The Official History (That Took 60 Years to Tell)
1955: The Creation
Why It Was Created:
- Cold War at its peak
- US needed to spy on Soviet Union
- Required ultra-secret location to test spy planes
Location Choice:
- Middle of the desert (isolated)
- Runway already existed (from nuclear tests)
- Far from prying eyes
- Dry climate (good for flights)
1950s-60s: U-2 Project
First Big Secret:
- Development of U-2 spy plane
- Flew at 70,000 feet (record at the time)
- Cameras could read license plates from space
- Spied on Soviet Union
Problem: People saw the planes and thought they were UFOs!

Fastest Plane Ever Built:
- Speed: Mach 3+ (2,200 mph)
- Altitude: 85,000 feet
- Invisible to radar (primitive stealth technology)
- Still the fastest manned aircraft in the world
Fun Fact: It got so hot that pilots needed special suits!
2013: CIA Finally Admits
Declassified Documents Revealed:

Mysteries That STILL Haven't Been Explained
1. What Is "Aurora"?
Rumors:
- Secret hypersonic spy plane
- SR-71 successor
- Speed: Mach 5-6
- Can reach space
Evidence:
- Mysterious sonic booms
- Strange contrails
- Sightings of black triangular object
- Billions in "black" budget
Status: Government denies it, but...
2. Underground Facilities
Worker Reports:
- Multiple underground levels
- Some say there are 40 floors below ground
- Secret laboratories
- Tunnels connecting different areas
Evidence:
- Satellite images show suspicious entrances
- Massive ventilation
- Unexplained energy consumption
Question: What needs so much underground space?
3. S-4: The Base Within the Base
Claims:
- Even more secret facility
- 10 miles south of Area 51
- Hangars built inside mountains
- Where aliens are allegedly being studied (according to Bob Lazar)
Problem: No one has been able to prove it exists
The Alien Question 👽
Bob Lazar: The Man Who "Revealed Everything"
His Story (1989):
- Worked at Area 51 in 1988-89
- Saw 9 flying saucers
- Studied alien propulsion
- Government tried to erase his existence
Specific Claims:
- Ships use "Element 115" as fuel
- Space-warp technology
- Aliens from Zeta Reticuli
- Government has agreement with extraterrestrials
Problems with the Story:
- No physical evidence
- Degrees cannot be verified
- Questionable scientific details
- Changed story several times
But:
- Element 115 was synthesized in 2003 (he predicted it in 1989!)
- Knew internal details of the base
- Passed polygraph test
- Never profited much from the story
Verdict: Impossible to completely prove or disprove
Other "Whistleblowers"
🔹 Dan Burisch: Claimed to work with a living alien called "J-Rod"
🔹 Charles Hall: Said tall white aliens live at the base
🔹 Boyd Bushman: Lockheed engineer showed "alien photos" (they were toys)
Pattern: Many claims, zero solid evidence
What the Government Says About Aliens
Official Position:
- There are no aliens at Area 51
- There is no alien technology
- There is no contact with extraterrestrials
- Everything is human technology
But:
- Government lied about the base's existence for 60 years
- Has a history of deceiving the public
- Many documents still classified
Roswell Incident and Area 51
Connection:
- Alleged UFO crashed in Roswell, New Mexico (1947)
- Theory: Debris and bodies were taken to Area 51
- Government said it was a weather balloon
Truth Revealed in 1990:
- It was Project Mogul (secret spy balloon)
- Monitored Soviet nuclear tests
- "Bodies" were test dummies
But: Why did it take 43 years to reveal?
Technologies That SEEM Alien (But Aren't)
1. Stealth Aircraft
B-2 Spirit:
- Looks like a spaceship
- Invisible to radar
- Flying wing design
- Cost: $2 billion each
When Revealed: People swore it was alien technology!
2. Autonomous Drones
X-47B:
- Flies by itself
- Lands on aircraft carriers automatically
- Looks like a UFO
3. Electromagnetic Propulsion
Railguns:
- Fire projectiles at Mach 7
- No explosives
- Pure electromagnetic energy
- Seems like science fiction

Conclusion: Truth vs. Fiction
What We KNOW to Be True:
✅ Area 51 exists and is an ultra-secret military base
✅ Tests advanced aerospace technology
✅ Many "UFOs" were secret aircraft
✅ Government lied about its existence for decades
✅ There are still highly classified projects
What We DON'T Have Evidence For:
❌ Aliens or alien technology
❌ Captured spacecraft
❌ Contact with extraterrestrials
❌ Global conspiracy
The Likely Truth:
Area 51 is exactly what it appears to be: a military base where the US develops technology so advanced it seems alien. The secret isn't about ETs - it's about maintaining military advantage over adversaries.
But...
The fact that the government lied for 60 years about the base's existence makes you wonder: what else are they lying about?
What do you think? Are there aliens at Area 51? Or is it all advanced human technology? Share your theory!
