If its really just a testing facility for military aircraft why all the heavy security? I'm not saying they should allow the public to enter the base but it would be cool if they can let ppl at least drive up to see it.
What do you think is really in Area 51???
I have a great uncle who used to work there.
I didn't know him very well and I've not spoken to him for years.
I heard from my parents that he couldn't really say too much, but it was mainly just military intelligence and testing.
Which I guess could mean anything.
I imagine it's under such heavy security because they don't want any of their plans and ideas leaking out to anyone which makes sense.
It would be awesome if one day it came out that somethings otherworldly was involved in some way. But I guess we'll never know!
No aliens, all that is horse caca... its a base to test new planes and weapons.
I have always wondered, who cleans the toilets there and are they paid alot
It is an area for testing experimental aircraft new weapons and new ammunition. That's been public knowledge for decades.
