Area 51 The Revealing Truth of Ufos, Secret Aircraft, Cover-Ups & Conspiracies
Trying to break in to Area 51 is dicey, dangerous, pointless, and fruitless. Such is the extent of the surveillance of the landscape that surrounds the base (and all of the Nevada Test and Training Range, too) that it’s all but impossible to successfully penetrate the secret base. Cameras, motion-detection devices, heat-seeking technology, night vision, aerial drones, and much more collectively ensure that any attempt to stroll onto Area 51—whether by day or night—will simply not work. That doesn’t prevent people from thinking they can do exactly that, though. The most recent example of this stupid futility occurred in the latter part of 2012.
It was in October 2012 that a team from the BBC tried to achieve what no one else had done: find a way into Area 51. The two primary figures in the saga were Andre Maxwell and Darren Perks. The former is a well-known Irish comedian, while Perks is a conspiracy theorist. For good measure, they had a few UFO sleuths with them, too, as they traveled around not just Nevada but also Arizona and California. The plan was for the pair to get as close as they could to Area 51 and have the film crew capture all of the excitement for posterity. It didn’t quite work out like that, though. They should have known that.
The entire crew and cast were clearly not prepared for what was about to come down on them. They actually thought that trying to get into the base under cover of darkness would actually work. Of course, it didn’t. Their first stop was the town of Rachel—the home of the Little A’Le’Inn, which is the closest place of normality to Area 51. Not too far away is what is known as Area 51’s “Back Gate.” The Visit Area 51 website states: “The Front Gates are really just a cluster of warning signs–but the warnings carry stiff enough penalties, that they may as well be razor wire. The real gates, located at the guard shack, are actually a mile down Groom Lake Road past the warning signs. And you won’t find Area 51 for almost eight miles past the guard shack (in other words, there’s no use planning to storm the gates hoping to get a glimpse of the base–their FLIR-equipped Sikorsky MH-60G Pave Hawk choppers will get to you before you make it anywhere).
While you can’t actually see anything from the warning signs, you can climb Hawkeye Hill, if you are very careful not to cross the poorly-marked border, and see the actual guard shack.” According to Perks: “There was no one around, no guards, no vehicles— nothing. We filmed for approximately thirty minutes and tried to call the guards but there was no one there and no sign of them. So we all decided to walk past the barriers onto the restricted area past the security huts and basically onto Area 51. Nothing happened.” As Visit Area 51 correctly notes, though, going through the gates does not mean that you are immediately on Area 51. The base itself is still more than eight miles from the gates. In other words, despite what Perks claimed, they were most assuredly not on Area 51 at all. They were still miles away from it. Trying to get to the base from the gate is impossible without the required clearance—as the team quickly learned to their cost.
For a while, the team managed to get some stock footage of the area. It was, however, when they decided to knock on the door of one of the security huts at the gate that all hell broke loose. Armed security personnel descended upon them, ordering them to lie down on the ground facedown or else. Not surprisingly, one and all did exactly what they were told to do, and quickly, too.
All of the team was extensively searched, and for a while, their iPhones, wallets, and cameras were confiscated. For around three hours, they were forced to lie flat on the desert floor. Background checks followed, as did a trip to the local sheriff’s office, where they were duly chewed out and fined in the region of $500 each. A lesson was learned the hard way: if you try to penetrate Area 51, you will not succeed. Instead, you’ll have a gun pointed at you, you’ll likely end up out of cash, and a file will be opened on you.
Undoubtedly, one of the most controversial of all the various whistle- blowers who have come forward with startling revelations concerning Area 51 was a man named Boyd Bushman. He revealed data that was not just controversial but arguably beyond controversial. You’ll soon see what I mean by that. Although many of Bushman’s claims stretched credibility to the absolute max, the intriguing fact is that he really was plugged into the secret world of Area 51 and advanced technologies, as we shall now see.
