The secret's out

WHAT'S really going on at Area 51, the US Air Force base in Nevada whose
fascination for UFO believers has made it just about the most famous
"secret" military installation in the world? The controversy was given
another stir last month when two satellite imaging companies posted
photographs of the base on the Net. You can see them at www.terraserver.com
and www.spaceimaging.com. The photos show much what you'd expect to see at
an Air Force base--hangars, landing strips, housing. So what's the big deal?

FOR a summary of the paranoid imaginings that swirl around Area 51, see The
UFO Cover-up at www.all-natural.com/lear.html. Allegations about Area 51
being used to house recovered flying saucers are the least of it. Author
John Lear says the US government is in a long-standing conspiracy with
aliens who need human enzymes to help them digest their food. The testimony
of Bob Lazar, who says he was an Area 51 scientist, provides details about
how the alien propulsion system works at www.boblazar.com. Its power
source--previously unknown to humans--is element 115.

IF what you want is a reasonably straightforward history of the base, look
at the conspiracy site Above Top Secret
(www.abovetopsecret.com/area51.html),which traces the base from its
beginnings as a testing ground for the U-2 spy plane. The site also has an
account of a videotaped interview with a dying alien, conducted at the base
by a "military telepath". You can tell he's telepathic by the way he puts
his hand to his head a lot.

CONSIDERABLY more down to Earth is the Federation of American Scientists'
take on the matter at www.fas.org/irp/overhead/groom.htm. They don't believe
in flying saucers or in aliens--dead or alive. But they do believe that the
continuing speculation about the use of Area 51 illustrates everything that
is harmful and ridiculous about post-Cold War government secrecy.
