Area 51

Area 51 is protected by radar stations, buried movement sensors and armed guards

Area 51 is a remote peace of land in Nevada, USA. It is owned by the US Government and is apparently used for the testing of secret technology and new military aircraft.

Some people believe that the airfield on the surface is just the tip of the iceberg and that underneath the desert is a huge bunker housing a secret testing facility. Allegedly, it’s here that crashed UFOs and their occupants, such as the famous Roswell aliens, are taken for examination.

The US Government neither acknowledges nor denies the existence of Area 51. But it is heavily guarded and unwelcome visitors are met by armed guards and helicopters.

Even though it doesn’t appear on any US Government maps many believe in its existence, and it has been featured on the X-Files, Independence Day and even The Simpsons.
