For the first time, the CIA administration officially confirmed the existence of a secret facility called Area 51 in the US state of Nevada. Information about her became available after the CIA declassified documents on the creation of an American U-2 reconnaissance aircraft.
The site in the Nevada Desert was reportedly turned into a proving ground in 1955 by order of then-US chief Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Associated Press reported.
Note that Area 51 has long been the subject of controversy and various conspiracy theories. Among other things, local residents believed that the UFO spaceport was located in this place in the Nevada desert. However, there is no mention of UFOs in the declassified CIA archives.
Recall that on Friday, August 16, Reuters, citing sources in the United States familiar with the investigation of the incident, published data that the fugitive ex-CIA officer Edward Snowden began collecting classified data even before he got a job at Booz Allen Hamilton is a CIA and NSA contractor.
