I don't really buy it. I think it's a run-of-the-mill base, where some military planes and helicopters fly for training exercises.
On one of those shows I watched that claimed 51 was the home of aliens, they used the fact that the base had increased security as "proof" that there were aliens there.
I got to thinking... Maybe they increased security because alien-myth-chasin' wing-nuts have been trying to raid the base for decades! There appears to be nothing very secretive going on. Civilians can't be trying to rush a military base with cameras and "I Heart Klingons" t-shirts and expect to be given free reign.
I mean, you have all kinds of people spreading the "alien" rumors and trying to sneak around the base to take photos, yet the base is still there. They haven't packed up and moved. You would think that if THE military secret to end all secrets had been exposed, they would have at least packed up and moved.
Overall, I think the myths are basically harmless. If it wasn't Area 51, then it would be something else. It seems to me that alien conspiracists don't actually need "proof," they only need each other. lol

Yes, I agree with you, there are no aliens in Area 51. Just because it's secret doesn't mean it involves extraterrestrials. It's a military base, and they do their secret things there - they don't want us civilians to know what goes on there.
And the whole idea that aliens are there seems to suggest that people believe that the aliens are hostile so that the military would want to hide them. I believe that out there the aliens are peaceful . . .
Area 51 is a base where the military can make secretive aircraft and weapon testing.
Only thing that makes me suspicious is - If Area 51 is supposed to be so secret, how do we know that they use it to test aircraft?
This post was supposed to a RESPONSE, but since I already wrote all this as a comment and I can't copy and paste, I just have to go on and post this here . . .
