There is a 575 square mile piece of land in Southern Nevada that has many names: The Box, Paradise Ranch, Groom Lake, Watertown Strip, and Dreamland. But most people refer to this mysterious area as Area 51. The skies over Dreamland have been home to many UFOs since the late 1950s. Locals here know that strange lights and other unexplained phenomena are seen on a daily basis.
In 1989, Las Vegas resident Bob Lazar wowed audiences across the country with his revelations about the weirdness of Area 51. He claimed to have amazing inside information about the barren terrain 90 miles north of Las Vegas. Known as Area 51, the outpost is one of the most mysterious places on Earth, until recently the US government even denied its existence.
Lazar is not the first to claim that something unusual is happening at Area 51. Rumors of UFO sightings in the Nevada desert have been circulating for years.
For those who defended Lazar, his report on the UFO test explained the extreme security at the military base. Those who ignore his revelations argue that there is a more plausible reason why the government has kept Area 51’s activities a secret from the public, arguing that the base possesses cutting-edge military aviation technology.
The frequent sightings of these advanced aircraft may be the source of UFO sightings, and experts claim that the government may have perpetuated these theories to cover up their real activity.
