A. Area 51 is a top secret military base that wasn’t even considered to exist until 2013. Some people believe that UFO’s and alien objects are stored here, but this information cannot be proven. The content of area 51 today is unknown, but we do know what it was created for! I found most of my information on the internet and watching documentaries on this.
B. Location
1. Located in the remote Nevada desert near the dry bed of Groom Lake, Area 51 may be the most famous military installation in the world that doesn’t officially exist.
2. Though you can see the buildings on satellite images, this area is still considered nonexistent.
3. Also doesn’t appear on any public government maps.
4. Area 51 is about 80 miles north of Las Vegas. The closest observation point is at Tikaboo Peak, about 26 miles from the base. You will however have to climb the mountain to see the buildings in the distance. To get closer you will have to bypass security.
5. Area 51, Groom Lake or Dreamland. These are all names given to this secret US government site over the years. The original name "Area 51" is taken from maps that gave the area of land, marked by boundaries, a grid number, according to cnn.com.
6. The whole area is so vast that numbers were given on the maps instead of names. Area 51 occupies approximately 60 square miles which is much smaller than most people think.
Area 51 makes up only part of the vast 4687 square miles of the Nellis Air Force Range.
C. Area 51 is officially acknowledged
1. Area 51 has long been a topic of fascination for conspiracy theorists and paranormal enthusiasts, but newly released CIA documents officially acknowledge the site and suggest that the area served a far less remarkable purpose than many had supposed.
2. According to these reports, which include a map of the base's location in Nevada, Area 51 was merely a testing site for the government's U-2 and OXCART aerial surveillance programs. The U-2 program was used to spy
