Area 51 is a base used for research and development of aircraft systems. It was TOP secret, and is located near groom lake Nevada. According to my sources, it is still guarded but no longer the center for testing and research. The research was moved to two other locations, one was Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton Oh.
