The Revealing Truth of Ufos, Secret Aircraft, Cover-Ups & Conspiracies: Area 51
Tales of what have infamously become known as “black helicopters” abound in the field of conspiracy theorizing. Two of the biggest questions surrounding the phenomenon are: (a) who has the technology and power to fly such craft and (b) from where do they operate? One has good reasons to believe that the phenomenon had its origins at none other than Area 51.
It should be noted that accounts of black, and even silent, helicopters abound. Not only that, their origins can be traced back to a program that began in the early 1970s at Area 51. In 1995, the U.S. magazine Aviation Week and Space Technology published an article that, in part, stated: “The U.S. military has been working for years on at least two helicopter projects. The more recent is [the] development of a light, very quiet helicopter with a mast-mounted sight.” The magazine continued: “The program’s existence was underscored on Apr. 9, 1991, during an interview with a former Lockheed official. When asked if he had heard of something called a ‘quiet helicopter,’ the official responded, ‘Absolutely, a very quiet helicopter. But I can’t talk [about it]; that’s getting into very sensitive areas.’”
That sensitivity was almost certainly driven by the fact that the program had its origins in the heart of Area 51. One of those who had uncovered certain classified data on this particular Nevada-based program was a conspiracy theorist named Jim Keith. As we’ll see later, Keith died in 1999 under controversial and mysterious circumstances, but for now, let’s continue with the story.
The issue of the silent helicopters was one that particularly intrigued Keith. After all, helicopters are known for their deep thump-thump sound, so to encounter a helicopter that is near-silent—or, perhaps, even completely silent— would be amazing, indeed. In pursuing the tales of the silent ’copters, Keith found himself repeatedly pointed in the direction of Nevada. By now, you know the specific stretch of Nevada.
