Recently Area 51<\/strong> came to the spotlight<\/strong> once again as people on Facebook <\/strong>decided to create events to “storm” the Nevada-based flight testing facility <\/strong>(with over 2 million people<\/strong> accepting the event<\/a>, too). This area has been linked to alien sightings<\/strong> and other-world conspiracy theories<\/strong>, yet there seems to be very little truthfully known<\/strong> about this location. Here to share some facts that will fuel your extraterrestrial fantasies. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No One Knows Why It’s Called Area 51<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While there are plenty of theories about the name<\/strong>, there are no true origins to trace. According to Encyclopedia Britannica,<\/strong> it is <\/strong>not known<\/strong><\/a> how Area 51 got its name<\/strong> nor what it stands for! Some have theorized<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>that the name comes from the fact the location<\/strong> is very close to nuclear testing sites<\/strong>, which typically each have their own number. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fake Moon Landing Conspiracies Were Believed To Be Filmed Here<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest cultural events <\/strong>during the Cold War <\/strong>and ingrained into US history is the 1969 moon landing. <\/strong>However, despite the video footage <\/strong>and moon rocks as evidence<\/strong>, many people don’t believe <\/strong>that the moon landing actually happened.<\/strong> This lunar conspiracy theory<\/a> began by Bill Kaysing<\/strong>, who thinks that NASA officials faked the landing<\/strong> by filming it at Area 51, and took rocks from Antarctica as moon rocks. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Area 51 Workers Commute By Flight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Although most aspects of working at Area 51<\/strong> are kept top secret<\/strong>, there is news that employees commute to work <\/strong>via an unmarked government <\/strong>aircraft<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong> The airline<\/strong> for these secret aircrafts is called “Janet,”<\/strong> which some believe stands for Just Another Non-Existent Terminal.<\/em> However, no one<\/strong> truly knows<\/strong> where they land. Nor is it verified where these flights specifically take off from. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Best UFO Spotting Is By A Mailbox<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Although workers are sworn to secrecy<\/strong>, some former employees have opened<\/strong> up about their prior work <\/strong>at the location. One man named Bob Lazar became famous<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>for claiming to work at Area 51 and spotting UFOs.<\/strong> He said the best place to see aliens<\/strong> there was by the <\/strong>Black Mailbox.<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>In reality it is two mailboxes<\/strong>, one for owner Steve Medlin<\/strong> and the second one for aliens.<\/strong> Medlin added the second mailbox to prevent all visitors from tampering with his own mail. <\/strong>Whether it’s your dream (or nightmare<\/strong><\/a>) to get in contact with aliens<\/strong>, this spot 12 miles away<\/strong> from the extraterrestrial hub<\/strong> is where to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
