This show finds new vantage points to spy on the recent activity at Area
51, which in the past decade has acquired more public lands to increase
perimeter security, and built new towers, buildings and runways for the
continued development of top secret aircraft.
Area 51, also
officially known as Groom Lake or Homey Airport (ICAO: KXTA) is a remote
detachment of Edwards Air Force Base. According to the Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA), the correct names for the Area 51 facility
are the Nevada Test and Training Range and Groom Lake, though the name
Area 51 has been used in official CIA documentation. Other names used
for the facility include Dreamland, Paradise Ranch, Home Base, Watertown
Strip, and most recently Homey Airport. The area around the field is
referred to as (R-4808N).
It is located in the southern portion
of Nevada in the western United States, 83 miles (133 km)
north-northwest of Las Vegas. Situated at its center, on the southern
shore of Groom Lake, is a large military airfield. The base's current
primary purpose is officially undetermined; however, based on historical
evidence, it most likely supports development and testing of
experimental aircraft and weapons systems. The intense secrecy
surrounding the base has made it the frequent subject of conspiracy
theories and a central component to unidentified flying object (UFO)
folklore. Although the base has never been declared a secret base, all
research and occurrings in Area 51 are Top Secret/Sensitive
Compartmented Information (TS/SCI). In July 2013, following a FOIA
request filed in 2005, the Central Intelligence Agency publicly
acknowledged the existence of the base for the first time by
declassifying documents detailing the history and purpose of Area 51.
Its
secretive nature and undoubted connection to classified aircraft
research, together with reports of unusual phenomena, have led Area 51
to become a focus of modern UFO and conspiracy theories. Some of the
activities mentioned in such theories at Area 51 include:
The
storage, examination, and reverse engineering of crashed alien
spacecraft (including material supposedly recovered at Roswell), the
study of their occupants (living and dead), and the manufacture of
aircraft based on alien technology.
Meetings or joint undertakings with extraterrestrials.
The development of exotic energy weapons for the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) or other weapons programs.
The development of means of weather control.
The development of time travel and teleportation technology.
The development of unusual and exotic propulsion systems related to the Aurora Program.
Activities related to a supposed shadowy one world government or the Majestic 12 organization.
