Area 51

[revcore]

There are many theories as to what may be hidden there or what alien activities may be going on there, But when all is said and done I doubt the public will ever know. There is even debate as to whether President Obama has clearence to enter Area 51.
I'm sure I'm not the only one here that is hugely interested in all things Area 51 related.
Has anyone here ever been to the boundary and witnessed first hand the immense security?

Too many theories, too many happy hippies. It's not anything like Independence Day. It's most likely just top secret military R&D facilities. No aliens, no autopsies, nothing that Hollywood dream up.

[Road_Warrior]

It's where they tested things like the F-117, B-2 Spirit and maybe the as-yet undisclosed helicopter they used during the Bin Laden raid.

Forget Area 51, I want to know whether Aurora actually existed.

I bet Harold Holt is in there living it up having cocaine and stripper parties with JFK, Tupac, Biggie and Elvis.

100% . One day within the next 10-20 years we will be told.

It's Groom Lake proving grounds...look it up on Google Earth. They test secret military planes and weapons systems there...which is why it's in the middle of the desert away from everyone, for both safety and to keep prying eyes away, though it's a real event for people to go out in big groups and park on nearby hills and try and spot something odd.

The stealth fighter and bomber were both tested there.

There is a book out the moment about Area 51. It has info on the CIA programmes on the U2 and Boxcart Programmes. Boxcart was the spy version of the USAF SR71 Blackbird. Even goes into some of the stuff ups in regards to the nuclear tests and also the nuclear rocket propulsion programme.

Why?
All the leading militaries develop their technologies in secret (as best they can.) Some make it into production and eventually into the public eye, but most “experimentals” don’t. There are many such aircraft (and weapons) that doubtless would have been the subject of much secrecy and speculation when they were under development, and are now simply part of history.

I don’t see why they would want to build a spy-plane shaped like a triangle, as I can’t really conceive of a purpose, but so what if they did? Given that our security is 100% reliant on the USA, I HOPE they do continue developing cutting edge military technology, and from an engineering perspective I am interested in the technology. Speculative visions of a triangle plane don’t really rock my boat, and I'm actually more worried about the other crap governments do in secret.

It would be cool if it was like it is on movies and conspiracy theories. But somehow I think it is just a Military base and testing area.

Maybe area 51 is a distraction from the real top secret area where the government is hiding alien corpses and spaceships

Not quite. Oxcart (no boxes) was the A-12 which led to the SR-71. The A-12 and SR-71 were both recon planes.

most of Australian hidden bases.

aliens exist, religion is a lie, money is debt, free energy exists & the media is what the new world order say it is.

I think area 51 is just for military testing purposes. The real stuff is somewhere else.

With North Korea threatening nuclear attacks on the US and it's allies, Pine Gap would be working overtime, So to would Area 51. It would be extremely interesting to know what sorts of intelligence that is being gathered by the US at the moment.

[Madaya]

Yeah, all of the above, but have you guys checked out the stuff at Area 52.

[Madaya]

Sorry guys, I don't mean to belittle the Area 51 mystery. I don't think Aliens as such are a presence (though a tiny grain of possibility exists, from what I've read), I just think A51 is a an area where the USA develop top secret weapons. Aurora may be one of them, but as always, the truth (which may emerge in 50 years time or so) will be stranger than fiction.
Though I applaud President Obama's initiative on decoding the human brain, it may have negative repercussions, things which are beyond the scope of this discussion.

Yep, Dugway Utah appears to be the new Area 51 these days. They are even claiming that alot of the projects from Area 51 have been moved to Dugway.

The fact that you have even posted questions about Area 51 could see you being taken away by men in black suits in black cars in the middle of the night.

Simply asking questions relating to Area 51 is by law safe, What isn't however is thouroughly investigating sensitive matters to the point where it entrenches on national security.

It was called YF12 as was tasked as an interceptor.

I have seen a couple of these up close and they are very evil looking.....

Aren't there forums for this kind of conversation with moderators who have a friend who has a brother who's babysitters uncle works there and are the authority on this stuff?

[Bundy]

Nooo.... Mulder and Scully were never wrong!!!!

[Charliewool]

Area 51 eh?
I reckon area 51 swallowed the thread about NK?
Where'd that disappear to?

That thread disappeared in the middle of the night. Rumour has it that it was taken away by men in black suits driving a black van....

If you imagine how big the universe is, now times that by millions, there is every possibility that another planet somewhere out there can and has supported life forms, maybe more advanced, maybe less. Maybe just tiny little microscopic things, but there is definitely something out there.

There's more truth in some conspiracy theories then in what gets drummed into our head every day.

I would love to see the day this world unites as one in the goal of achieving proper space exploration, not hell bent on turning a profit by any means necessary, AKA war.

Sadly this will never happen in my life time. If at all.

Or maybe i just watch too much star gate.

We thought about going to Area 51 when we were in Vegas, turned out to be too far away just to look at a fence and some random letter box.

Oh, North Korea wont do ****. The 'mericans want us to believe they will to gain support from other nations.
