I'm surprised no one has mentioned the "official" name of that airbase yet. "Area 51" exists only as a reference to an unknown airbase. Most people believe (or assume) that it's referring to the Groom Lake Air Base, which is what we see on the satellite image. Groom Lake is supposed to be an average base with no specific purpose. However, when there's signs warning/threatening of deadly force surrounding the place, and odd white jeeps following you around, and that damn solitary mailbox on the highway, one has to wonder.
From what I gather, the Groom Lake base is supposed to house/test an advanced recon aircraft built for the air force. The name Aurora has floated about for years. Remember, when the SR-71 was being tested, people 1) had no previous knowledge of it, and 2) could easily mistake it for a UFO. I've read/heard claims that said Aurora could fly continuously at supersonic speeds but without making a sonic boom, thus making it perfectly silent. How it does this, I have no clue. Second, it's supposed to be able to make radical turns without problem. As in, turn very sharply without slowing down. It can literally take entire states for the SR-71 to turn around. Imagine if it only took a football field? It's supposed to test fly over Las Vegas down around Los Angeles, over the Pacific, and back. I've also heard it's an orangish color, which baffles me. Why would they make it orange if they wanted it secret? Hmm...
Sure, all of what I've said thus far is "supposed to" and "I've read/heard..." Nothing substantial. However, last March I was in Los Angeles on a rather clear night and witnessed something I couldn't recognize or believe. While gazing up above the trees I noticed what looked like a diamond flying incredibly fast. Imagine a kite with four tips, and at each tip was a dull glowing light. The diamond itself glowed a faint orange color, and I sware it couldn't have been flying more than 5000ft above the ground. It passed directly over me at an incredible rate of speed, then basically flew off until I couldn't see it anymore. Besides the eerie visual, the one thing that creeped me out was the complete lack of sound. At 5000ft, I should have been able to hear it very clearly. I heard absolutely nothing. As the craft flew over me, I did notice two fainter lights somewhat following it, but behind and off to the side. Follower aircraft? I don't know, but it's something I won't soon forget. Unfortunately, I was only able to get one other person to verify this. He saw the exact same thing I did, and we discussed it in great length that night. If only I had a camera...
It's hard to say that Area 51 is an alien warehouse, or that we're using alien technology in our future developments. What's rather easy to say though, is that technology advances by leaps and bounds, not steadily and slow. We've seen modern flight advance from single engine prop to jet. One can only imagine what's going to come next.
