hi all
although officially our government denies its very existence
area 51 has become part of our popular culture
inspiring films
books
and TV shows 0 but to truly understand the area 51 mystique
we must look beyond the extraordinary claims and conspiracy theories
is to Bible study on the atomic testing ground yucca plant Nevada
to a time when our nation was gripped by the paranoia of the cold war
3 to one t0
at
a time when area 51 was literally carved out at the nevada desert
the several areas set aside for atomic testing
area where the where the groom lake area 51 here mace
Texas on that land banking and the
early fifties ways
grabbed by the I Atomic Energy Commission which is now called
the doña the Department of Energy and these are the people
who've been responsible for the nation's nuclear weapons the
they need somewhere to test the
and south central Nevada fairness
place that no one cared about very much in the last night contest
around I'm
on old maps if you look at old maps in this area Atomic Energy Commission maps
you will see a divided up into areas the big boxes
on and at a certain time the champ have landed where
room dry lake it's just one of the many dry alkaline Lake against her
out in an area I was called area 51
I
those are old maps in that system is not used anymore but the name area 51 is
sort of
stuck to the place I'm
the
in the spring in 1955 the area include number 51
took on a much larger role in our government's dealings the soviet empire
the year
Lougheed paramedics engineering genius Kelly Johnson
designed america's first super secret spy plane
the you too %uh
but Johnson had one problem he needed a place to test his call for creation
he turned to his trusted friend civilian test pilot
Tony the beer I'm
the man who some say is the truth father up area 51
I told Kelly and simple words I know exactly what you want
and I get right with which I did
I'm searching for the perfect dry lake on
can I knew dry lake as the best
natural planning feel for experimental
flying them ever was devised I'm
for nearly a week tony La beer and his team scoured the Nevada desert
checking out dozens remote sites but when they cross the numbers no
range and came upon a groom lake
dear immediately know that their search was over
displaying on a scale wonder tenet of 10 plush
the rest of them don't even stand a chance
its location was
really out in like God forsaken country and
a not very many people roam around of parched
and turn now that the CIA
over across the hill some 30-40 miles from
us had all of facilities and equipment to do this or other stuff
and they said it will build a base for ER
lead with that area 51 became my government's most top secret military
facility
ok
within a few short weeks Tony the beer found himself behind the controls are
Kelly Johnson's cold-war brainchild the u-2 spy plane
T
in anymore the most powerful weapon is information about the enemy
in the late 1950s
the u-2 spy plane developed and test flown at area 51
became a government secret weapon in the cold war against the Soviet Union
we knew the Russians were working as fast in cleverly as they could to make
nuclear bombs
but we had no way to look into their mastering
them so the CIA
went to the lockheed skunkworks which is an early plea in lieu engineering group
at a time
and said can you make us something it flies high
with a buncha fast work made one in the first
really invincible spy planes the you too
a quick with sensitive infrared cameras
you too is capable of producing detailed aerial images are enemy installations
from as high up as eighty thousand feet far beyond the range
anyway although you too was actually a spy plane
our cover story was put out that it was being tough to the perlite
for high-altitude weather research for the National Advisory Committee on
aeronautics
professor turned out
and the aircraft were actually painting walls am a CPA marketing class 1 crash
stop by
I'm
for years the YouTube dozens of clandestine missions
with total anonymity bringing back vital photographic proof
russia's military a nuclear weapons buildup
putting me in nineteen sixty all the secrets surrounding the u-2 spy plane
came crashing down secret because in some Russia
II flying American new to the Jets ended 1-1 was down
deep in soviet territory its pilot France's powers has made the subject of
a showcase
trial
you can display miss shootdown
Francis Gary Powers and he was captured in this wasn't very sensitive moment in
time when there is mesothelioma lawsuit
this summit meeting coming between
eisenhower and Christian and about five days before this our guy falls out of
the sky and I think knowledge der planet this week restrain a huge
flap Gary Powers was convicted of spying by Sylvia court
and sentenced to 10 years in prison the however he was later released
exchanged for a Soviet agent in US custody
there's no question in my mind the intelligence
but they got on Russia
ok
probably kept us are worth three on
but the U-two was just the first of many top-secret aircraft
to be developed and tested in the desert skies over area 51
there for you to program was completed
by you bigger like facility to test the a12 my mind which has claimed more
