Area 51.. the very notion of the secret base provokes images of space aliens, flying saucers, and elaborate government tests.
Of course, no one in the government admits that the base even exists!
Sure, there were some strange calls to Art Bell back during the final years of the 20th century.. and yes, some thought the Roswell alien bodies were taken there for tests.. But it was not until now that newly released CIA documents actually admit the base even is real!
The documents include a map of the secret base.. Of course what is lacking in the documents are mentions or hints that aliens are present..
How did the world finally become privy to this secret?
CNN reports this:
The map and other documents were released in response to a Freedom of Information Act request submitted by a, a senior fellow at the National Security Archives, in 2005.
The other part of the documents released actually lift a shroud of secrecy from the once secret U2 program and the Cold War.. that part is probably more intriguing than the Area 51 acknowledgement, since that part relinquished few secrets about anything alien..
But really.. was Area 51 a secret until now?
Google Maps shows it.. we had admissions from so many that it exists.. I suppose seeing it on paper, from the most secret alphabet agencies of the United States government, adds a bit more credence to topic.. The exclusion of anything weird or extraterrestrial won’t stop believers like Philip Corso and others who have deeply held beliefs on what they say they saw ..
Of course it may all have been a secret Soviet plan to create panic.
The truth is still out there..
Perhaps a bit more truth is in some secret document yet to be released, found, or shredded.
