According to foreign media reports, in the middle of the desert about 48 kilometers south of Rachel in Lincoln County, Nevada, there is a place that is considered one of the most mysterious places - Area 51. Area 51 is a secret base for U.S. military activity and is often described in folklore as a place where the U.S. government hides aliens and alien spacecraft for research.
Just two years ago, someone launched a joke-like campaign on social networking sites inviting people to rush into Area 51 and watch the aliens, and more than 2 million people replied to the event with comments.
The campaign was initiated by a 21-year-old man named Matty Roberts, who started the campaign just as a joke, but didn't expect it to attract so much attention afterwards. Soon, the FBI came to Robert's doorstep, but he looked around and explained that he was planning to launch a music festival.
After that, about 6,000 people showed up on the scheduled date of the event, which eventually became a spontaneous event, but those who arrived at the site did not choose to rush into the area.
Area 51 was established during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, and for many years there has been a lot of speculation about it, but do we really understand it?
The origins of this mysterious site can be traced back to the early 1950s, when American aircraft once flew over the Soviet Union to monitor and collect military information. But during the reconnaissance mission, the U.S. military found that their aircraft were in great danger of being identified and shot down by the Soviet military. To solve this problem, the United States began to develop a special reconnaissance aircraft called the Aquatone in 1954, which can fly very high and safely monitor. In order to ensure that the information about the project does not fall into the hands of enemy spies, the United States chose Area 51 to implement the project because no ordinary people and spies can enter the area. A secret army was formed, and the development of aircraft began.
The area got its name from Area 51 because it belonged to the Nevada Nuclear Test Site, which was divided into multiple zones. In the summer of 1955, many sightings of strange flying objects were reported in the area. Testing of the U-2, the U.S. Air Force's new aircraft, had already begun at the time, and the aircraft could fly at an altitude of more than 60,000 feet (about 18,200 meters), which looked very different and unrecognizable to ordinary airliners flying at an altitude of about 10,000 feet (3,048 meters) and ordinary military aircraft flying at an altitude of about 40,000 feet (about 12,200 meters). To pilots of ordinary and military aircraft, the U-2 looks like a tiny mysterious moving blob. The pilot reported the moving spot to headquarters, which is said to be the cause of the sighting of a UFO. While the U.S. Air Force did know that the sightings were actually their own aircraft, they were unable to tell the public. As time went on, everyone misunderstood this mystery more and more.
About 60 years after the establishment of the Area 51 military base, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) released a document containing maps of the area. The documents formally acknowledge that Area 51 is actually used by the U.S. Air Force, but they also say Area 51 is only used as a test site for surveillance programs such as the U-2 and OXCART.
However, due to the coverage of movies and TV shows and numerous conspiracy theories, there have been too many myths about Area 51. Although the use of Area 51 has been officially revealed, the discussion of the mysterious Area 51 has not stopped, so Area 51 is still an interesting and mysterious area for the public.
