Area 51

Sad  day  for all the nuts who believe outer world aliens are walking our earth having travelled in their spaceships and made a landing at their favorite earthport ... Area 51 in Nevada.   Or maybe not a sad day .... the nuts  can still insist "it's a government conspiracy"  and that the aliens are here and so are their aircraft and continue living in their space-dreams.

 ....Newly declassified documents,   obtained by George Washington University's National Security Archive, appear to for the first time acknowledge the existence of Area 51. Hundreds of pages describe the genesis of the Nevada site that was home to the government's spy plane program for decades. The documents do not, however, mention aliens.

The project started humbly. In the pre-drone era about a decade after the end of World War II, President Eisenhower signed off on a project aimed at building a high-altitude, long-range, manned aircraft that could photograph remote targets. Working together, the Air Force and Lockheed developed a craft that could hold the high-resolution cameras required for the images, a craft that became the U-2. Why "U-2"?...........
