51 Zone Mysteries: A million Americans are ready to take a secret object by storm
Nothing excites idle curiosity like the unknown. One of the main secrets of the 20-21 centuries is the so-called "Zone 51", a secret US military base in Nevada. Thanks to Hollywood and many conspiracy theories, it is firmly associated in public consciousness with UFOs and aliens, supposedly secretly studied by the Pentagon. The interest in the mysterious object is so great that Facebook quickly found over a million people who wanted to storm it.
What is known about “Area 51” from open sources?
This is a unit of the Edwards military base, located in the Nevada desert, 133 kilometers from Las Vegas. Not far from it is the US Air Force base Nellis, the use of airspace over it is limited. The Pentagon for a long time denied the very fact of its existence, but committed a “cuming” in 2013.
It is stated that some experimental aircraft and some new types of weapons are being developed at a secret facility. For example, there is a version that it was in “Zone 51” that the SR-91 Aurora stealth reconnaissance was created and is based, which has hypersonic speed and an unusual triangular shape. True, the Americans are rebuffing, stating that they do not have such a suborbital strategic aircraft.
This, in fact, is practically all that is known and sounds more or less adequate. In the eighties, residents of the vicinity repeatedly saw some unusual flying objects that the UFO found over the base. A former Zone 51 employee, Robert Lazar, added fuel to the fire, claiming to have seen nine alien ships on it. This topic was straddled in Hollywood, showing in the film "Independence Day" a UFO and a captive alien.
All this gave rise to a lot of stories of varying degrees of reliability. Then a tall alien came up to one American boy right on the street, after which a strange implant was found in his lower leg. That couple was attacked by a UFO, and some indelible traces were found on their car, but the "humanoids" were short this time. Then the US Army sergeant, with the speaking name Moody, the aliens abducted and delivered to a flying saucer for conversation.
More dramatic cases are known. For example, the Australian Air Force pilot Frederick Valentich, in 1978, went missing with his plane after contact in the air with a certain object. He managed to convey only such words:
All this is quite difficult to unambiguously comment. From the point of view of common sense, all these incidents can be somehow explained, for example, by mental disorders, hallucinations, etc. But supporters of the conspiracy theory will have the right to say that all this is fraud and manipulation by the “people in black”, some government agents who hide the truth from the people.
As they say, until you check it yourself, you won’t know. So decided over a million Americans who agreed to gather in Nevada and go all together to "Zone 51", responding to the proposal of Jackson Barnes on Facebook. True, Barnes himself quickly regretted his idea. The US Air Force said it was ready to open fire on defeat against its own citizens, protecting the secrets of "Zone 51":
The organizer of the flash mob said that he was not going to participate in the action. Probably without the "people in black" could not do. Well, or people from another department conducted explanatory work with him.

We do not recommend anyone try to get into the area where we train the American aircraft.
