    I am writing to you in regard to the conspiracy theories surrounding Area 51, and the lack of evidence to support these conspiracies. The conspiracy theories are centered on the belief that there is extraterrestrial life within Area 51. People, who live around the area or were traveling have claim they saw unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in the airspace above Area 51, especially during the 1950s and 1960s.

The worker, Robert Lazar claimed that he worked on alien technology in Area 51, and has alleged that the government has had interactions…

    Pros And Cons Of Area 51

    • 4 Pages

    Since, ex-US president, Barack Obama acknowledges its existence, saying that one of the first questions he was asked as president was what is going on at Area 51 (Time.com, 2013). Although limited information has been shared, the US government has acknowledged the use of Area 51. Per government documents that were declassified in 2007, Area 51 was used for a top-secret Cold War-era program known as Oxcart during the 1950s and 1960s. This aimed to develop an undetectable spy plane, used for gathering information without a trace. The A-12 was the result of the hard work, which could travel at over 3000 kilometres per hour (History.com, 2013). From the ground, aircraft like this is, by definition, a UFO (unidentified flying object), as the public was not informed about this special aircraft due to its classified role for the government. Additionally, author of Area 51: An Uncensored History, Annie Jacobsen, stated that Area 51 was the most important facility during the Cold War that pushed science further ahead of the Soviet Union and that it was developing air-surveillance technology to prevent further war (Independent.co.uk, 2011). The previous evidence confirms what Area 51 is used for, and that there was reason to hide the use to stop other governments being informed about the surveillance that the US government was…

    A National Geographic survey states that 77% of the population believe that aliens exist and could have visited the Earth. Over “80 million Americans, or 36% of the population, believe UFOs are real” (Live Science Staff). 68 years ago the nation was captivated by supposed reports that a UFO crashed on a ranch in Roswell, New Mexico. This subject has always been debated between the military and the public for years. In 1997 “the military released a 231 page report [hoping that all the rumors would stop]” (Peyser 1). Yet, the public still doubt the truth of the military report about the Roswell incident because there were several different stories that happened. I believe that a UFO could have landed, but that will never know the truth given…
