My grandfather was in the army for 38 years. He enlisted with his buddies near the end of World War Two served in Korea and Vietnam. He was stationed in Las Vegas during down time at one time. I asked him if he ever heard of Area 51 and he said no. He told me that he fixed typewriters when he was in Vegas and that was it . I don’t believe him because I don’t see a brigadier General fixing typewriter. Some people keep quiet about there time and never reveal anything . I believe he was working on the sr71 project but he never mentioned anything .

When I was a baby, my father was a CIA employee at Area 51, during the time the A12s were being transported there and tested. He was part of the security group. We lived in Las Vegas, and he flew out for the week, then he'd fly back to us for the weekends. My birth certificate lists his occupation as "Nuclear Energy", which was a common cover they used. Later in my life, I knew he had worked for the CIA but I didn't find out about the Area 51 thing until about 10 years ago. There are some interesting stories about the transporting of the planes in those trailers. They would stop sometimes and people would gather and ask what was in the trailers. My dad got tired of thinking up ways to evade the question, so finally he just started telling people, "Well I shouldn't tell you this, but it's a UFO we found". They would light up in amazement and run off to tell others. I like to think my dad was at least partly responsible for the fact that people believe there are UFOs there to this day. :)

That's a big UFO yah found!

In 1990, after reading about Bob Lazar in the LA Weekly, I went to Area 51 with my boyfriend. Bob Lazar said that they flew these things on Wednesday nights because that was when there was the least traffic on the highway. We stopped at the Little Ale’Inn, met Joe and Pat Travis and got directions to the black mailbox road. We parked there all night, and around 3 am we saw a giant glowing ball of light float up over the mountains. It floated around and did some horizontal movement, and then floated back down. I think we saw them testing one of the craft. 🛸

When the USA got that MIG-21 there was quite a bit of reverse engineering on the avionics. We figured out the USSR's transponders. Then we designed and built airborne interrogators that were installed on F-4 Phantoms. Good for finding those pesky MIGs that were not radar visible due to ground clutter.

It is top secret technology worth billions of dollars and which took years, if not decades, in development. Do you think they would just let you walk on the base to take a few pictures of their state of the art jets, whose existence hasn't even been made public?

Anyone who crosses the gate still has 10 miles to go before they get to the actual base. They'll be arrested or shot just to look at a dirt road.

They only call out the last three of five numbers/letters in the tail number which is standard practice after first identifying yourself to ATC. KZread's closed captioning is not correct. I looked up the tail number on the FAA registry for 862KJ and it does not exist. If you listen closely, you can make out 62J or 6KJ but need the first two letters for a full tail number (after the N which means it's registered in the USA). Unless they shot him down and deleted the registry ;)

The U2 was not a flyer that was undetected in the USSR... it was just so high there was nothing they could do about it. Until Gary Powers anyway

Most of the base is underground. Yes, they built jet engine spy planes but their primary purpose was to develop electrogravitic air/spacecraft and weapons like the ones they used to zap Maui,.
