Ever since I was a child I was fond of reading articles relating to Area 51.
Area 51 is also known as Groom Lake, is a secret military facility. 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.
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. 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.
BTW, 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.
Hope this helps!
Cheers!

Yes there is a place called 'area 51'
i don't know about the extra terrestrials part though,
however, it is home to a military base, i was going to say 'secret' military base, but everyone seems to know about it anyway, so it's not much of a secret.
But it is a facility, the workings of which are kept top secret.
that's why there's all this fascination about it.
