Area 51

DEEP DIVE - On this episode we venture deep into the desert to find out the truth about one of the most elusive and secret locations on the planet, Area 51. Synonymous with UFO sightings, secret government operations and extreme privacy measures, Area 51 is bursting with secrets but not very well kept ones.We talk about the high tech radar repellent spy planes, the men who made them and how these craft were used as spy machines while getting misidentified as UFOs. We also talk about the black ops and shady shenanigans behind the aquisition of the money for these special projects and speculate on the current state and scale of experimentation.We also explore the claims of Bob Lazar and the other eye witnesses who claim to have worked and been involved in the operations at the Nevada research facility. Bob claims to have created technology that was reverse engineered from alien craft and there are others who say the same thing. Surely they all cant be crazy?We also discuss why such a secretive base was so well known and its reputation leaked into the creative media, used as plotlines in movies, TV shows and comic books frequently but only identified as an 'official' location by the US government in 2013.Thanks to Audible for sponsoring our podcast.
