Area51

The creation of Area 51 began in April of 1955, when a Lockheed test pilot, Tony LeVier, searched for a remote site to test the U-2.  Grooms Lake is chosen as the location for the runway.  By August of 1955, the U-2 makes its first flight from Grooms Lake.  That was only the beginning for test flights from Area 51.  In April 1962, the first A-12 Blackbird was tested at Groom Lake.  February 1982, the F-117A Stealth fighter takes off for the first time.  All other test flights have not been released to the public, but that doesn't mean they don't occur.  However, they are, in no way, shape or form, alien test flights.  Nearly all of the evidence that supports the alien spacecraft theory, is without backing, or solid information.  Also, the US government played on the UFO theories to hide their own testing plans.  Today, Area 51 is the home to the latest top secret aircraft: the Aurora, among others  Many of these aircraft, past and present, are able to perform incredible feats in the sky.  Some so unbelievable, that they could be mistaken for alien spacecraft by fanatics of extra-terrestrials.  However, based on the falsified eye-witness accounts of Area 51, and declassification of military spy planes like the U-2 and F-117A Stealth fighter, I am here to tell you that these flights are not alien crafts, but actually secret military aircraft.

          1.  None of his claims can be verified.
               a.  People can't just go to the alien hangars and check for space                     craft.
               b.  He took a lie detector test and the results were inconclusive.

II.  The U-2 was the initial reason Area 51 was created, as stated in a timeline created by      Tom Mahood, a respected Area 51 historian.
     A.  It was a secret spy plane created in the 1950s to get recon photos                behind the Iron Curtain.
     B.  During the Cold War, it was used frequently to determine what kind of arsenal           the USSR really had.
     C.  It needed an extremely long runway, because of the high speed it needed to           take off.
