Been reading up on this for History, It gets really interesting.</p>
<font color="#000000">Area 51 (also called Dreamland, McCartan's County, Paradise Ranch, Home Base, Watertown Strip, Groom Lake, The Box, Neverland, and other names) is a remote tract of land in the southwestern portion of Lincoln County in southern Nevada, located at the southern edge of a large dry salt flat called Groom Lake. It lies within the Nevada Test and Training Range and is owned by the United States Department of Defense and the United States Air Force. Area 51 contains an airfield whose primary purpose is believed to be the operation and analysis of enemy aircraft and weapons systems, and secret development and testing of new military aircraft. The airport code for Area 51 is XTA. Runway lengths are as follows: Runway 12-30 5420' x 120' concrete Runway 14-32 12000' x 200' concrete. Area 51 is the frequent subject of UFO conspiracy theories.</font></p>
<font color="#000000">Many things developed there including:</font></p>
<h3><span class="mw-headline">Blackbird programs</span></h3>
Even before U-2 development was complete, Lockheed began work on its successor, the CIA's OXCART project, a Mach-3 high altitude reconnaissance aircraft, a later variant of which became the famed USAF SR-71 Blackbird. The Blackbird's flight characteristics and maintenance requirements forced a massive expansion of facilities and runways at Groom Lake. By the time the first A-12 Blackbird prototype flew at Groom in 1962, the main runway had been lengthened to 8500 ft (2600 m), and the base boasted a complement of over 1000 personnel. It had fueling tanks, a control tower, and a baseball diamond. Security was greatly enhanced, the small civilian mine in the Groom basin was closed, and the area surrounding the valley was made an exclusive military preserve (where interlopers could be subject to "lethal force"). Groom saw the first flight of all major Blackbird variants: A-12, SR-71, its abortive YF-12 interceptor variant, and the D-21 Blackbird-based drone project.</p>

. Then the stuff about the Aliens gets weird. Apparently as you know there have been reports of Crashes at Area 51 and roswell. These are apparently deeper then i thought. Apparently they were both Alien Crafts and seeing as the Aliens were rescued by the Americans they are dealing everything through them.</p>
This Video freaks me out everytime lol.</p>
