Partagé en mode public -AREA 51, AMERICA'S OPEN SECRET AND A SOCIAL, CULTURAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL PHENOMENON.
There is really nothing so special about Area 51.....it simply came to be, out of necessity.
It seems so astounding just to think that since around 1988, Area 51 has transformed itself from an obscure research, development and testing facility at Groom Lake, Nevada, to the world's most well-known "secret base", bar none!!
In the mid to the late 1950s, the location so remote and unknown to the world was not even officially CLASSIFIED initially, according to military aviation historian, Peter Merlin. It was then just a CIA managed operating base.
The term Area 51 was not even officially used by the Air Force even later on (and even to this day, even though the government has begun to admit the name unofficially) because it was simply a designation initially created by the Atomic Energy Commission (present-day Department of Energy) to describe various parcels in the Nevada Test Site.
There is only one official name for the facility used by the U.S. government:
"An operating base near Groom Lake".
Notice that the government does not even state that the base is at Groom Lake. It only states that it is "near Groom Lake".
It seems that the government does not even officially use AFFTC-DET 3 as a designation for the area.
(Air Force Flight Test Center, Detachment 3), allegedly a managerial umbrella of Edwards Air Force Base in Southern California).
Moreoever, just recently, the AFFTC was renamed AFTC (Air Force Test Center).
A Security Manual for security personnel was printed in the mid 1980s.
At that time they did use the designation DET-3, alluding to the AFFTC).
It was around 1987 when rumors slowly began to emerge among some researchers that the base may have been test-flying a recovered spacecraft of extraterrestrial origin.
Then in 1988, Area 51 was mentioned by name briefly in a nationwide 2-hour FOX TV Special entitled: UFO Cover-up Live.
With the arrival of Bob Lazar in 1989, Area 51 became the "alien base" story.
The rest is history, as everyone knows.
(By the way, there is still no credible, documentary evidence whatsoever that there is an S-4 facility by Papoose Lake, 10 miles south of Area 51).
Then a strange rumor started in 1997 (that resulted from a misinformed article that appeared on POPULAR MECHANICS magazine) that Area 51 had closed its doors and had moved to Utah.
Contrary to that rumor, Area 51 had never moved its operations elsewhere.
And it seems to go hand in hand (probably in a working relationship) with the newly designated Nevada National Security Site (N2S2), the former Nevada Test Stie, Area 51's next door neighbor and a growing testing range for weapons systems, including some anti-terrorist weapons programs.
Today Area 51 is a sprawling complex that almost resembles a small city with so many structures that are easily visible even with just a decent set of binoculars from atop Tikaboo Peak, 26 miles away.
It is estimated that as of 2014, anywhere from 1800 to 2200 employees continue to work at the growing base in diverse, highly compartmentalized programs conducted by at least a dozen defense contractors.
Yes, this is the reality.
At the same time, Area 51 has solidly (and conveniently, for the government) entrenched itself in the sub-culture of America, i.e., a segment of the population's die-hard belief in UFOs and Aliens.
Thus, a covenient "laughter curtain" has been created to "muddy the waters" of what reality may ultimately be to some conspiracy-minded folks.
Some say that it has become a quasi religious belief to many folks in the UFO culture.
Yes, it has become a social, cultural and psychological phenomenon, far removed from reality (some say) but much needed for some folks who need something to believe in (i.e., "aliens" who are working with the government secretly in places like Area 51, will soon reveal themselves to us and help us solve all these human problems), especially in this uncertain age of economic, social, political crises.
To the mainstream, it may seem quite amazing that there are still some folks that actually believe that somehow the base is connected with Alien Technology!!
Of course, some may say that ultimately we do not know for sure, since there is no proof to support that belief nor is there proof that such a thing is not there.
