Why Does Area 51 Exist

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.

The United States government hides aliens from the citizens. They hid area for as long as they possibly could and still refuse to allow us any insight as to what is within. They claim sightings are military testing’s or that what some saw was never there. Looking at our technological advancements over the past few decades how could this be possible.

Area 51 and the Roswell crash have been at the center of UFO watchers and conspiracy theorists for decades, and for obvious reasons. Roswell sparked a flame that doesn’t seem to go out, it all started as an unknown object crashed near a town in the middle of nowhere. Roswell is a small town in New Mexico, “about 75 miles from the town of Roswell, New Mexico, a rancher named Mac Brazel” found a crashed object and claimed it looked

Any discussion on this conspiracy, however, will not be complete without talking what went and goes on in Roswell, New Mexico, or better known as Area 51. Area 51 is known to be a US Military Base where 75 miles away, there reported to be a UFO crash landing on July 2, 1947 that left an exceptional amount of debris all over the area. The Roswell Army Air Field reported that they recovered a “flying disc” but a few hours after this information was released, the government immediately said it was a “weather balloon.” RAAF even reported having recovered alien bodies but as expected, the government denied again and simply stated that it was the military men’s trauma from accidents. Countless witnesses during and after the reported crash date have confirmed seeing flying objects, crop circles and usual activity within the area. Area 51 is now conspired to be a place where they examine evidences of alien bodies, UFO crashes, etc, but the government refuses to confirm and have denied these allegations. More than sightings, as promised, let me take you in on one of the craziest abduction stories.

Nevertheless there have been many discussions of government cover ups. Scientists and astronomers are not officially agreeing with what is explained as evidence provided by the supporters of life forms other than mankind visiting or inhabiting Earth. In the current era Area 51 (Cited from Wikipedia Area 51 is owned by the federal government and was established by the CIA in 1955 to develop classified military projects.) has been the focus of movies and alleged news reports of alien abductions, aliens and alien aircraft sightings. My mind questions

“No child had such an oversized balloon shaped head. It didn’t even look human, although it had human like features” (18). This is a description of an extraterrestrial from the Roswell incident in the book The Day After Roswell written by Col. Philip J. Corso (Ret.) with WIlliam J. Birnes. This book is quite the interesting read to say the least. Extraterrestrials, flying saucers, and “foreign technology” are some of the complications in Corso’s autobiography during his time in military intelligence working at The Pentagon. Corso describes everything between the events of a flying saucer crash that occurred in Roswell, NM. on July 4, 1947 to the modern day technology that the United States has managed to reverse engineer due to the crash.

Many tactics are used to keep the general public incapable from approaching the facility and learning about what in fact occurs inside. Area 51 has been a topic of interest and fascination among many people for years; however, it’s existence has only recently been acknowledged by the American government. Since the origination, the government has refused to admit the presence of an area named Area 51 and an Air Force Attorney once told a judge in a 1995 case that “there is no operating location near Groom Lake” (CNN). The reason for the hearing was because Area 51 workers had claimed to be poisoned due to being exposed to toxic chemicals and other classified materials. Some workers even died after developing unusual respiratory problems and rashes. One problem which occurred during the hearing is that none of the men were able to declassify what they did inside of Area 51 because they signed a security oath which barred any disclosures about the facility and left the judge with not a sufficient amount of evidence to proceed the case. The case was dismissed and in 1992, an official history of the U-2 spacecraft program was published and released by the CIA. In 2002, Jeffrey Richelson reviewed the CIA’s copy of the program and he “filed a new Freedom of Information Act request and the documents arrived July 2013, this time with fewer redactions. Therein, the first-ever reference to Area 51” (CNN). The governments blatant lie about the nonexistent facility sparked annoyance among many individuals and has given rise to many conspiracy theorists. A major shift in the public’s opinion on Area 51 occurred when Robert Lazar freely spoke to the media about what occurred inside while he was an employee at the facility. His allegation of the government

In the summer of 1947, a rancher in Roswell, New Mexico, by the name of Mac Brazel, discovered unusual occurrences and objects on his property. Some of the things he discovered seemed strange to him because they appeared on his land and he was extremely familiar with every square foot of that land and knew the strange objects didn’t belong to him. What he found included metals, plastics, and foil reflectors, which were held together by tape forming some sort of apparatus. Not knowing what to do, he gathered up the objects and contacted the Roswell Sheriff’s Department. The Sheriff didn’t know what to do with the material either, so he contacted the local U.S. Air Force base in hopes that they could get to the bottom of these unusual disturbances on the Brazel Ranch. This occurrence is known as the “Roswell Incident” and to this day, there are still many unanswered questions about what really went on.

For more than 60 years, the debate between reality and conspiracy has raged on with the concept of aliens in the center(History.com Staff). In Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 what is believed by conspiracy theorists to be a flying saucer was found in a rancher’s sheep pasture. The idea that exterrestrial life could possibly exist may seem out of this world to some. But, to an entire town of people, the idea is not as far fetched.

The truth covered in lies in Roswell, is a topic that has been talked about since 1947 that doesn’t seem ti end for a long time. Was the event that occurred in New Mexico really a UFO? Did the government covered up the story and say it was a weather balloon? What is The Project Mogul about? Were the real aliens covered by “Dummy Drops”? These are questions that have been asked along with others, and the people have been answering in their own ways, based on their theories and reasons, but what experts think is that the government covered up the story, and “why?” is a good question.

Just four days after this incident the Roswell Army Air Force made reports on the capturing of a “flying saucer”. Just one day later

For decades area 51, a base located in an isolated desert in Nevada, has been of the governments biggest kept secrets to date, but why? Aliens? Area 51 does not have aliens within its facility because of documented records, and false information.

The Central Intelligence Agency, hereafter referred to as the CIA, is one of the most well-known and fascinating intelligence agencies throughout the world. For the most part, when the CIA comes up in the news, it is to report that the agency failed in doing something. This paper will analyze different successes and failures of well-known operations of the CIA. The successes that will be analyzed are Operation Argo and the killing of Osama Bin Ladin. Operation Argo has recently become well known due to a movie being released about the operation. The killing of Osama Bin Ladin is probably the most popular case that the CIA had completed due to its significance in a time when the United States was quite vulnerable. This paper will review these two successes of the agency and analyze how these missions were successful and why. The two failures that will be discussed are the attacks on September 11, 2001 and the Bay of Pigs Invasion. The attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001 are crucial to the American people and to the Intelligence Community. It is important to analyze these attacks in order to figure out what, if anything, could have been done differently that may have prevented these attacks from occurring. The Bay of Pigs Invasion is an infamous failure of the United States as well as the CIA in which many mistakes were made. The CIA plays an essential role in the safety of the United States and its people. Due to its high importance, it is crucial to

Herbert Miller opened the doors of Area 51 in 1995 as a base for U.S military projects. “The

People have wondered for many of years, what actually happens in Area 51? Well the government has declassified some papers and allowed the former workers to share some of their experiences. A document that has been declassified means that everyone can view the information. A classified document is a document that is not able to be seen by everyone. A person is only allowed to see a classified document if they have the right clearence level.
