Greetings from Google!

Since 1955, Area 51 finds itself locked in secrecy, myth, and conspiracy 
theory.  A number of different opinions exist on what the U.S. Military is 
actually doing on the heavily guarded, sixty square mile site located 80 miles 
northwest of Las Vegas.  CIA involvement, UFO sightings, and government secrecy 
has put fuel to the mythological fire.  Separating U.S. Government fact from “X-
Files” fiction is a fine line especially when there are so many conflicting 
stories.

According to the Area 51 website, “in 1995 President Clinton signed the first 
annual exemption of the Groom Lake facility, exempting it from Federal, State, 
Interstate and local environmental laws. It has been re-exempted every year 
since then. The military's current stance is not to lie about the facility, but 
to ignore the whole issue altogether.”  This exemption law allows the 
government free use of the land without adhering to strict environmental laws, 
presumably to carry on with military testing.

According to Norio Hayakawa, speaker at Conspiracy Convention of 2002 and 
director of the Civilian Intelligence Network, conspiracy and myth have 
shrouded Area 51 for what it actually is:

“But in reality, this sprawling base is nothing more than a leading-edge 
research, development and testing complex for high tech weaponry integrated 
with avionics and aeronautics, the technologies of which, however, could 
possibly be utilized in the future to bring about Global Governance, if indeed 
such a plan were to exist.”

Norio Hayakawa, however, has his own conspiracy theories.  Instead of posturing 
UFO cover-ups, Hayakawa believes the site is used for military testing that 
could be used against its own citizens.  Hayakawa even raised awareness of his 
speculations by organizing a people’s rally on June 6, 1998 outside of Area 51.

To really know what the military is doing at Area 51 would require a top level 
security clearance. Anyone with such a clearance would be disallowed from 
discussing or disseminating any information with regards to the going ons and 
happenings of Area 51. There have been a variety of rumors as to what 
is "really" going on there, but those, of course, are totally unsubstantiated 
without any evidence from the United States government. Over the years certain 
classified information has been 'declassified' and entered the public arena. 
The latest release of information came in 1996 and referred to work that was 
done at the supposed Area 51 base that ended in 1985! For a full "official" 
or "known" history of Area 51 (also referred to as Groom Lake by the US 
Government) is available at 
http://www.area51researchcenter.com/area51/history.html. You will also find 
much rumor and speculation as to the current (and past) happenings at the Area 
51 Research Center, http://www.area51researchcenter.com/.

No, Area 51 is not gone.  I have done extensive research into Area 51,
and like subjects, and found many different things. Visiting the gates
of Area 51, I quickly learned it is not gone -- in fact the guards
were still there, watching.

You can see some additional information which will definitely tell you
Area 51 is still there:

To see my trip to Area 51, along with pictures and proof it is still
heavily watched, go to:

For proof President Bush is still covering up this subject, view some
documents I received and read the article at:

Enjoy :)

Area51 may indeed still be there, but the site
http://www.area51researchcenter.com/ does not like me or possibly
anyone else. I get "403 forbidden" trying to load it, maybe it didn't
like this recent attention?

I assume this site is PRIVATLEY writen and operated.
