Area 51, Nevada

We’ve all watched more than a couple of movies or read a couple of books at this point, yes? While their stories often differ, one can’t deny that many of them often use the same plot points. One such example would be the existence of a top-secret research facility. Its presence may be known to a small portion of the world’s population, but its operations undoubtedly remain hidden behind closed doors. Well, in the real world, one such location that suits this description is Area 51.

Officially named the Homey Airport, Area 51 arguably takes credit for being one of the most recognized secrets in the world. While it’s documented as an open training range, little to no information is known about the things done within its premises. This has led many people, especially UFO enthusiasts, to propose a theory stating that Area 51 is used to dabble in extra-terrestrial-related endeavors – maybe aliens are kept in there, who knows, right?
