How do you know that your friend isnt a spy from Russia. Well the US Govt thinks that way. They give this information out to the general US public, it
will spread like wild fire and the countries that the US is trying to hide area 51 from will then know what is going on there.. Kinda doesn't make
sense for the Govt to release all that information.
By all means, if somebody has been inside the facility then please speak up however I won't hold my breath.
Actually yes, we do know why the base exists. It is a test center for advanced technology projects. U-2, A-11, SR-71, F-117 were all tested there,
along with prototypes like Bird of Prey and Tacit Blue. Then there were the MiG evaluation programs by TAC and AFSC. Basically its just a place to
test very sight sensitive programs, many of which have not been declassified
In regards to the MiG aircraft, the fact we had those was not the big secret. The secret was HOW and WHERE they came from. We still fly
Soviet/Russian aircraft there, and test foreign armaments too.
