Everyone has heard the theory of aliens located at the world famous base known as Area 51. Although that is an amazing theory not backed up with impossible to get evidence, what is the actual purpose of the most famous black site in the world?

Area 51 is a plot of land owned by the United States Government located about 100 miles north of Las Vegas, Nevada and 25 mile south of Rachel, Nevada. It sits on 90,000 acres of land but occupies only a small part of that land. The site was used to test aircraft the Air Force had developed in the 1950s and 60s. This area is highly secret with its own employees needing top secret clearance and an invitation from a very high ranking intelligence officer in the United States Air Force.

Area 51 was kept a secret for over half a century. The SkyLab took pictures of the deserted area of Nevada and analyzed that there was building there. The CIA quickly covered this up. The CIA would also delete satellite images of the site used for Google Earth and maps of that nature. It wasn’t until 2000 when a Russian probe took pictures of the site which were attained by the Federation of American Scientists. This brought a calling to congress and in August of 2013 the CIA released a document stating that the site was real and even included a map of the site itself.

Area 51 is still used today but no one knows what it is actually used for. A huge conspiracy is that the site holds captured and downed UFOs from an alien source. Others believe it is still used for its original purpose of testing aircraft. The secret is out there, just left undiscovered.
