10 Things You Should Know about the Area 51 and the Aliens

Area 51 is the name that has been associated with a facility in the Nevada Test and Training Range. The facility belongs to the United States Air Force. The location has maintained a level of mystique since its inception in 1955 as the operations that take place there are highly classified. The only information that the public has on the base is that which has been given by the USAF. This information states that it is no more than an open training range. According to historical evidence, it is theorized that experimental aircra

ft and weapons are tested there.

As a result of the intense level of confidentiality associated with the base, other theories have also come to light over the years. One of the most popular and consistent theories is that of the aliens. Many members of the public believe that the reason the details are kept under the quiet is that aliens and unidentified flying objects (UFOs) are being kept there. In fact, there is quite a bit of folklore surrounding extra-terrestrials that is exclusively associated with the base. The mystique of Area 51 not only interests Americans, but there are also many countries in the world with citizens who are intrigued by it. Therefore, the surrounding area of Area 51 is now known as a very common tourist destination. While there is no way to be sure of what goes on there, below is a list of 10 facts you should know about Area 51 and the aliens.

 

10You Can’t Visit the Base

All the military air traffic is prohibited from passing above the area 51

One of the reasons the base is so confidential is because no visitors are allowed. This extends far beyond regular civilians, as members of the well-established media are not allowed on the site. Even normal military air traffic is prohibited from passing above the area. There are a border situated miles outside of the base that the public is not allowed to cross. There are signs at the edge of the border that indicate the same. The signs also indicate the fact that the use of deadly force is authorized simply for crossing the line.

There are also fences around the base’s perimeter, as well as heavily armed guards who are always on patrol. These guards are commonly referred to as “Camo dudes” simply because of the camouflage apparel they wear while on duty.

While the area between the border and the facility extends for miles, its entirety is well secured. In 2014, 8NN reported a story where an Adventure Photo Tour driver/tour guide accidentally crossed the border. The footage from the bus’s dashboard camera showed that he was distracted as he was answering a question from one of the tourists on the bus. As a result, he passed the border and the warning signs. Within minutes, three security vehicles arrived on the scene, and military personnel removed everyone on the bus. Lincoln County sheriffs were called onto the scene and they were removed. All parties on the bus were fined $650, however, the fines against all parties except the driver were dropped.

 

9Area 51 Is Not the Official Name of the Location

Area 51 is not the original name of the place, the name was created after a man who falsely claimed to be a former employee

8There Are Several Popular Conspiracy Theories

As stated before, Area 51 is at the center of many theories and folklore because of the mystique created by the base’s confidential nature. Below is an overview of some of the most common theories.

The first theory is that the base is believed to be working on (and has possibly completed) the development of weather control technology. It is further theorized that the base is working on developing teleportation and traveling mechanisms. Many people also theorize that the facility found crashed alien spacecraft. It is said that the spacecraft was taken and that the base’s team recovered materials and occupants from it. They then stored the spacecraft, materials, and occupants for examination purposes. The theory then states that not only did the base successfully reverse-engineered the spacecraft, but it also manufactured aircraft based on the design of same.

Another theory is that Area 51 has engaged (and possibly continues to engage) in meetings and agreements with extra-terrestrials. A lot of these theories relate to Groom Lake underground facilities. In fact, theorists also claim that there is an underground transcontinental railroad system, in addition to a disappearing airstrip that is only visible when water is sprayed onto its asphalt. This is believed to have been achieved through a camouflage system that is based on alien technology.

Some of the theories were sparked from personal accounts such as one in 1996 from a 71-year-old mechanical engineer. He claimed to be a former employee of Area 51 and claims that he worked on a flying disc simulator.

 

7People May Attempt to Storm the Base in September -19

There is always a possibility that Area 51 may be stormed by numerous civilians in the future.

This point goes to show why it is important to be careful about what you choose to post on social media sites. The possibility now exists that Area 51 may be stormed by numerous civilians in the future. The event is formally known as “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us.”

It was started by a man named Matty Roberts. Roberts created a Facebook event, which is set for September 20, 2019. The idea is to raid the military base to search for extra-terrestrial life. The premise is that if enough persons take part in the raid, it is impossible for the base to stop them all. Roberts has since confirmed that his intention was a comedic one and it was never meant to garner much attention. However, 3.5 million people have responded to the event.

Laura McAndrews, an Air Force spokeswoman reported that government officials are aware of the event. She discouraged everyone from attempting to enter the base, citing that it is a training ground for American armed forces. McAndrews further went on to state that the USAF stands ready to protect both America and its assets. It is believed that many of these people do intend to take part in the alien search as businesses in Nevada and others around the country are seeing the effects of the event. There have been spikes in accommodation bookings around the proposed date. Many businesses have been getting in on the action in various ways such as launching merchandise based on the event.
