So? I think we all know it exists... It's a military fascility in the US. The question is - what exactly is there? And is it really named Area 51 - or is that just a name some geeksstarted calling it?

Normally highly classified military objects are hidden on satellite maps that are accessible to public...
There's a military base 1km from my house, we all know it exists, but it's not displayed on a map....

There have been so many 'TV documentaries' on the subject...
Did you see "Did we land on the Moon - Conspiracy Theory" documentary by Fox?
They showed all of these fotage - claiming it was from a Russian spy satelite...

area 51 is known to be in the vicitinity of rachel nervada.

the surrounding countryside is not accessable by the public - including all the moutains around the base.

this is the fabled "area 51" even if i aint officially called area 51.

There's a cement works slap bang in the middle of a flight path from Heathrow airport that isn't on maps, it;s f**king huge, you can't miss it from a plane.

I still think it's a bit fascinating, the whole hype surrounding Area 51. They're obviously hiding something from the public, but if it's aliens or advanced weaponry, we don't know... And we want to know. Now.

But what would you be able to do about it if you knew? I mean, supposing the US military forces (or whoever runs this Area 51 thingy) were hiding aliens and performing all sorts of disgusting tests on them, there would be nothing to stop them, right? There's no legislation that would apply to something like that, so that would mean they'd be pretty much free to do what they like. Advanced weaponry would be another matter, obviously, but then you could always explain secrecy through the necessity of hiding their research from other countries so as not to lose their advantage...
And of course they might just be hiding a huge waste of money which hasn't even yielded any results over several decades. I'd say that's by far the most likely explanation.

I saw a documentary on Area 51 once, apparantly it doesn't officially exist so no laws apply there, because of this it's used as a dumping ground for nuclear waste. There were loads of ex-Area 51 employees (who wouldn't say what their job was) who were suffering from radiation poisoning.
