Part 2/14:
let’s start with Area 51, a U.S. Air Force base located in the Nevada desert. With its origins dating back to the Cold War, it was primarily established for the testing of experimental aircraft like the U-2 and SR-71 Blackbird. Despite its mundane military function, Area 51 has become synonymous with extraterrestrial conspiracy theories. The base’s restricted access, armed guards, and electronic surveillance have turned it into a fertile ground for speculation about alien interactions and even thought to house crashed UFOs and alien technologies.
