Informative Essay On Area 51

Late one summer night in July of 1947, a couple saw a large glowing object quickly fly across the sky. It was later reported that a weather balloon crashed nearby. People have often wondered if it actually was a weather balloon, and some have believed it to be a downed alien craft that the government covered up. Theories about a Roswell coverup did not become widely known to the American public until a few decades after the crash. This change in public knowledge demonstrates the variability of conspiracy theories--some become popular immediately following the events they try to explain, and some can take years to catch on. From the crash in Roswell in 1947 to current day, America’s public knowledge of theories about Roswell has grown at an unsteady pace, driven by the types of technology used to disseminate information. America’s knowledge of the Roswell incident has developed in three phases. First, immediately after the crash in 1947, there was some attention given to the crash, but it was mostly local news reports. Second, after the testimony in 1984 of an eyewitness who was a major in the air force, conspiracies blossomed. Finally, after interest diminished had begun to diminish, the internet ignited another increase in Roswell theories.

¨Sightings within 500 feet are subclassified as various types of ¨close encounters¨( Hynek 41.) There has been over 104,947 sightings in a decade. There was a sighting back in the 1600s when John Winthrop had unusual writing in his diary about a ¨great light in the nighttime sky”( Hynek 32.) In September 19, 1976 people in Tehran, Iran saw an unidentified flying object around twelve am. Systems started to fail when the unidentified flying object was twenty miles away. Most sightings have been reported in Roswell, New Mexico. In the year 1947, a balloon was seen crashing into the land of a nearby ranch near Roswell, New Mexico but theories say otherwise. Multiple accusations have been argued about it but, the real mystery, if it was just a United States Air Force balloon then why did they try to cover it up?

The alumni of area 51 are mechanics, pilots, and engineers who once worked and lived on the military base that they are saying has been a development and testing site for

Here, Korolev reverse engineered the A-4 and built his own version, the R-1 in 1948. While this was going on in the Soviet Union, the United States sent von Braun and his team to the United States Army’s White Sands Proving Ground in New Mexico in 1945. Here, they assembled captured V-2s and launched them. In 1950, they were moved to the Army’s Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama where the Army’s first operational medium-range ballistic missile, the Redstone Rocket, was developed. Because of the threat of the nuclear weapons and communism, the Cold War developed after World War II between the Soviet Union and the United States. This led to the expressed conflict through military coalitions, strategic conventional force deployments, extensive aid to the states deemed vulnerable, proxy wars, espionage, propaganda, a nuclear arms race, and economical and technological competitions, such as the Space Race.

The creation of Area 51 began in April of 1955, when a Lockheed test pilot, Tony LeVier, searched for a remote site to test the U-2. Grooms Lake is chosen as the location for the runway. By August of 1955, the U-2 makes its first flight from Grooms Lake. That was only the beginning for test flights from Area 51. In April 1962, the first A-12 Blackbird was tested at Groom Lake. February 1982, the F-117A Stealth fighter takes off for the first time. All other test flights have not been released to the public, but that doesn't mean they don't occur. However, they are, in no way, shape or form, alien test flights. Nearly all of the evidence that supports the alien spacecraft theory, is without backing, or solid information. Also, the US

secret prison system operated by the U.S. throughout the world was acknowledged by most sources

Many people believe this story is too outlandish to believe. This is the strategy that The Foreign Technology Desk decided to go for. Between the time of the Roswell crash and the beginning of The Foreign Technology Desk, the Air Force had branched off from the Army, taking artifacts with it. This added another layer to difficulty to keeping the story secret. At first, the military blew off the Roswell crash as a weather balloon and threatened majority of the eye witnesses. This had kept them quiet for a while but people eventually talk. The military decided to stop covering it up and would leak little bits of information to people who would make something out of it. Corso states, “This was called camouflage with limited exposure” (85). This was in order to make the talking witnesses to look like nut jobs. If they denied it like it was nothing, then the media thought it was nothing. Eventually tabloids would buy the stories and then the credibility was lost. This built an alien

When people see “Old Glory” flying, the experience should take their breath away. From the Omaha beaches in Normandy, where over three million soldiers stormed the German Nazis, to Iwo Jima, where

The government claims it was not alien aircraft or aliens and nothing of the sort was ever recovered. They have stated it was only a weather balloon. Alternatively, the evidence may exist but we, the public, are simply denied access to it by the big government on earth. But there are reasons why the government keep hiding and denying about the truth of their existence. The government is

To begin, Jerome Clark stated, “Area 51 is something infinitely stranger: a place where scientist, engineer, and technicians strive to unlock the secrets of extraterrestrial technology” (Clark 1). For example, Area 51 constructs and makes machinery and aircraft to be given to the United States government for use in the war (Brannan 1). Area 51 is a military base where they create different military weapons and gear that are mysterious and secretive to the world. Therefore, there is one person who declares that they have worked at Area 51 who is Robert Lazar. Robert Lazar worked at Area 51 in the 1988 as a physicist (Clark 28).

is an unofficial title that often refers to an area in southern Nevada containing United States Air force (USAF) Facilities.” (Cameron, 1). “To the U.S government, it’s simply the Nevada Test and Training Range, part of Edwards (formerly Nellis) Air Force Base (Radford, 1). Area 51 is a military base that was chosen as an isolated location to construct the U-2. The U-2 project was an aircraft developed to spy on the Soviet Union. The military needed a remote location to keep their activities away from the public. If the public found out the U-2 project would be on every news channel for the Soviet Union to find out. For the protection of the United States,

The CIA needed a place to secretly test a secret project, Project Aquatone They called it “Paradise Ranch” to appeal to people to get them to work there. The employees were told to keep their mouths shut and given code names. At meetings, people were not allowed to bring a paper and pen and nothing was written down. The pilots did not even talk to each other. Project Aquatone was the project that designed the U2 spy plane.

1. Terra Nova is currently at a turning point in the company’s timeline.  Until recently, the company has been successful and growing and a leader in its industry. The financial downturns the company is currently experiencing are due to the complacency that started in top management and, in order to fix this situation, there must be multiple changes made. There is a large social disconnect between the younger and more senior members of the firm. Although Terra Nova has a hierarchical structure based on skill and demonstrated results, in recent years the senior partners received more support from the company leaders and benefits while the junior professionals feel undervalued and unappreciated. Because of

     The Roswell incident is one of the most publicized and well-known accounts of a possible UFO crash in the world. Perhaps the greatest evidence that a UFO did indeed crash near Roswell, is the wide scale military cover up that took place after the crash. This along with numerous eyewitness accounts of the crash site, prove that what ever

Area 51 is one of the most heavily guarded places in the world (Connolly). People automatically assume that if the military base is kept a secret there must be something there that the government is trying to hide. Meanwhile, the actually reason for all the security is that the U.S. Government is trying to understand how the Soviet Union’s satellites are working against our own (David). This is not the only reason for the security. Area 51 is an airbase surrounded by an atomic testing preserve (Jacobsen).
