From: "Terry W. Colvin" Subject: Area 51: Myth and Reality Date: 01-12-2014 The author makes a few overblown statements re that ALL or almost all UFO reports can be attributed to sighting stealth aircraft. He at first focused on southern Nevada and then broadened this statement to include most UFO reports of high-flying craft worldwide.

Most military bases have tight security, and only authorized military personnel and their contractors are allowed on base. This particular base is top secret, with much tighter security than most military land. Not only is it surrounded by a secured perimeter and motion detectors in the ground, but the guards travel the perimeter regularly, and have video security cameras monitoring everything that comes near the fence. It is also located in one of the most remote areas of sparsely populated Nevada, more than two hours of driving north out of Las Vegas. Because there is no way to see the base from the paved road, even from the highest peaks outside the base except Tikaboo Peak (a long hard desert hike), it can only be viewed from the air or from space. Naturally, that high level of secrecy has led to all sorts of speculation about what happens there, and an entire industry of books and movies and TV shows which need only mention the phrase "Area 51" and immediately their audience assumes that there are aliens or some kinds of weird government experiments going on there. ...
