You know what I find unfair in this world? It’s that our government wants to know
everything it can about its citizens but they won’t let us know anything about
them. The government tends to keep almost everything a secret. They leak small
information to keep us quiet and controlled. One thing the U.S. government
doesn’t like to talk about is Area 51. Now when someone doesn’t like to talk
about something, it’s mostly because they’re hiding something, right? When
someone is hiding something, conspiracy theories begin to circulate.

| Restricted territory of Area 51 |
Area 51 is a base located in Nevada, 83 miles away of Las
Vegas. It is owned by the U.S. Federal Government and is operated by the United
States Air Force. To this very day, the U.S. government still has not announced
the main purpose of this base. Some say this is nothing more then a weapon and
aircraft testing facility. Although, this base is kept in high secrecy, which
easily makes it a target of conspiracy theories. The base is also always
monitored and is a restricted area. (1)
The most common conspiracy theory related to Area 51 is that
the base is involved in extraterrestrial activities. People believe that the
base focuses on reverse engineering extraterrestrial spacecraft and may even
hold extraterrestrial life forms. Others
believe that the base are working on teleportation and time-traveling
technology.
What really got people talking was when a man named Bob
Lazar spoke up about Area 51. Bob Lazar, a 55-year-old man, claims that he had
worked as an engineer and as scientist in Area 51. He states that he was
involved in reverse engineering extraterrestrial spacecraft. He also states
that he had saw nine different alien spacecraft. Not only that, but he also
states that he had worked on a fuel used in these spacecraft. He claims that
this fuel is used for space travelling. The only issue with Bob Lazar is that
none of the universities he says that he has attended hold any records of him,
nor does the U.S. Government (to have employed him). He says that the U.S.
Military had told him to not mention anything related to Area 51 or he would
find his family’s life in danger. (2)
I have to admit that this conspiracy theory is really
something I think is true. It really gets you thinking what might lie ahead.
Who knows…?

I definitely agree with you that it’s unfair that the government can hide things from us. However Moussa, I have to say that I do believe that there is something hidden there but I don’t think that they are hiding ‘aliens’ and space crafts. We never know though, you might be right. I like your curiosity, keep on snooping around. Maybe it'll be you that finally figures out what they are hiding there. Make sure you keep us updated by posting another blog!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite conspiracy theory of all time is probably this one. Do you think the reason there are no records of Lazar working there is because the government wiped the proof? (Much like we see how the past is erased in 1984). I am one of those people who believe in extra-terrestrial life and I also believe the government hides everything they know regarding the topic. They always try to cover up what they work on. Just like the (presumed extra-terrestrial) incident in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. Such an interesting topic. I really recommend the movie "Fire in the Sky" which is based on a true story concerning the kid who claimed to be taken by aliens. You have a great blog, keep up the great work !
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with you. This conspiracy is true! When you think about how big the universe is, the possibility of earth being the only planet with life, is very slim. The chances that alien life forms have attempted to land on earth to possibly communicate of harm us is therefore high. The government only wants to hide this type of stuff to control the population. If everyone knew about this conspiracy theory then everything will be chaos. Can't wait to see your next post.

ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you Moussa, it isn't fair how us citizen don't know nothing about area 51. But once I heard a bit of information about area 51, it just makes me more curious to know what's actually in area 51. I think it's scary how they don't tell us what's inside Area 51; they might be hiding something that would affect the world, or help us like the cure of cancer. Anyways I liked your blog Moussa it was really interesting, especially the story of Bob Lazar keep it up! on Area 51
