Area 51 The Revealing Truth of Ufos, Secret Aircraft, Cover-Ups & Conspiracies
Maybe aliens really are at Area 51, and maybe they really are working with Uncle Sam’s most brilliant scientists. Perhaps the Roswell bodies really are stored away the base and, just possibly, everything that Bushman said was 100 percent true, but making it eventually look like a big joke, or the ramblings of an old man whose mind was fragmenting, would be a brilliant way of making the alien–Area 51 tales look far less impressive than so many have maintained.
All we can say for sure is that the Boyd Bushman revelations surfaced for a reason. Whether that reason was designed to shed further light on a genuine extraterrestrial presence at Area 51 or if the plan was to give ufology a solid punch in the face—and to make the domain of UFO research look stupid—is still open to debate. Whatever Boyd Bushman really knew about Area 51 and its UFO links went with him in 2014. Just perhaps, this was Bushman’s “last hurrah,” still secretly working for his Area 51 masters to the very end.
One year after the Boyd Bushman story wound down, yet another Area 51- linked affair surfaced publicly, something that caused even more headaches for the U.S. government and those employed at the base. It all revolved around the Sheahan family, the owners of what is known as the Groom Mine. This is no normal mine, however. Rather, it’s a lead and silver mine that actually overlooks the legendary installation. The fact that a portion of that vast area was still in the hands of the public is something that deeply troubled and worried the government. When the story surfaced in 2015, the Sheahans had owned the mine for around 130 years. It was, then, a staple part of both their livelihood and their history and legacy as a family.
It turns out that in the 1950s, one of the first things that the staff of the then- recently constructed Area 51 staff did was to use the area very near the mine as a place to test new kinds of bullets and even bombs. For years, the family stayed silent about what was going down but eventually felt that they had to go public as a result of becoming ever more tired and angered by the way they perceived that they had been treated.
Dan Sheahan is the co-owner of the Groom Mine. When he decided to tell the media his story, he said: “First, we really didn’t want to come public, but the Air Force has forced us into it. We want ’em to know what they have done over the last sixty years to our family is not acceptable. The bullets, the cases dropped on the ground right there and then.” Adding to Sheahan’s words are those of Las Vegas Now, a news outlet that carefully and deeply followed the story. It stated: “The Sheahans say their buildings have been strafed and bombed by military jets over the past six decades. They believe it was an errant bomb or dropped wing tank that blew up their mill in the 1950s—ending production at the mine.”
Ben Sheahan said in stark fashion: “My grandfather and my grandmother, Dan and Martha Sheahan, were destroyed at the hands of the government.” Barbara Sheahan-Manning added: “They went to the poorhouse trying to win their case of the mill that was destroyed by the Air Force. We have some evidence they absolutely were the culprits in that, and it was never addressed.
They literally ran our grandparents out of money trying to fight them.” She added: “We’ve been illegally searched. I was threatened to be arrested on a trip when I was going out one time to get on our land, our own privately owned land.”
Joe Sheahan added to that: “They held people at gunpoint. They withdrew 89,000 acres of land, surrounded our property and made us an island. But six years before that, they placed a security shack on the road that our grandfather built for access to our own property and started requiring us to go through their checkpoints in order to gain access.”
