Thanks to television, movies, media coverage and a tourism campaign by the state of Nevada, the proving ground for the Stealth fighter, U-2 spy plane and other high-tech aircraft has become a tourist attraction.
Some believe the government is hiding a crashed Alien Spacecraft at Area 51 and trying to learn from the technology. That theory was popularized by the movie "Independence Day."
Ex- Gov. Bob Miller dedicated State Route 375, which runs by Area 51, as "The Extraterrestrial Highway." For the festivities, state Sen. Bob Price, D-North Las Vegas -- dressed as Darth Vader -- and Lt. Gov. Lonnie Hammargren packed a silvery alien peeking out from his briefcase.
On a more serious note, the Air Force sends a short message to anyone saying it denied Area 51's existence: "Training and testing activities take place at the Groom Dry Lake Bed."
In short, the remote desert site, shimmering like a mirage, has become the Air Force's worst-kept secret, Wilson said.
Wilson reports that the Air Force had to look for another site to develop ultra-high-performance military aircraft for the next millennium.
The new Utah sites also are connected to military activities.
The top-secret candidate is a site in eastern Utah dubbed Area 6413 by the Air Force, according to Wilson.
Another suitable launch location seems to be near the Air Force's Michael site just south of the Great Salt Lake. That's also protected by Dugway Proving Ground, the area where tons of U.S. nerve gases and other toxins are stored.
By moving to Utah, Wilson guesses, the Air Force is closer to its Space Warfare Center near Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Wilson discovered these prospective sites in a congressional briefing document and in a leaner military budget.
The Air Force Times has reported that flights of CT-43 transports, once ferrying workers between McCarran International Airport and Area 51, now fly to Utah.
The new Utah base has a famous resident already. Las Vegas millionaire Robert Bigelow, Wilson reports, has just purchased the 480-acre Sherman Ranch, the future site of the National Institute for Discovery Science . Its mission will be to conduct scientific studies of crop circles, cattle mutilations and other things that go bump in the night that people have reported for decades.
Wilson doesn't
think the lore and lure of Nevada's base will disappear when the Air Force
moves operations about 1999.
General mankind is far from being ready to handle and or comprehend some of the technology that has been developed over the last 100 years. To endow today's masses with such technology, regardless of origin, would be a lethal prescription for panic, chaos, & global destruction. By allowing the American public to know our Government's Military secrets, we would also be sharing this information with our enemies.
We must first learn how to care for each other and not continue our present day predatorial course before the common citizens are given such knowledge and power...
It's
funny that when most people hear, over-hear, see or read something unusual,
it gets chiseled right into stone, regardless
of the source. Not to mention the truth, validity, or accuracy of the event(s).
The worse part is the misinformation
spreads like a virus because it might contain partial truth(s) which makes
it seem even more credible
to the superficial researcher
and
naive fanatics of the fringe..."
Bob
worked on a saucer shaped vehicle and viewed several other craft,
each
of a different design.
Bob was informed by officials that the crafts are from an extraterrestrial origin.
Bob
brought unauthorized visitors to a remote location close to where
flying
saucer night flight testing occurs.
Bob
and visitors were eventually caught, interrogated and threaten by
military
officials in 1989.
Bob feared for his life and contacted reporter, George Knapp and told his story.
George thoroughly investigated everything Bob told him.
Bob's story checked out and George told the world.
Area-51 and the concept of alien technology became known worldwide.
Shortly
after the Lazar event, most, if not all alien materials have been moved
to
even more secure bases than S-4, Area-51, and Area-6413.
I know
Bob Lazar. He is a very competent man of physical science and
I
believe everything he said regarding this matter.
Presently,
there are dozens of so-called "experts" on Area-51 cashing in on the story.
In
reality, most, if not all of the "goods" have been moved from Area 51 and
S-4 a
long
time ago.
