You have probably asked yourself more than once what area 51 is and why there is so much mystery<\/b> about it. Of course, it is becoming more and more famous but nobody knows for sure what exactly it is hiding.<\/p>\n

So if you are going to travel to the United States<\/a> or are just curious about this enigmatic area, read on!<\/p>\n

\"Area<\/p>\n

What is Area 51?<\/h2>\n

Area 51 also known as Groom Lake, Homey Airport is actually a Nellis Air Force Base<\/b>. Although according to the CIA, the correct designation for the facility is the Nevada Test and Training Ground and Groom Lake.<\/p>\n

This was a secret US military base where “top secret” tests were conducted<\/b> since the mid-twentieth century. And it was not until 2013 that the United States Government acknowledged its existence.<\/p>\n

This has led to it being considered a mysterious place and there is a belief that aliens and UFOs that would have come to earth are kept there<\/b>. This is the reason why it has become such a tourist attraction, considering that today it is even possible to go on excursions in Area 51 of the United States<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In them, you can observe the uninhabited landscapes and be a witness to this very secret place. And even if you don’t go inside the area because it is forbidden, who knows, maybe you can even find some aliens around!<\/p>\n

\"Area<\/p>\n

Where is the Groom Lake?<\/h2>\n

Area 51 is a section of land of about 155 km2 in Lincoln County, south of the State of Nevada in the United States<\/b> AND 135 km north of Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

It occupies 7,543 square kilometres<\/b> that cannot be entered, even from the air. Thanks to Google maps, however, we can get an idea of what this terrain hides.<\/p>\n