line inaccessible art marine altitudes above 18,000 be
this was the be pro-family sr-71 Blackbird
the
still flying today the Blackbird push the envelope supersonic
aerodynamic technology
like the U-two the sr-71 Blackbird
was used for high altitude military reconnaissance mmm
listen any technology advanced
and even our most sophisticated aircraft became vulnerable
on the clandestine projects in the area 51
0 took on perch and surprisingly new direction
0 yet
according to some experts three different kinda beer craft was being
tested and
in a dark skies about area 51
there turns out that
various agents on mars were able to procure
Russian military hardware Spain's entire me
fighters three are air defense systems
et cetera do
obviously certain people in certain governments and militaries
behind the Iron Curtain were corruptible and somehow the stuff ended up a groom
lake
yeah never squadrons and guys called red hands
were american pilots who flew makes processing your enemies weapon in taking
a hard is usually is
this is a great cook
and Internet that was an important thing going on a groom lake
now is really a highly kept secret
but russian nations and the Red Hat's cloud were the only secrets being kept
at area 51 when you follow dreamlike
into the seventies when you start getting into the era stealth
done
war
in this is when may have blue Plains were
involved in testing late
in the column technology demonstrators and the idea was hey
we figured out that you can really manipulate radar reflections by having
the splatter faceted surfaces
thing looks like somebody's time in rain what is gonna fly
want well okay you better bill one and try that out before you order alleged
easy
and I am Blues were a little too third size comedian Bill
jobs that drew yes you can you can make these things are a dynamic and
controllable
and you can make an extremely hard to see on radar wall
at the same time than other really weird program which was just declassified
called tacit blue which is so
I just an ugly ugly divisive look like a cross between a loaf of french bread in
a snow shovel
low
what these guys are trying to do is figure out I
compound contour is going beyond slack faceted
still shapes and getting into snows like your car body has nice rounded curves
I'm
from the have blue and tacitly projects emerge the technology for America's most
top-secret aircraft to date
for years they were reports of strange black wedges piercing the skies near
Greenlake
all and rumors have a stealth aircraft
decades ahead of its time
the
succeed boers about area 51 proved to be more fact
than fiction when in nineteen be the US military
officially unveiled the b-2 stealth bomber at the F one seventeen
stealth fighter the Air Force uses the proceeds
shield advanced technology the hope is that if we can keep something in the
dark as long as possible
a potential enemy will not gain an advantage
such gesture with the shelf program
during the
testing the F one seventeen everything evolves around working at night
mechanics engineers pilot everybody adapted to living at night
way
and who flew black jerseys call felt were
black in february of nineteen ninety-one
the years a secret flights in the skies at the Nevada desert
were put to the test over the desert sands of the Persian Gulf
the F one seventeens your response call the stealth fighters actually like
bomber
a turn it be very useful in the persian gulf war
and it works the
this the world watched b-2 stealth bomber
present F one seventeen stealth fighters delivered in president did
devastating Raina firepower honestok Iraqi army
the totally unaware that such weapons of mass destruction
it
even existed no
well
and today the secrets at area 51 continue
rumors persist a highly classified hypersonic aircraft
known St Aurora
Aurora surname that term loosely researchers give to
very fast attack craft which being and developed and tested under
on the black programs although no published photographs a B or exist
there is no shortage of visual interpretations of this alleged
high-tech spy plane their
based on revolutionary propulsion technology
this aircraft is set to fly its six times the speed of sound
it can attack with pinpoint accuracy this is a rule pretty substantial step
forward in aviation technology
what it means is you take a very big step towards
true global war fighting on you have
they put down the basis technology
of which allows you not only to perform reconnaissance missions but a home
I'm precision strike
I'm anywhere in the globe within a very few hours
all decision to cut
Aurora would be a perfect fit please area 51 because
you need big tract of land and a big bass to
small this aircraft and hide it that's one area 51 settlement
well to date our government's position his own labeling
officials insist that no such aircraft is the aura
exists I can tell you that the committee's the appropriations
committees in both houses the Armed Services Committee
have investigated Aurora chiefly blue in the face
an award does not exist we wish we had an Aurora
a plane that can travel to Baghdad in three hours it may be on somebody's
