Area 51— Area 51 is a secret military facility about 90 miles north of Las Vegas. The number refers to a six by ten mile block of land, at the center of which is a large air base the United States 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 ned for landings.
Between December 1988 and April 1989, the area known as Groom Lake, on the Nellis Air Force Range in central Nevada became unusually popular. The now infamous Area 51 and especially the Groom and Papoose dry lake beds were relatively unknown terms to the mainstream community from the mid 1970's to 1989. The scientific circles knew it as "Dreamland" or as the Skunkworks or simply as Groom Lake
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 UFO and conspiracy stories. In 1989, Bob Lazar claimed on KLAS-TV Las Vegas television station that he had worked with alien spacecraft at Papoose Lake, south of Area 51.
