Area 51 is everywhere lately, thanks to a Facebook event called <\/span>\u201cStorm Area 51\u201d <\/span><\/a>where a group of dedicated individuals is planning on \u201cNaruto<\/a>\u201d running towards Area 51. While many understand it\u2019s a joke, there\u2019s some concern from the U.S. Air Force that not all are getting that message.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Naruto\"
A Naruto run for those wondering<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Earlier today, they posted a reminder to those who are seriously considering visiting the site that it is an open training range for the Air Force, it would be unwise to approach such a heavily guarded area without permission.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where did the rumor of aliens at Area 51 begin? Let\u2019s take a look at <\/span>Britannica\u2019s<\/span><\/a> timeline –<\/span><\/p>\n

1939-1945<\/b><\/h2>\n

The United States uses Area 51 as an aerial weapon target range for the duration of World War II.<\/span><\/p>\n

1955<\/b><\/h2>\n

In secrecy, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) uses Area 51 to practice aerial surveillance programs. Here they tested the Lockheed U-2, which is a high-level reconnaissance aircraft. To find out more about the U-2, check out <\/span>Air Force Technology<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

1956<\/b><\/h2>\n

U-2\u2019s were in the air, the CIA continued to test more aerial technology under <\/span>Project AQUATONE<\/span><\/a>. President Eisenhower signed off on all tests.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1989<\/b><\/h2>\n

Bob Lazar claims to have been on a project working with extraterrestrial technology at Area 51. Lazar claims to have seen photos of extraterrestrial autopsies and more. Consequently, Lazar’s claims were refuted by the Government but sparked many conspiracy theories surrounding alien life.<\/span><\/p>\n

2013<\/b><\/h2>\n

The United States Government finally acknowledges the existence of Area 51 but does not confirm any existence of alien technology being found. The Government claims to have used Area 51 solely for testing military technology, disputing any claims of extraterrestrial connections.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2019<\/b><\/h2>\n

Interest in Area 51 is at a peak high after U.S. Senators were briefed about a U.S. Navy interaction with an unidentified flying object. <\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, the Navy told<\/span> CNN<\/span><\/a> they do not believe there are aliens in U.S. airspace but there has been a surge of UFOs in recent years. <\/span><\/p>\n

Bob Lazar has a <\/span>highly rated Netflix special<\/span><\/a> and of course, there\u2019s the Facebook event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Area 51 has maintained its mysteriousness for almost 40 years, what do you think of this new surge of interest? Are you interested or do you think it\u2019s ridiculous? Let us know in the comments below!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