drawing boards for such a technology
right now that does not exist the
this culture of secrecy that surrounds area 51
has inevitably lead to a Klein
is too strange to be believed and true believers have turned the area
surrounding the base
into a virtual Convention Center a conspiracy I'm
the one thing I guess a lot of people should understand
that Nevada's has the wind
and the police extraterrestrial highway
in the world
in 1986 the state of Nevada officially dumb
375 the extraterrestrial highway
to the countless sightings of UFO's reported by residents
and visitors to the area wicked his victory
that here
the whole UFO and alien connection to area 51
can be traced directly to one man MIT graduate and physicist
Bob Lazar
area 51 story first became
public to the public eye tonight the
a 89 when Bob Lazar came out with a story that he had in fact worked on
alien spacecraft at area 51 when was I went public with his claims
the media went wild
for
it took me seven or eight months the talk in the sitting out for dinner
and when we finally sat down he told me
the most incredible story I've ever heard as a journalist that day he work
at an area called
ask or sell the groom lake that the the facility was built into the side over
a mountain to make it the sky's the hangars were disguised to look like
are the mail the that inside this Mel ok or syriza
nine different hangers an insight into the hangar was something that looks like
a flying saucer
be solved one of them flying a test flight while at the base he was allowed
to read several briefing documents which indicated that their
these world daily in origin so was a pretty fair test score
Llamazares claims did not convince everyone he may have seen something
dead heat that up the trade is being alien because maybe it didn't fit his
normal description of what would be a
department if answer Department of Energy a the
peace my you know I've been out there
there is no UFO's there's no aliens are nothing like them there this is a
top-secret facility but not for that time
the bomb was our story can we want very schizophrenic
there's a lotta good evidence that he's telling the truth
mom but my a stance
instead things did not happen as lazar sense
but where we wanna make a Bob Lazar he is the springboard
the chest launched this spooky base into the public eye
within months thousands flock to the Nevada desert
to search for strange objects in the sky by controlling behavior
the concept to the stations by extraterrestrial beings
have become a large part of popular culture it's drawn
hundreds perhaps thousands of visitors out to an area of the desert but
ordinarily would be avoided by most sensible people
that's bald now on the other side like not surprisingly
reports UFO's and bizarre creatures from other worlds
became almost commonplace how bright star
polish sure look at this num
now it's not it's got two miles on either side to very distinctive loads on
either side of it may look at you the truth scanner
it maybe that people what to believe that were being visited by
be as fun as well civilization preposterous and nasty ones here
right place the rumor is a lazy they're coming from Mar million light years out
there making it time job slice of
school that is so cool weld
the sudden interest in influx of tourists to the area
help transform the nearby town Rachel Nevada
ones just a tiny dot on the map
Rachel become a mecca for believers and non-believers alike
people come on here in a stretch for the meeting
relay they want answers things they can't find it
routes
many at the curious drop by to little alien
to escape the desert heat and swap stories of close encounters
every kind low
I don't think there's a dayquil by that we don't hear something
somebody
a lot
actually works category and they have told
that they worked with bush camp another planet and they
they said there's more than one Chi a large in a small nose great up reptiles
and orange a blue and a humanoid I don't think that there's get a complete story
on what maybe
over-the-hill I in
in my heart would like to think that they're aliens in area 51 but I don't
really believe it until I see more but it's a great subject for motion picture
more as executive producer of the blockbuster sci-fi thriller independence
day
bill Fay encountered a rather artificial response
when he saw the military's technical support in making the film
move we had a meeting with all the branches of the military in
Department defense representatives and they said them
we really liked the script campuses betrays a military in a very good life
and we like pretty much everything about it except for one thing we
when you take out all the references to area 51 the
reserves prize
we're sure where that in turn
me from the low point in the film is playing up on the mythology
a very 51 and they're really strikes chord with people obviously
so it's something that we can possibly changing it was an integral part a story
and we start all done at me said
okay we can help him low
why is the military so concerned about aliens
an area 51 ironically
in August 1997 after decades denials about everything from the YouTube
to the aura the CIA made a shocking admission
