Area 51, located in southern Nevada, has long been the subject of global debate and controversy.
Area 51 is a high-security US military base. According to satellite data, the base has its own airfield and many buildings, but all important developments and research are carried out by scientists exclusively in underground laboratories.
According to official statements, aircraft and the latest US weapons are being tested here. Innovations are kept in strict secrecy under the close supervision of the state.
Photos occasionally leaking from Area 51 into the world wide web excite the public and raise a lot of questions. Some people think that amazing pictures are fake. Others say that the photos were obtained by hackers and the CIA will do anything to convince people that they are fake.
Initially, the American government generally rejected the existence of this base, and only after images from Soviet spy satellites did the Pentagon reluctantly admit the guesses of other countries. With the advent of Area 51, flights over this territory became available only to the US Air Force. And third-party ground transport, even when approaching, the patrolmen ask to turn around forcibly.

In the area in which the secret base is located, there has always been an activity of unidentified flying objects. According to rumors, several UFOs were even shot down, but all official statements refute such information. The testimonies of the elderly military, who worked there for some time, suggest otherwise. It is also strange that accidents often happen with too talkative eyewitnesses …
Area 51 appeared in 1955, and already in 1958 the US authorities cordoned off around 38 thousand hectares of land. In 1984, the protected perimeter of the territory was doubled. What they really do and what they learn at this secret base remains a great mystery.
