Is their a cover up going on in area 51 ?

did aliens land their ?



Area 51, also known as Groom Lake, is a secret military facility about 90 miles north of Las Vegas. The number refers to a 6-by-10-mile block of land, at the center of which is a large air base the government will not discuss. The site was selected in the mid-1950s for testing of the U-2 spyplane, due to its remoteness, proximity to existing facilities and presence of a dry lake bed for landings.

Several high-tech super-secret planes were developed and tested here, including the U-2, SR-71 Blackbird and the F-117 Stealth Fighter . More recent projects include the rumored high speed high altitude "Aurora", various unmanned planes (UAVs) and a new stealth plane to replace the F-117.

Groom Lake is America's traditional testing ground for "black budget" aircraft before they are publicly acknowledged. The facility and surrounding areas are also associated -- with varying levels of credibility with UFO and conspiracy stories. In 1989, Bob Lazar claimed on a Las Vegas television station that he had worked with alien spacecraft at Papoose Lake, south of Area 51. Since then, "Area 51" has become a popular symbol for the alleged U.S. Government UFO cover-up

Yes Uppy, there is a cover up in that sector. Thing is, though, is that it has nothing to do with aliens from outer space. It is a testing area for skunkwork projects and I suspect the lore of aliens there wasn't challenged because think of it, what could be a better explanation for the craft being experimented with down there. Plus if you are convinced its an alien craft then you won't think we built it. That and UFOs are great cover for things you don't want foes like the Russians or Chinese looking into.