there was a CIA report released dad admitted that
the air force issues UFO's starting from forties fifties sixties under the
present as a cover story
summer activities in
according to the CIA's official statement thousand to be well as
reported by eyewitnesses
were merely covert test and reconnaissance flights %uh
when you compile a lock otherwise to the historic you too
the sr-71 and its predecessor
antacid blue which led to the development
the stealth fighter the hero of the gulf war you will have all the UFO sightings
area 51 accounted for but why allow the rumors and UFO's and aliens
to run so rampant CIA
spans over half its budget in counterintelligence and disinformation
activities
the idea being if we can tie up the enemy
get them to waste their energy and resources chasing down things that don't
exist
that's a way that we can get an advantage over them
so if you dismiss these claims as being claims
UFO's people will not investigating further it was a very clever cover story
many believe that the recent admission by the CIA
is nothing more than their latest bid disinformation
intended to cover up the truth about UFO's
and area 51 a
there could be aliens they could not be aliens but the reality is there's a
major facility that there is no doubt about it
you just look over the mountain Seattle
what has happened at area 51 is that
in an attempt to keep the facility has
secret as possible they haven't actually made it has
famous as it could possibly be down I'm a household word I'm
at all that attention has put this one's inconspicuous and unassuming
installation
on the map for just about anyone to fine
this is where the government goes one wants to be alone in our despite our
best efforts
peer into it hi
and despite trying to track down people who've worked there in a scene thanks
it still a very black place
locating the top-secret facility is fairly simple
but getting inside is an altogether different matter
there is no fence surrounding the girl like area
there is a border poorly marked
but it is to bind by a number on
orange post this review by mountains
much for hosta yet in your own here during the summer
and you don't drink a couple gallons of water a day two or three days
dead
and his mother nature isn't enough to deter the persistent trespasser
the ever-present and far-reaching security system
usually does the trick behind me right now are two men
or security guards morning secret base area 51
there after watching us much everything we do and I part not killers
there are several remote TV cameras long as bridgeline the whole area some with
magnetic sensors in electro-optical trip sensors
and perhaps or even listening to us right now way the
area around the base even on public land
is laced with road sensors to detect vehicles traveling
islander roads back
backcountry outside best so the security guards know you're coming
some claim that the security technology is so advanced
the folks at area 51 can even smell you coming
do it is rumored to the perimeter is laced with sophisticated sensors
capable of distinguishing orders emitted by humans
from the distinct smells a other desert creatures roaming the area
T
besides same stop here
how unexploded ordnance contaminated area
radiation or well i misses use deadly force author
that stops most people the foolish on the ones that go on
gone now people start coming down in jeeps and
four wheelers and all sudden you're presented with to
couple guys with automatic rifles and they
they did resentful that they're told to back up their own if you turn around you
be shot
when people have been unfortunate enough to
continues to the guardhouse have been arrested
never believe they are tackled
thrown to the ground you know I get the next step dad
hog-tied
hold of Bosco and held firm
long periods of time and had to pay hefty fines
as well as having to sign away rights to talk about what they had seen
even though I haven't seen anything because I never got anywhere near the
base
yeah
in recent years the new attention being lavished on area 51
has resulted in tighter security and an ever-expanding perimeter
are there used to be to mount
but you can look down and to you area 51 one was free bridge
just right up there with security patrols looking down on us
and over the hill right there was Whitesides mount
I 11 and 12 miles away respectively you had a really nice view
but the air force on requested and was granted
four thousand-acre
for all to those two mountains and make restricted area
so now those places wrong limits we have to go 26 miles away
to take a peek
the while millions of dollars a man hours are spent keeping people how to
area 51
the government also goes to great lengths
to get people in we're in what's known as the Janet terminal
this where the vast majority of the workers at the groom lake based park
their cars
by a privately owned aircraft area 51
located on the northwest corner of the main commercial Airport in Las Vegas
agenda terminal is the employees gateway to area 51
there dwells asleep snowing seven thirty-sevens
don't wake me and red stripe on
and these planes %uh load
people who show up in he parked their cars
