It's the centerpiece of virtually every modern UFO theory and a symbol for everything the government doesn't tell us.

About an hour's bus ride northwest of Las Vegas, Area 51 is one of the most famous military bases in the world, in part because the government barely acknowledges its existence.

Interesting read.

I've been there.. or as close as any civilian can get, anyway. There's really nothing to see - it's quite unspectacular. It was worth doing once, though. Eating lunch at the Little A'Le'Inn in Rachel was amusing, as there's a lot of interesting memorabilia there. Of course, you have to pick up "Area 51" souvenirs while you're there.

You can't get real tin foil any more. It's all aluminum and does nothing to stop them from reading your thoughts. It's all a .gov conspiracy.

Of course they are going to reveal things we already know about the Sr-71 has been around for decades. They won't be saying if they have something major they are still working on. Also, I think the your nuts if you believe in UFO's is outdated as it seems more and more people to believe and not just weirdo's. You have Military personnel, Pilots, Police officers, Political officials.

And it wasn't all that long ago that everyone thought that the world was flat...

The number of people that believe something has absolutely nothing to do with the validity of what they believe.

Well I think when Multiple Military personnel including a Colonel observe a UFO and say it was a UFO there is something to it. See these people have whats called creditability, atleast I think a Colonel in the Air Force just might know something about aircraft.
