The Secrets of Area 51
Area 51 has many names, the official name is Air Force Flight Test Center or AFFTC for short. The government has tried their best to hide this place. No one is really sure what they could be doing there. The public is not sure what types of things Area 51 is testing.The mystery of Area 51 can be summed up in two theories: aliens and secret experimental aircraft testing.
Just north of dry-bed lake Area 51 is at the Nevada test site. However, the government leaves the public in the dark, you cannot find the location of Area 51 on any maps for instance the United States Geological Survey map or the air support for it on aeronautical maps. In fact, Area 51 does not officially
exist the area around it is highly guarded signs around it say things like ¨NO TRESPASSING´´ and ´´USE OF DEADLY FORCE IS AUTHORIZED´´. Given These points, Area 51 is one of the most secretive military bases, websites say ´´The base is hidden from snooping eyes by the mountain ranges of the Emigrant Valley and is protected by almost a thousand miles of restricted air space´´(Noa 1). The government really does not want anyone to see what they are hiding. It is one of the most secretive places on the planet. To begin with, in 2004 classified files were uncovered about how it was used for a cold war project to test a new kind of plane that would fly undetectable. It also had spy plane projects such as the U-Z and SR-71. In addition, people didn't know what was really going on ´´Such experimental aircrafts traveling at such incredible speeds resemble some idea of what people reported are alien space crafts helping to explain there were so many reports´´(History.com staff 2). All the mystery aircrafts were newly designed spy planes. Area 51 could be keeping secret new aged aircrafts. All things considered, people reported unnatural phenomenon such a odd lights, aircrafts stopping abruptly, and also hovering in the sky. After all, Robert Lazer had an experience with the base, Robert had said ´´ It is a place engineers strive to unlock the series of extraterrestrial technology( 101). Robert claimed to work on a project involving UFOs and how to reverse engineer them. In fact he said that him along with many other scientist worked and would fly the alien spacecrafts. Strange events always take place in the skies of the testing site in Nevada. All in all theorist believe aliens or aircrafts are the two mysteries of Area 51. Documents have been uncovered showing that Area 51 is for spy planes and aircraft projects. Many people have come forward and told their experiences with area 51 and their UFO reverse engineering projects. What kind of aircrafts are the hiding at Area 51 spy planes or UFOs. This is just one of the secrets the government is keeping.

The government that operates Area 51 probably has something to hide. “The faculty, which comprises thousands of acres, is surrounded by security fencing and intruder-detection systems, and is regularly patrolled. A no-fly zone operates above it” (Lewis 7). When trying to keep a top secret controlled and contained, special precautions would be prepared and enforced. “Few of the human government employees who work at Groom have ever talked about their work” (Lewis 7). In order to work at a top secret facility, a person would be inclined to keep quiet about work and everything he is involved with at the work place. Many people argue that many experiments have taken place at the super-secret base, but not on aliens. In 1989 Bob Lazar, a former government employee who worked at Groom Lake (Area 51), announced that “… he too had been involved in “back engineering” at Area 51’s S-4 hangars complex…” (Lewis 7). Back engineering is “The analysis of a completed system in order to isolate and identify its individual components or building blocks” (encyclopedia2.thefree...

7. The Salinas Valley is located at the Middle Western part of California, south of the Monterey bay. It is surrounded by mountains on the east, and west side and open to the bay in the north. With the parallel mountain ranges and the border with the bay, this would create a high humidity area with rain clouds being trapped in the channel between the mountains.
There are many conspiracies that people say have happened at the Roswell crash in the summer of 1947 in Roswell New Mexico. Nobody knows what really happened at the crash in Roswell New Mexico but, many people say that the thing that had crashed there was a UFO and or a flying saucer which mean there being aliens. Even after 50 years the people still do not know what happened and for everybody that doesn’t know were going to go deeper into what really happened. This incident had caused a lot of chaos with the Air force and the people.
There is no doubt that an elaborate underground base exist below the Denver International Airport. What actually is going on down below in this base however is a mystery. When taking a closer look at this airfield it is evident that something weird is going on. “While the most extreme claim maintains that a massive underground facility exists below the airport where an alien race of reptilian humanoids feeds on missing children while awaiting the date of government-sponsored rapture” (Maher 4). This extreme claim just shows what the human mind can conceive when coincidence and the unknown meet. The research is done, is there a conspiracy or is it just being blown out of proportion.
The location of Area 51 isn’t exactly hard to find, this place can be found roughly 80 miles northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada, and even a quick search in google will give you the exact coordinates and location of the facility. However, it’s still surrounded by a high-level of security, nobody is allowed to drive, fly or walk near this area, which is the main reason why the general public is curious and suspicious of the activity at area 51. Rumors of UFO’s crash landing, alien captures and covers ups only fuel the conspiracy theories. Area 51 has become synonymous with conspiracies, UFO’s and Aliens.
