern Nevada, located at 37.239° N 115.816° W, at the southern edge of a large dry salt flat called Groom Lake. It lies within the Nevada Test and Training Range and is owned by the United States Department of Defense and the United States Air Force. Area 51 contains an airfield whose primary purpose is believed to be the operation and analysis of enemy aircraft and weapons systems, and secret development and testing of new military aircraft. Area 51 is the frequent subject of UFO conspiracy theories.
The area is top secret so nobody really knows what is going on there

I think it is an air force base that has nothing to do with aliens. I think America has discovered things that need to be kept secret from the world and most importantly the media!! If there ever is another World War, I would be interested to see what types of things America has stored in Area 51, because it will come out then!

Area 51 is the 51st section of the old Nevada weapon test area. its the common name for the advanced weapons air force test facility located at groom lake.
because it is high security, anything can be taking place there, from testing advance aircraft all the way to dissecting alien spacecraft if you listen to the right story. In my opinion, its just smoke and mirrors. i cant imagine the US government putting a top secret facility so close to Las Vegas.
until we can get some real reliable information i guess we will never know

The military needs places to develope new weapons and equipment. In light of this, they would rather have you think there is a UFO cover-up than have you think about their "Top Secret" developments. Area 51 is such a place.

It's an area in the desert which contains at least one airbase where some secret aircraft development and testing takes place. It's where the F-117 was developed and tested. Drop the paranoia. That's all it is.

Only a handful of the elitist in government know the full story of whaty goes on there. People who work there are confined to the work areas only, so they don't know what goes on throughout the facility.
