Answer 1

There were experiments involving balloons and perhaps aircraft. Despite what the local tourism board wishes you to think, there was never any alien crash.

Here's a good source on the evolution of the story telling you what really happened:

Answer 2

Area 51 (formally known as Air Force Flight Test Center, Detachment 3 and also known as Dreamland, Watertown Strip, Paradise Ranch, The Box, Groom Lake) is a remote tract of land in southern Nevada, owned by the United States Air Force, containing an airfield whose primary purpose is the secret development and testing of new military aircraft. It is famed as the subject of many UFO conspiracy theories

Answer 3

No one really knows, but it was supposedly headquarters for the military's managment of UFO, EBE's and other secrets. The UFO crash in Roswell was supposedly taken to Area 51 for investigation.

Lately, operations at the base appear to be a front and the base seems inactive. Supposedly, the military's investigations and experiments involving aliens and experimantal aircraft have been moved to Groom Lake.

Security and paperwork regarding area 51 lead to numerous dead ends, enhancing the public opinion that something top secret was happening there.

Answer 4

This article is about the U.S. Air Force installation in Nevada.
Area 51 is a remote tract of land in the southwestern portion of Lincoln County in southern Nevada in the western United States. Situated at its center, on the southern shore of a large salt lake, is a large military airfield, one of the most secretive places in the world. The base's primary purpose is to support development and testing of new military aircraft and to analyse foreign aircraft and weapons systems. [1][2]

The base lies within the United States Air Force's vast Nevada Test and Training Range. Although the facilities at the range are managed by the 99th Air Base Wing at Nellis Air Force Base, the Groom facility appears to be run as an adjunct of the Air Force Flight Test Centre (AFFTC) at Edwards Air Force Base in the Mojave Desert, around 160 miles (260 km) from Groom (AFFTC homepage), and as such the base is known as Air Force Flight Test Center (Detachment 3).[3][4]

Other names used for the facility include Dreamland, Paradise Ranch[5], Home Base, Watertown Strip, and Groom Lake[6]. The area is part of the Nellis Military Operations Area, and military pilots refer to the forbidden airspace around it (R-4808N[7]) as The Box.

The intense secrecy surrounding the base, the very existence of which the US Government barely acknowleges, has led it to become the frequent subject of conspiracy theories and UFO folklore.

hope i helped!!!

Answer 5

The aliens escaped and killed a bunch of scientists and securty personnel. The base was contaminated by some weird alien bug and had to be abandoned. Everything that could be salvaged was moved, either to Groom Lake or to Wright-Patterson.

But don't tell anyone I said so.

Answer 6

It is currently being protected by the government. It is still there, but no one truly knows what they are researching there. Unless you work there. The current location is somewhere in the desert of Roswell New Mexico.

Answer 7

The US military assembled a group of all the eggheads and brainy people from across the country to try to create collectively the world's biggest booger. Unfortunately, upon its completion, all of their heads had collapsed......

Answer 8

It's a testing base for Top Secret equipment.Of course that's a guess.Here's a link with more information.

Answer 9

Secretive things we all want to know. By asking the question you know you won't get an answer but simply wanted to see what people would sa and maybe get a laugh or too. That's not an insult but to answer your question, nothing happened here. Things happened other places and we brought it here.

Answer 10

Darling, you aren't going to get a true answer from here. Anyone who actually knows isn't able to speak of it. If you want to know you should delve into conspiracy theories books, web sites, anything you can get your hands onto. :)
