Fifty-one or often called area 51 is an isolated area in southern Nevada, owned by the United States government, used as a center for the secret development and testing of new-generation fighter Aircraft. According to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the correct names for these facilities are Homey Airport ICAO: KXTA and Groom Lake,although the name Area 51 is used in CIA Documents from the Vietnam War. This area is also very famous because it is strongly suspected as a Center for UFO research, which until now is considered as one of the conspiracy theories that have not been revealed.
For those of you who like to watch action films with the theme of aliens invading Earth, you may often hear the word Area 51.
Area 51 itself is indeed the area most suspected by activists of alien conspiracy theorists.
In essence, Area 51 is synonymous with the story of UFOs, the existence of aliens being covered up by the government, to the place to test alien technology.
But many do not know about the real facts of Area 51 which is located in the middle of the Groom Lake desert in southern Nevada.

Suspected of Being an Alien Base.
Area 51 is actually a United States Air Force military installation. But it is more famous as a testing ground for alien technology and the like.
One piece of evidence that surfaced was the testing of alien technology taken from the site of the alien plane crash in Roswell, New Mexico.
The story is getting 'sound' real because Area 51 has been a secret base for years and is still not accessible to the public.
But really, what was inside Area 51 that made this military installation so mysterious? Launching Space, the following is an explanation of the facts of Area 51 which have remained a mystery to this day.
Location Area 51
Area 51 is located 200 kilometers northwest of Las Vegas, near the small towns of Rachel and Hiko. If people refer to it as Area 51, then the US government names the military installation as the Nevada Test and Training Range or 'Paradise Ranch'.
Today, the base and military complex, founded in 1955, is part of the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS), with the CIA referring to it as Groom Lake and Homey Airport. Although satellite imagery of the site has been restricted, starting 2018 the base can be seen on Google Maps, albeit on a limited basis.
Area 51
Benjamin Radford is an American folklorist, writer, investigator and Area 51 skeptic. He had his own opinion on the area of this Area 51.
The base itself is quite small, but the restricted area around it is more than 36,000 acres—partly to prevent reconnaissance and partly because they need to test covert aircraft.
Only conspiracy theorists and the media call it Area 51. For the US government, its name is the Nevada Test and Training Range, which is part of Edwards Air Base.
Fill Area 51
The US military finally acknowledged the existence of Area 51 in 2013 after classified CIA documents detailing the history of the U-2 spy plane were leaked in the hands of George Washington University's National Security Archives.
Radford said even though the document was leaked, it didn't mean that people could enter the base freely. The problem is the US military classifies Area 51 as an 'Area of Military Operations.'
"Ahead, there will be sights of loud-pitched warning signs and heavily armed guards patrolling the perimeter line guarded by motion sensors, cameras and so on. And also a fire warning sign on the spot," explains Radford.
According to Radford, the border around Area 51 is not fenced off but is marked with orange posts and warning signs. The signs notify visitors that photos are not allowed and that violations will result in a fine.
