AREA
Area 51 is an air force base in the Nevada Desert built in 1955 by the United States government.
They needed a remote place where they could test spy planes. Area 51 is heavily guarded. No one
is allowed to enter it without security clearance and people who visit are not allowed to take
pictures. Some of the other names for it are Paradise Ranch, Dreamland and Groom Lake. People
have told stories about strange events there for years. Some say there are mysterious bright lights
that many claim are alien UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects).

ROSWELL

It began in the summer of 1947, at the dawn of the Cold War, the U.S. Army Air Forces responded
to a UFO sighting in New Mexico and announced they’d recovered a “flying disc” from a ranch
near Roswell. More than 70 years later, many people think that they actually found aliens and
their spacecraft and took them to Area 51 to study. The base has been top secret ever since. The
incident remains a defining aspect of the area’s identity: The town boasts a UFO museum and
research center, a flying saucer-inspired McDonald’s, even an extraterrestrial “family” stranded
in a broken-down UFO on the side of State Route 285.

SECRECY

A crew of astronauts traveled into space to take photos of the Earth´s surface in 1974. They were
told not to photo Area 51, but accidentally took pictures of the base. The CIA (Central Intelligence
Agency) had the photos classified, meaning they were withheld from the knowledge of the
general public for reasons of national security.

UFOs?

A scientist, Bob Lazar, shocked the world in 1989 when he

claimed to have studied alien spaceships near Area 51. Most
people thought his story was a hoax. Some people believed him
and think it is home to crashed UFOs. Some even believe alien lived on the base. Believers say
scientists study the alien technology at Area 51 and use their research to develop new aircraft.
Skeptics say aliens do not have anything to do with Area 51, arguing that it is only kept secret to
protect military technology. Until 2013, the government did not even admit that Area 51 existed.

TESTING

Several aircraft were tested at Area 51.

U-2 Spy Plane: Could fly too high for enemies to attack it.

A-12: Could fly higher than other plane.

SR-71 Blackbird: Could fly up to 2.200 miles per hour

F-117 Nightawk: Could not be seen by enemy planes because of a special coating.

MQ-1 Predator: Could spy and attack with no pilot, crew, or windows.

TRUTH?

No one has found evidence that aliens or alien spacecraft are held at Area 51. The secrets hidden
within Area 51 may never be revealed.