in a secured parking lot me waiting little terminal until it's time to go
these aircraft are on by the Air Force but when they refer to an FAA
frequencies they're known as Janet just like another
by Pike known as TWA 123 these are known as Janet 123
like nearly everything else concerning area 51 the origins of the name
Janet given to these flights and the terminal itself
is a mystery
than one on the surface appears too many to be just normal activity
can be perceived by trained eyes quite differently
everyone the GC get on these planes is conspicuously
casual this is a mixture of civilian workers
and military workers you can tell the difference don't see any
business suits don't seem any military uniforms
just see people in baseball caps carrying I duffel bags
the rule at this facility is keep it low key and
so low-key that draws attention to the place
cities Janet airplanes the latter stages just like any other plane would
except they go years
and in fact the Janet airplanes responsible for a lot of
heartfelt UFO sightings
because done as something fly it made insulin start coming in around two or
three in the morning
and if you stand up on some deals we used to stand on a foreign land was
grab by the military you could see
the landing lights when these planes coming in
and due to the approach Anthony angle that would a year at its center
you see an extremely bright light coming at you for me
miami Heat minutes that he is almost still
but not played still and this is something that's gonna be
mothership say to ridicule Iranian now it's a 737
all the area 51 employees who don't like to fly
go by bus
inconspicuous vehicles the travel to the groom lake facility
on a daily basis cool
what exactly happens after employees arrive at their destination his
of course a secret
protected under strictly enforced national security regulations
I'm wall workers to
go to girl I'm are required to sign secrecy arts
promising they'll never disclose I'm
anything avail seen or heard out there her tell about the work done
I'm problem with the base that doesn't exist is that it doesn't have to obey
public loss a base doesn't exist past doesn't have to worry about
worker rights just have worry about environmental last
I'm if workers can't even talk about it
the government beloved it exists the
been who's accountable when something goes terribly wrong
I'm the shroud of secrecy in developing
area 51 was suddenly threatened when a group
former workers file a lawsuit in federal court
alleging criminal wrongdoing by the government
the area 51 litigation is very serious
because it involves allegations not just a criminal conduct but allegations dead
criminal acts were knowingly committed under
the veil of secrecy and then those criminal acts may have resulted in the
deaths
out to people in the injuries to a large number
other workers and
in their lawsuit the former workers claim that for more than a decade
the government secretly and knowingly burned highly toxic waste
at area 51 the government had decided today I'd
area 51 did not exist legal here initialed
so they didn't want a cargo of trash garbage
in hazardous waste from this large air base the
nothing going in really went out spend
in is a star in do experimental aircraft answered operate large numbers a planes
they started produce a lot a hazardous waste to discern Burnett
which of course is a crime the
it was a hazardous waste dump that was being used as an open here to sponsor
system
on
in August 1994 Helen frost filed a lawsuit on behalf of her late husband
and six other former employees at area 51
to
forced to subtly suffer with similar conditions
but right from the start Attorney Jonathan Turley knew he was fighting
an uphill battle even when we filed this case for the first two hearings the
government refused to admit the existence a very
51
and this is a base that you can see from public lands
this is a base that has pictures taken out the russians under treaty are
allowed to fly over it
and you've got these department just as we're saying well we can admit or deny
the existence to the space
i'm looking at them and think I'll Drive you to the damn based judge I can point
at a time
I'm from September 29th 1995
after more than four decades and official denials
the US government actually for the first time
acknowledge the existence in the area 51 within the documents a presidential
determination
number 95 45
ever rather than helping the workers lost this official admission serb only
to increase the secrecy
surrounding area 51 on
president clinton signed deferment for the sky saying no you do not have to
respond to certain enquiries relating to this lawsuit and this is under the aegis
of Nations
church thats soo nice think is really ran into a roadblock
this presidential order I'm when you give an agency
rocketed to pursue his agenda starting all others
they're going to be abuses and we're paying for the species the
I'm
are I'll I'm
the recent controversy surrounding area 51
may now be a moot point
an article written by Jim Wilson and published in Popular Mechanics
came to a rather surprising conclusion
at area 51 has been moved the proof
for the decision to move area 51 is absence
