The Truth About Area 51: Secret Government Research and Controversial Theories
TLDR Area 51, located in Nevada, is a site of secret government research rather than a hub for alien technology or a one-world government. It has been involved in the development of super secret projects like the U-2 spy plane and Project Oxcart, and has been the subject of controversial theories and lawsuits regarding hazardous waste and worker health.
Timestamped Summary
00:00
Area 51 is located in Nevada and is likely involved in secret government research, rather than reverse engineering alien technology or being the secret seat of the One World Government.
05:09
Area 51 was originally used as a bombing range, but later became the location for the development of the U-2 spy plane by the legendary Skunk Works team.
09:57
Area 51 was chosen by the CIA and the Skunk Works team as the perfect location for developing a super secret spy plane due to its remote location, natural barriers, restricted airspace, and the cover story of cleaning up unexploded munitions from its previous use as a bombing range.
14:38
The U2 spy plane being shot down by the Soviets in 1960 was a turning point that led to the development of even more secretive projects, such as Project Oxcart, and marked the beginning of an era of increased military spending on secret projects with little oversight.
19:27
The development of super secret projects like Project Oxcart and the SR-71 Blackbird required a significant amount of money and cutting-edge technology, leading to increased military spending and the establishment of Area 51 as a permanent facility.
24:45
The association between aliens and Area 51 began in 1989 when Bob Lazar, an engineer, gave an interview claiming to have worked on reverse engineering alien spacecraft and technology at the facility.
30:01
Bob Lazar, an engineer, claimed to have worked on reverse engineering alien spacecraft and technology at Area 51, describing anti-gravity technology and the possibility of light speed aircraft propelled by anti-matter engines, although his credibility has been questioned due to lack of records and his disappearance from the public eye.
34:50
Area 51 and the Roswell crash are not connected, as Area 51 was not even on the CIA's radar in 1947 and the idea of an alien crash there didn't come about until the 1980s, and they are also 800 miles apart.
40:22
Area 51 is rumored to be the location of an underground seat of a one-world government, and there is a kooky theory that Hitler and Stalin collaborated to distract the US with a fake alien invasion during World War II.
45:23
Area 51 has civilian workers with high security clearances who fly in on 737 passenger jets called the Janet Jets, and a lawsuit in the mid-1990s revealed that the government was dumping hazardous waste and burning it in trenches, causing workers to get sick and die, but the government refused to disclose what they were exposed to due to the mosaic theory.
50:12
The government dumped hazardous waste in trenches at Area 51, which was then set on fire every two weeks, exposing workers to classified materials and causing illness and death.
