Well my friend E.T. told me it was where his grandparents were kept, he tried to ring them via the intergalactic operator but came up with "the number you are looking for is unlisted Jive"

Answer 2

heard about it when I was 5 when my Uncle told me about his job .

Edit - Actually Jeeper , my Uncle works there and continues to work there , granted its not called area 51 but it is real , to answer another poster - there is no prison there , its a place where Military Jets are tested and assembled and it is apparently a very large facility , My Uncle would not go into any details . He did say the new B2 was made and tested there however .

Answer 3

I heard about it when I was around 8 or 10... Whenever Independence Day came out, I thought it was part of a movie but as I got olde even around 5th grade friends and I talked about with a serious tone. Its a big sercret that almost nobody knows anything about.

Answer 4

Age 21, initially it was where they kept interesting medical specimens now it's just for housing those that are considered a threat by being too active in opposition to national policy positions. It's just another special prison site now! Care to visit, I can arrange that you get the special tour!

Answer 5

There is no such thing as Area 51.

It is a made up thing by the conspiracy theorist.

Now there is a Groom Lake facility.