have activity at the site
ongoing reports we would receive strange lights in the sky
suddenly began to diminish the number of sonic booms that were reported
began to diminish I'm
what had been happening there it very clear we stop happen
suspicious at the sudden drop-off in activity
Wilson decided to investigate first-hand and drove to the groom lake this already
where he found don't want complete emptiness
I drove along the road leading to the group drive like bad
I drove up so far that I actually came to our offense
delineating the the bombing range area nobody
went to the town a great trip hot checking out some friends who helped us
with previous stories
they want their I'm from this point on
we began to just do some basic detective work and I'm
we asked ourselves some questions in terms of where would you move the base
I'm in his article Wilson claims that the top secret projects
personnel and equipment they were housed at the groom lake facility
had been transferred to an abandoned missile launch complex
in Utah and two other military installations in Colorado
on
according to Wilson
the move was prompted by two major factors one of them
radioactive contamination result in extensive nuclear tests conducted during
the 1940s
and fifties there now beginning to discover
that from the underground test the materials are actually will be
work through the rock strata which was something that was never anticipated
there would be times Cadbury 51 when the facility would have to be
evacuated for several days due to radioactive for
sir
the site it's a very dangerous site and quite simply this is safe
to conduct these operations on
the second reason wilson offers for the abandonment of the area 51 facility
low is the changing focus on high-tech military projects
the United States Air Force has subtly changed its mission
it has moved from being an air and space force
to being a space and you're forced the next generation a secret craft
well be ones that are capable of flying in space in order to do this you need a
different
type a forged civility
and also need our support facilities
that would be very expensive duplicating
many these already exist in the vicinity of Colorado Springs
for you have existing launch facilities when you have a
very very secure Landing Facility and Michael Air Force Base
which is not in the middle of an area that absolutely no one in their right
mind once again here
this is where they tested biological low and their guess it
so has this legendary top secret base been shut down for good
that would seek which tie with it the breeze this latest revelation simply
just another piece in a distorted puzzle
the american myth known as area 51
I
it's my opinion that we'll never know what has gone on there in the past
little on what's going on there now mad the government has steadfastly
BlueWave rings here and there was my only other thing here we have an
installation help
biker Mike that's about it
do
I think that a lot of attention surrounding area 51 would be reduced if
the government simply
gave the basename said that they were doing secret projects there left it back
it's the idea the nameless non-existent based
really grab the public's attention
people love mysteries comments lungs were treated in this in this manner
many
Mike doesn't really exist we don't want to talk about it neatest
just past the mines run rampant and yeah
it is filled with about my sister tales and aliens in
who knows what else
since you can't prove what goes on here you can blame on their place whatever
you want JFK's hooked up with that you know elvis is there
when everyone it's a perfect black *** upon which to to rate your dreams in
your fears
the
government still has projects with your Twitter sense that
and the public's right to know doesn't necessarily include everything
do
don't mind them test flying in the air or whatever aircraft we are at a greater
range
the other things that have a comp in it
him behind the bill secret see them that bothers me
people want to believe the government is out there doing something
and keeping things away from them that they should know but there is things
that go on out there
that need to be done for the national security this country it's not because
we wanted
bribe the people in the united states and the information we want to provide
certain other countries across the ocean up information see what's going on there
isn't really a mystery is some of the most advanced to stand in the yard work
better government as a nation is doing
and it's one of the handful up so when he's in the world that are
the state-of-the-art mineral mining hopefully have more programs that the
bus
on the true nature very 51 will be revealed
probably a lot of people will be disappointed when they find out come one
day and actually here
I'm
but mundane or not one thing is for certain the mystique about area 51
has captured the imagination other nations
this is a place for some people's dreams do come true
engineers the scientist in me
women who have the vision
for these new
break ahead far-reaching technologies are developed down here
for people like myself it's more like a mirage
dream