It’s a valley in Egypt that was used for over 500 years during ancient Egyptian times as a resting place for Pharoahs. The site’s most famous Pharaoh buried at the site is King Tut, which started the Pharoah’s Curse legend when a group of Archaeologists died excavating the tomb. Almost all of the tombs have been ransacked since ancient times but, much of the beauty and architectural ingenuity can still be seen at the site. Don’t expect to see every tomb that the Valley has, though. Only a portion of the royal tombs is open to the
Area 51, also known as Homey Airport, is a US Air Force base. It is located in Nevada, north of Las Vegas. It is also unknown what is kept inside because everything is top secret. However, it is most likely new aircraft and technology for aircraft. There is little information about the Air Force Base available, so it is easy to spin any story one wishes to put online.
The UFO crash site in Roswell New Mexico in 1947 was the start of people’s interest in extraterrestrials, the discovery of military secrets and experiments kept from society, and the start, in search of answering are we alone in this universe.
As people are constantly trying to create explanations for the unknown, the complexity of the site has brought people to believe that man could not have built it. Since man could not have made this structure, the next obvious conclusion would be that aliens built it.
As I carry on my studies in Elementary Education, The field experience assignment has been a learning and growing experience for me. This semester I did five hours in a physical education class and during my experience I learned a lot. As I spoke to the Physical Education teacher Ms. Hines, she informed me that this school year was a tough year for her. From all her classes she had two classes were a couple of kids who had disabilities and the rest of the students were only Spanish speakers. The teacher only spoke English, which caused some difficulties describing her lesson of the day to her students.
Area 51 first became popular in the 1950’s when it was created, and shortly after when many UFO sightings were reported there. Area 51 was created by the U.S. Government as a place to test top secret military weapons, especially military aircraft (“Groom Lake Air Force Base - Area 51”). It is located in a remote part of the desert in Nevada. None of the public is allowed inside of area 51 and no one knows what truly exists inside the gates, and what the government and the military are hiding in there. The government has dismissed most of these claims as testing aircraft and other weapons, but there are some that have never been solved and still remain a mystery today. People have often speculated what is inside and what exactly goes on inside the gates, but no one really knows, except the people who have worked there and are sworn to secrecy. Many believe that the UFOs seen near Area 51 and across the United States are U-2 spy planes that the military was testing there, however, there are some people who think the government is hiding a major secret there from the U.S. public, that there are aliens and extraterrestrial spacecraft being stored there.
I went onto Google and typed in ‘Is the government hiding aliens?’ and around 625,000 results appeared in 0.74 seconds. I clicked on the second result which took me to www.dailymail.com.uk which talked about how an old defense minister claims that aliens have visited earth before and that the government is most definitely hiding them. The next website I explored was www.telegraph.com and the value of their website was very important. I learned that Area 51 supposedly does not do research on aliens, but a NASA worker claims that there is aliens the government is hiding. This information will definitely help me answer my research question later on in my
Most people today believe area 51 is where the government store, and do research on the “alien ships”. Because of its high security, warning signs, and even to the black armored trucks with armed men watching your every move as you approach the signs that say “ no one without a high security clearance can go beyond this point” It has been the main focus of the alien theories. But what about the other bases? Such as, Pine Gap (Australia), Kapustin Yar (Russia), HAARP Research Station (Alaska), Porton Down (UK), and most recently the Dulce bases (A.K.A.) Area 52. All of these bases you can find loads of information on except for the new Dulce base. Was area 51 a cover up for the real Alien base? “There is no concrete evidence to this day about Dulce. It is alleged to be located near the Colorado-New Mexico border town of Dulce. Why can we not locate it? Because it is located underground. Completely Secluded area under the Archuleta Mesa” (Top 5 secret). While there is little to no information on this base, there are a few articles that support the Dulce base is the “secret” that the government has been trying to hide away from society for many years. One of the many reasons they may be hiding this “operation” is because there is new found evidence of an “alien” race that is native to Earth and that has been here all
The creation of Area 51 began in April of 1955, when a Lockheed test pilot, Tony LeVier, searched for a remote site to test the U-2. Grooms Lake is chosen as the location for the runway. By August of 1955, the U-2 makes its first flight from Grooms Lake. That was only the beginning for test flights from Area 51. In April 1962, the first A-12 Blackbird was tested at Groom Lake. February 1982, the F-117A Stealth fighter takes off for the first time. All other test flights have not been released to the public, but that doesn't mean they don't occur. However, they are, in no way, shape or form, alien test flights. Nearly all of the evidence that supports the alien spacecraft theory, is without backing, or solid information. Also, the US government played on the UFO theories to hide their own testing plans. Today, Area 51 is the home to the latest top secret aircraft: the Aurora, among others Many of these aircraft, past and present, are able to perform incredible feats in the sky. Some so unbelievable, that they could be mistaken for alien spacecraft by fanatics of extra-terrestrials. However, based on the falsified eye-witness accounts of Area 51, and declassification of military spy planes like the U-2 and F-117A Stealth fighter, I am here to tell you that these flights are not alien crafts, but actually secret military aircraft.
