Area 51 is a highly secrative United States Military base opperated by the US Air Force. The site is supervised by armed guards. Flying above the base is forbbiden. This military site is located close to the initial testing site for US nuclear weapons in the 1950s. Although built in 1955, the facility wasn't publically acknowledged by the US Government until 2013.
Area 51 is believed to be a site where cutting edge spacecrafts are developed and tested for the US Military. There is a long held and well known belief that the space craft from the Roswell Alien sighting is held at Area 51 for testing and possible replication of alien technology in US Military planes. At this time there is no proof that this is the case but due to the extreme secrecy surrounding the facility we may never know its true purpose.
In 2019 there was a social movement surrounding the secrecy of Area 51. A facebook group called 'Storm Area 51' was created by alien enthusiasts demanding that the government show off their aliens or else. The joking threat warned of an army of Nerf Gun wielding gamers running at naruto level speeds. The tagline for the facebook page was, "They can't catch us all." The page sparked several Nevada and New Mexico based events some at the actual base for Area 51, some in Roswell, and a large event in Las Vegas. There inevitably was no raid however much fun was had by all who participated.
It has been confirmed that Area 51 has been used for US espionage and that stealth planes including the U-2 were developed and tested at the base. Some speculate that this plane was the casue of many UFO sightings that originally occured around the base. Others have been left unsatisfied by this information, especially those who believe Bob Lazar. A complicated figure in the Area 51 conspiracy, Lazar claims to have been a physicist working at Area 51 in the 1980s who came forward to talk about his experiences. He claims that the government has hid evnidence of aliens at Area 51 and has suppressed and destroyed his credentials after he was fired in 1989.
