Yes true Area 51 holds nothing.... But who Questions Area 52,, that is the site flashed in front of your face in TV Shows and Movies.. IT does
exist...
The deserts of Nevada hold many secrets, including military secrets. Our state is home to some of the most highly classified military installations in
the world. We've all heard of Area 51, but there's also an Area 52, and it has inspired plenty of wild stories of its own over the years, including
what's going on underground.
When the Washington Post ran a cartoon in 1997 joking that Area 52 is where the government hides its elves and gnomes, it didn't realize there really
is an Area 52, also known as the Tonopah Test Range. It might not house any elves, but it's where the military grapples with gremlins. For example,
how to better exploit pilotless drones, or how to use parachutes to deliver nuclear bombs. The Sandia Corporation, which manages Area 52, is working
on a fusion reactor, which it pointedly announced is, quote, "not from Area 51," a more secretive sister facility.
From public land, it's easy to see Area 52's large infrastructure with accommodations for thousands. The long runway was built for a fleet of
pilfered Russian MiGs, which flew 15,000 missions without the public ever knowing. The first stealth wing followed the MiGs, also in total secrecy. In
nearby Tonopah, residents like Jose Gonzalez say they see dozens of contrails from the base every day, most likely the transport planes carrying
employees from a private terminal in Las Vegas. To work on what, though?
Jose Gonzalez told the I-Team, "When I first got here, they were talking about a plane that would go into space and land, for NASA. I don't know."
