Area 51. It's a research center, but for what?

[Sir Ollie]

It's where Krafts food is moving the Cadburys factory.

Those Bastards...

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

Obviously there's a warehouse containing the Arc of the Covenant and dead aliens...

Seriously though, I 100% don't think that there are aliens there. As for the funky light movements and stuff, the people who saw them probably just embelished their stories...

I do love the alien episodes of the X-Files though... why the hell did they ever make stuff NOT about alien conspiracies in that series

Or they were just high. You Americans and your not so secret research facilities... Oh and X-Files is win.

At the end of Tesla's life, he claimed to be working on a "death ray", which could burn enemy planes out of the sky. The government seized all his work when he died, and tried implementing the "death ray" at Area 51. It worked by using a wave which excited ozone molecules in the air to the point where they combusted. The problem was it only worked reliably in the stratosphere, where ozone is most concentrated, so it was only effective against high-altitude targets. Also, while it did produce an impressive fireball about 10 feet across, tests on dummy aircraft reported a temperature increase of a few degrees, only enough to make a pilot sweat. So the air force had a fancy searchlight. Why all the secrecy then?

Because those plasma globes showed up on radar. They could overwhelm radar-aimed ground defenses with hundreds of false signatures. Ever wonder why the US has always enjoyed air supremacy? Or why the air war in the Gulf War was over so quick? But it only works if nobody knows about it. The supposed prototype was housed in a 400 foot trench that's covered by a tarp during the day. This would also explain how UFOs in the area pull off maneuvers that are impossible for aircraft; they're just projections, basically.

While this is a nice theory/explanation, I'm taking it with a pinch of salt knowing that the difference of results between what Tesla thought would happen(Tunguska event coming to mind) and what you just wrote.

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

It's probably a giant arcade for the military.

 

[Dexiro]

Well there's definatly something cool happening there or else they wouldn't be shooting people for going within miles of it.

Or there's a good chance that it's a decoy for a more secretive facility.

 

[mrF00bar]

Area 51 is where they make butter. nothing special.

You are probably right.

 

[Skooterz]

If it's an actual place, then I bet it's a "decoy" to another facility that is doing less then legal tests, but I highly doubt it.

Oh, Area 51 exists. The only question is what they're doing. I think they're just an experimental aircraft facility, personally.

 

[Stoic raptor]

They are trying to make wormhole n there. To reach the far spaces of the universe. Then we could find some aliens

 

[JEBWrench]

It's actually where McDonald's researches new products.

It's clearly for [DATA EXPUNGED]

Man, how awesome would it be to have [DATA EXPUNGED]?

Expunged. That word sounds so dirty. And thus, needs to be used more into popular jargon.

 

[Arachon]

It's a test facility for experminental aircraft... nothing more, no aliens, no UFOs, no "death-rays", no yoghurt, they've tested both the F-117 and the SR-71 Blackbird there.

I just wonder, where is Area 1-50 located?

 

[TheRundownRabbit]

Well, most people think that Area 51 is a place were they keep....."other-worldly things" there, but in truth Area 51 is flight experimentation, when the government or military wants to build a new jet or other aerial vehicle but dont want the enemy to find out about it, they hand it over to 51.

What you said is basically what I said in the post under yours......hooray for thinking alike

And Area 51 is locate out in New Mexico or Arizona

 

[one of them]

I say that's where we test and research stuff that we don't want other countries and world powers to know about. Every country probably has a place where they experiment with new technology that might someday be a usable technology, and I doubt they plan to openly share that with the public. Some things are kept secret because it NEEDS to be kept secret for everyone's own good, that doesn't necessarily mean it's all Super Alien Technology from the Future.

 

[cuddly_tomato]

"Grey" space aliens like this one.

He recently went back home apparently, hence the cover story.

 

[Gilhelmi]

I think it's some sort of military testing zone. I forgot when but a bunch of employee's came out and started to sue the government for unsafe working conditions (they all suffered chemical burns).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_51#Environmental_lawsuit
In my opinion, they only classify the place so the government can not be sued for the criminal lack of job safety.

They are building tomorrows technology there.

 

[p3t3r]

area 51 is a real place look it up on google maps though a fair bit is edited out

It's not edited on Google Earth.

are you sure it is kind of subtle but the big white area is covered with google 2007. thats might just before maps though

 

[JupiterBase]

The research probably happens in tiers at hundreds or thousands of smaller military and civilian faciliies. In example they may be researching different things and trying to solve different problems in 20 different Tier 10 facilities. as research becomes more hazardous and more important to an overall goal the research is moved to higher security larger facility, until it reaches a high security military installation in the middle of nowhere away from population centers.

 

[Arachon]

Come to think of it, the notion that Aliens should have visited us is nothing short of absurd, do you have any idea of how big the universe is?

are you sure it is kind of subtle but the big white area is covered with google 2007. thats might just before maps though

I believe that big white area is a dried up lake.

 

[reg42]

It's possible that it's aliens; I mean we can't be the only living beings in the galaxy. But what I think is more likely is that it's research for things which are morally questionable, like viral warfare.
