The infamous Area 51 site has been a source of speculation amongst the public for decades.

Ever since Bob Lazar – an alleged physicist who claims to have worked at the S-4 facility which is part of Area 51 – came forward with information in May of 1989, things have never been the same since.

His initial interview about his claims in regard to Area 51 were through an interview with renowned journalist and investigative report George Knapp and was broadcasted on KLAPP, a Las Vegas news reporting channel.

Ever since the 1950s, people have been reporting seeing unidentified flying objects above the Southern part of Nevada.

On June 17, 1959, the Reno Evening Gazette even published a story with the headline “More Flying Objects seen in Clarke City”. In it was described how Sgt Wayne Anders of the local sheriff department was one among several other locals who had described to have seen a bright green light color descending to the Earth at a speed much greater than that of any plane.

According th the CIA, secretive flight testing has been happening in the area since the military began testing U-2 CIA spy planes in the year 1955. Around that time is when people started reporting seeing UFOs in the flight test area.

With all of the buzz around Area 51 lately, the infamous Facebook event “Storm Area 51, They Can’t  Stop All of Us, Bob Lazar’s interview with Joe Rogan on the Joe Rogan Experiment, Joe’s YouTube podcast, and Lazar’s new Netflix documentary “Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers”, as directed by Jeremy Corbell, more and more people are curious to know what has been going down at the infamous Area 51 site.

With that being said, we thought it would be a great idea to list all of the facts that have been gathered in regard to area 51 over the past few decades.

1. Area 51 is officially named the Nevada Test and Training Range of Groom Lake.
2. It is a high security training range for U.S. Air Force located in southern Nevada.
3. The base has always been approached as a secretive base.
4. Area 51 is an official acknowledged base by the US Government: Up until 2013, the US Government had always denied the existence of the base. Many speculated that the reasoning behind it was so that there was deniability when it came to claims that there was in fact a base where experiments on extraterrestrial technology would be done. Simply denying the existence would shut down the argument.
5. The request to officially acknowledge the existence of Area 51 forced the CIA to declassify documents on the history of the U-2 and A-12 OXCART program.
6. Bob Lazar: Bob Lazar, the scientist who claimed to have worked at Area 51 is in fact more credible than many perceive. At some point through out history, agencies tried to delete his history by retracting his University degree at MIT and his work history at Los Alamos. At some point George Knapp – investigative report – started looking into the credibility of Bob Lazar and if he was speaking the truth. George came to the conclusion that Bob Lazar’s claim that he had worked at Los Alamos in New Mexico for a while seemed in correct as Knapp had contacted Los Alamos but was met with the fact that there were no records of Bob every working at Los Alamos. However, a local news paper featuring Bob at the time he worked at Los Alamos mentioned in the article that in fact he did work at Los Alamos, as well did an old phone book directory of Los Alamos itself, therefore disputing the claim made by the agency trying to erase Bob’s history. This act itself raises all of Bob’s other claims to a new level of credibility.
7. There have been a bunch of other scientists and people involved in extraterrestrial agency projects that have come forward talking about their perspective. It is important to know that these people have all been discredited and labeled as conspiracy theorists. A little bit of background information in regard to the term “conspiracy theory”. The term was created by a US agency many years ago to immediately discredit and install doubt in people’s minds when it came to unexplainable events that would be witnessed. Psychology behavior specialists have come forward over the year, analyzing and explaining the fact that many interviews that have been done by people coming forward with claims, were in fact telling the truth from a behavioral and psychology standpoint.

As of right now, these are close to the only thing that we really know about Area 51. There may be more out there, and if there is, you’ll all be the first to know.

Stay tuned for an update as the Storm of the century will take place on September 20th at the Nevada testing site and will most likely have us cover the raid itself on the day of.
