GROOMS LAKE, NEVADA  - Area 51 has become the best- known  covert military operation in history. There is no debating that secret testing goes on there, the only question is what kind of secrets are known only to the men and women who work there. 

AREA 51 - Located deep in the Nevada desert Area 51 has become famous world wide seemly defeating it’s original purpose of being a top-secret military research base.
TEST SITE - Just miles away from Grooms Lake the Nevada Test Site now is the focus of scrutiny from UFO and Roswell Enthusiasts who are convinced that bodies of aliens that crashed in New Mexico were taken to the Base to be dissected. They are equally sure that pieces of the crashed spacecraft are still being studied at Area 51.
THE THEORY - The theory put forth is that technology that has been harvested from the alien ship has been introduced to the public a little at a time over the years since the Roswell crash in 1947. Part Urban Legend, part conspiracy theory, true believers think that after a UFO crashed in Roswell President Truman headed a cabal of scientists, military men, and politicians to address the question of what to do with the wreckage.  Over time this same council, that came to be called MJ-12, has dealt with other issues related to alien contact on Earth. This agency along with the Air Force has been accused of spreading disinformation, fake documents, and using harassment to stop the public from having knowledge related to UFO’s.
While the Nevada Testing Site is off limits to anyone except authorized personnel die-hard enthusiasts and UFO researchers have kept a close eye on the facility. Despite that Area 51 apparently has still remained in the business of research and development.  Supposedly the Stealth Bomber was one of the projects to come out of the Nevada Base.
