The American government didn’t even publicly acknowledge its existence until recently. This makes the whole area even more mysterious. Many people believe that the government has hidden evidence of alien visitors. However, no one knows for sure what is going on in Area 51. With today’s list of the 25 Most Bizarre Area 51 Stories and Facts we will try to enlighten you about one of America’s most secretive locations. Like Fox Mulder from the X-Files would say, the truth is out there. In reality, the facility we all know as Area 51 is officially called Homey Airport (KXTA) or Groom Lake, named after the salt flat situated next to its airfield. Another theory suggests that 51 was used because it was unlikely that the AEC would use the number. Regardless, the CIA has claimed before that the name Area 51 comes from its map designation. It was also previously known as “Paradise Ranch” … probably to make the facility sound more attractive to those who would be working there. The US military claimed that the unidentified crashing object was just a weather balloon. Conspiracy theorists weren’t convinced, though. They suggested that it was an alien spacecraft that was then taken from the Roswell ranch property to Area 51 for further examination and experimentation. Conspiracy theories gained support in the late 1980s when a man alleging to have worked at the installation claimed that the government was examining recovered alien spacecraft. What we learned from these images is that the base has runways up to 12,000 feet long. Rachel is an unincorporated portion of Lincoln County in Nevada. The tiny town is the closest habitation to Area 51. It will occasionally organize live music events for the dedicated “Area 51” visitors who may spend a night or two there. Many visitors have claimed to see UFOs and other alien activity along this road. Such claims led the state to officially designate the route as the Extraterrestrial Highway in 1996. Once the war began, the military took over the remote area and began conducting research, mainly nuclear and weapons testing. Or if you want to get even more imaginative: for the development of time travel and teleportation technology. The committee apparently consists of politicians, military leaders, and decorated scientists. And you probably guessed that all the activities related to this spooky organization took place in Area 51. The notorious facility is next to two other restricted military areas: the Nevada Test Site, where US nuclear weapons were tested from the 1950s to the 1990s, and the Nevada Test and Training Range. “What’s really going on in Area 51? When I wanted to know, I’d call Shirley MacLaine,” Obama jokingly said. He added, “I think I just became the first president to ever publicly mention Area 51. How’s that, Shirley?” According to the seven-chapter history, Area 51 was used as an aerial testing ground for US government projects. The released documents specifically refer to the U-2 and Oxcart aerial surveillance programs. This was one of the very first UFO sightings near Area 51, reported from the mouths of two decorated American pilots and not some crazy conspiracy theorist. How does he know that? He claimed to see them often visiting the area in order to travel with CIA agents to Las Vegas casinos for entertainment. It’s located 12 miles from Area 51 and has become a hot spot for UFO enthusiasts who frequently visit it to send their questions and other messages to aliens. Yep, Bob Lazar is one of those people who fuel the Area 51 stories and make it the legendary location it is today. Well, to be 100% accurate, the officials didn’t admit that those flying objects are of extraterrestrial origin, but they didn’t deny it either. One way or another, his claims seem to be more credible than ever before now, as his description of one of the alien UFOs apparently matched one of the three whose presence was confirmed by the navy. Furthermore, the fact that it sits in a gigantic barren desert in the middle of nowhere means that a fence isn’t all that necessary to protect Area 51 from invaders or thrill-seekers. Inspired by the interview, Roberts created a Facebook meeting called “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us.” According to the plan, people would meet in Rachel in the early morning of September 20 and swarm the defenses in order to find out if the government is indeed hiding aliens there. Even though more than 2 million people responded “going” and 1.5 million “interested” on the event’s page, only 6,000 of them actually made it out. What’s worse is that they weren’t exactly welcomed by Rachel’s 54 residents, who mostly wanted to be left alone. What’s this place exactly? A legal brothel which includes rooms for sex, living spaces for prostitutes, and a convenience store that sells alien merchandise. There’s a fetish for everyone, and at the Alien Cathouse Brothel, prostitutes probably know that better than anyone on this planet … or in this solar system.
