From shows such as The X-files we can find the degree of attention given Area 51 and it's popularity in some places. The director of the X-files, for example, got the idea for his show after Bob Lazar, ex-employee of Area 51, told viewers of a Las Vegas television network that he worked on alien craft in Dreamland. But is it all fiction, or are there really alien experiments being conducted in Groom Lake, it's not unlikely. Though alien experimentation is a widely accepted theory in the civilian world, we have little to no proof.
The crash at Roswell, New Mexico is the most known of alien encounter all over America and some parts of the world, and a lot of people would rather know the truth of this alone. But some of this population probably never thought of the long standing idea that the presumed alien crash at Roswell is being reverse engineered by the U.S. Air Force somewhere in the basements of Groom Lake. There have been other stories of extra terrestrial crashes around the world and maybe a few in America, but these aren't as well known mainly because the Government beat everybody to the crash site before anybody had much time to make any connection. But there have been unconfirmed sightings of alien crafts that will, time to time, hover up, out of Groom Lake, float in one space and position, then drift back down noiselessly as if nothing ever happened. Could this be an alien craft, or another one of the famous stealth jets that Area 51 is already famous for making, such as the U-2 and the more current F-117? With all of this myster shrouding Groom Lake, one would think that one of the chemically affected workers would let the public know about what his job was in Area 51 or Area 19 (will explain Area 19 later.), which sparks a bigger mystery. Why do ex-Navy SEALs, electronic and aviation engineers, and scientists gamble with their lives by working in Groom Lake when it is public knowledge that the Government burns illegal chemicals in trenches and has killed many workers and their families by doing so?
In the beginning days of Area 51, many workers started to complain about getting sick from the chemicals that were being burned in trenches around the compound. After a few lawsuits filed against Area 51, the Government took the problem to the president, it was Eisenhower at the time, and President Eisenhower immediately made an act stating that no corporation can go into, let alone inspect, Area 51 for any reasons involving chemicals. And it has been a "presidential tradition" ever since to keep this act going. What are these illegal chemicals, anyway? And why burn them? These are questions that probably won't be open to the public for a long time.
Presidential Input
One thing people know as a fact is that during the first years of Area 51, President Eisenhower and the military denied the existence of Area 51 and Groom Lake completely. After some years of enthusiasts prying into Governmental business, the military confirmed the existence but denied that they did anything other than study of air craft. And then, of course, Eisenhower put his act into effect, so, now that everybody knows that Area 51 exists, nobody can get in there. And since then every President has kept the act going, whether they know what's going on in there or not. President Bush just signed the act in 2003. Butthat's another big question to think about, if any of the presidents were to get curious and ask to take a tour of Areaa 51, would he be allowed? And if the President can, can he order them to reveal to the public what they're currently working on?
Area 19, Area 51's neighbor
When you put a group of pilots together it's natural for them to talk about scary things that have happened to them, funny stories, sad stories, and many other types of stories. Word spread quickly amongst pilots of the story of a pilot and a co-pilot who went through an eerie experience at Area 19. They were told to land on the runway at Area 19, which is close to Area 51, and drop off the passengers, whom were all memebers of the military, all dressed in black. As they neared Groom Lake they asked permission to land and permission was granted, the only problem, there was no airstrip. But as they neared the unseen strip, they noticed a small barracks that was cloaked with a desert camoulflage tarp which they hadn't seen before, when all of the sudden sprinklers sprang from the ground and started spraying the ground in front of the barracks, wetting the tarmac airstrip. After landing, the passengers rushed off the plane and the pilot was told to leave as soon as the last person was off and the door was shut. Seconds after taking off the pilot recalled looking back and seeing nothing but sand where the airstrip once was.
It is said that the military made this system so if there were to be any kind of war, this airstrip, along with the hangars and barracks, all camoulflage, would not be seen by enemy planes and would give our Air Force the tactical advantage. Area 19 is somewhat smaller than Area 51 and totally hidden from the human eye, except for one, single power line. This power line is the one thing that attracts Groom Lake fans to Area 19. Miles and miles one would travel, following this line, when, in the middle of the desert, it just disappears into the sand. Lots of people believe that there is an underground tunnel between the two bases where they can exchange documents, maybe a few aircraft pieces, and just possibly alien bodies.
Witnesses
Before Area 51 came into the eye of the public, a man named Bob Lazar was an employee of Area 51, he was a mechanic. I'm not sure what compelled him to bring his job into the public, maybe he was fired, or maybe it was the chemicals, but Bob Lazar drove straight from Groom Lake to a television studio in Las Vegas and told all of Las Vegas that his job at Area 51 was to work on and replicate alien spacecraft taken from Roswell and other crashes around the U.S. Ed Walters was not really a witness to anything that goes on in Area 51, but nevertheless his story, as unbelieve as it is, is extraordinary. Ed Walters lived in Gulf Breeze, Florida, with his wife. One night, while standing outside, an alien craft hovered over and stopped just above him and his wife, and attempted to "beam them up", but failed. Afterward, there were many sightings around Florida, and Ed Walters sensed every single one of them. He'd gone out with his camera on many of these occasions, of which he would here a certain, eerie buzzing in his head, and he caught 40 photos of alien craft hovering over houses, backyards and such. Scientists and computer experts confirmed that the pictures were not faked, and most of them even told the most untrained eye how impossible it would be to fake them.
Facts and how they affect theory.
If you were to walk right up to the gates (let's say it's possible) of Area 51 and ask the "camo-dudes" (the name given to ex-SEALs assigned to guard the compound, it refers to their desert camoulflage) what goes on in Area 51, they will all tell you that they study and build advanced aircraft for the safety of America, and nothing more. In fact, Area 51 was the site where the Lockheed Skunkworks built and tested the U-2, so now everybody knows that they do study and build aircraft there, and the military hasn't exactly lied to us. Area 51 is also known for the development of the F-117, known for it's speed and it's stealth, the F-117 was crucial in WWII. So, we know they study aircraft, so why is it that fans still flip over the idea that they caught a picture of some unkown light doing neat little tricks in the air over Area 51? Even some of the best pictures of these so-called aliens were proven wrong by experts. And maybe the Government is telling the truth, but the thing is nobody wants to believe in the truth, it's as if we want the Government to be hiding somehing from us so we can complain in the end that the Government in America is incompetent. And that goes for many other conspiracies linked to the Government. That's why most civilians can't be trusted with valuable information, they wouldn't know what to do!
The dedicated individuals who spend a great amount of their days searching for the truth about Groom Lake should have their minds set to rest by the government, one way or the other. Whether we believe it or not, activities in and around Area 51 affects us all, if we are to help our future, then at least the right people should be informed so we can better America technologically. If they are covering up the development of a jet that flies at 400 miles an hour without a sound, then the right pilots should know about it. If they have plans to introduce alien technology into America, engineers should know so they can help speed up the process and know how to fix it. Maybe a public tour of Groom Lake would help ease our minds and we can let them work in peace.
