The Revealing Truth of Ufos, Secret Aircraft, Cover-Ups & Conspiracies: Area 51

John recalled that in 1947, the files stated, the U.S. government created a secret group to oversee the growing perceived threat posed by what was seen as an outright extraterrestrial menace. John never knew the name of the group since it was blacked out in the pages of the documents he was given access to. At some point in 1960, the group created a splinter organization that worked closely with a highly secret arm of NASA to try to understand the nature of the alien technology and, in the process, to hopefully duplicate it. By all accounts, not a great deal of advancement had been made, and that, apparently, was also the case by 1970: the technology was so bizarre and beyond most people’s comprehension that the scientists on the program could do little other than scratch their heads and stare at it.

Then, in the late 1960s, a radical decision was made. Up until then—the files John read stated—various top-secret UFO programs existed and were situated all across the country. Some of the work was done at the Wright- Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. Other research was undertaken at the Utah-based Dugway Proving Ground, which is shrouded in just about as much secrecy as is Area 51. Alien bodies were stored at various facilities around the United States, so a decision was made to consolidate all of this material into one location: a highly secure, incredibly well-guarded facility that was practically a fortress. We are, of course, talking about Area 51, which was overseen by a group within the Atomic Energy Commission.

According to what John learned, up until the end of the 1960s Area 51 was only involved in classified issues relative to the likes of the U-2 spy plane, the SR-71 Blackbird, and various other spy planes of a prototype nature as well as work in the fields of chemical warfare, biological warfare, surveillance technologies, and advanced weapons systems. That all changed, though, when Area 51 became the numero uno locale for all things alien. It wasn’t just the extraterrestrial technology and the bodies that were secretly transported to Area 51: it was all of the people who had worked on those earlier, separate projects around the country.

Now everyone who had ever worked on such a program would do their work from Area 51 and from nowhere else at all; this was one of the primary reasons why John was brought onboard: it was essential that all of the massive amounts of alien-oriented documentation transferred to Area 51 was looked after and stored under the absolute strictest regimes possible. Area 51 was now akin to a real-life Aladdin’s Cave—but the treasures it held were born and created on faraway worlds, perhaps even in the heart of a faraway galaxy, and John was going to be one of the key figures who would look after this incredible body of material—material that 99.999 percent of the world’s population had absolutely no knowledge of. For John, it was both incredible and a little intimidating— frightening, even, at times—but it was the offer of a lifetime, and John was not about to turn that offer down.

One of the most sinister aspects of the whole story came to John within just a few days of working at Area 51. He was told by fellow personnel at the secret facility that many of those who were allied to the original program—and when the highly classified files were held at the likes of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and Utah’s Dugway Proving Ground—had gone “rogue.” That’s to say, and according to what John was told, more than a few senior personnel in the UFO programs had taken highly controversial steps to try to reveal the secret truths of alien evidence held by the U.S. government.

This, reportedly, resulted in the government taking just about the most extreme actions possible to ensure that certain talkative figures didn’t talk again —as in ever. That’s right: we are talking about the termination of people who were perceived as potential untrustworthy whistle-blowers. John was told of deaths on the programs involving car accidents, suicides, heart attacks, and much more—all made to look innocent but that, in reality, were carefully orchestrated murders. Other people in the programs vanished and were never seen again. For John, as a retired police officer this was deeply disturbing: murder as a result of fears of exposure of the UFO secrets? John seriously began to wonder what he had gotten himself into. On top of that, top-secret files vanished, too— documents that included some of the original raw intelligence material on the Roswell affair of July 1947. Masses of papers were reportedly destroyed— chiefly to hide the controversial acts that had been committed to silence certain people.
