Question

How do I find Area 51 using Google Maps?

Community Answer

The base is South of Rachel, Nevada (Rachel is the closest town to the base). When you search up the town, scroll down and the base will be there. It’s also South West of Bald Mountain and North West of Las Vegas.

Question

What is the exact address so I can see it on Google Maps?

Community Answer

There is no exact address. However, to see the base a little bit more clearly you can look up Groom Lake on Google Maps, and look at the map on the bottom left corner of the window, then you can see some of the base. You can even see some planes and some other things in the military base.

Question

What would happen if I leaked Area 51's secrets?

Community Answer

You would probably get fired, or go to jail (or worse) if the government found out. I wouldn't recommend doing that.

When did Area 51 start?

It began in 1942 as Indian Springs Air Force Auxiliary Field, but in 1955 the CIA established the site for the USAF testing the U-2 spy plane, when it became a site surrounded in secrecy.

Question

Are there aliens in Area 51?

Aasim

Top Answerer

No. "UFO" is an abbreviation for "Unidentified Flying Object" and has nothing to do with extraterrestrial life. Most of these UFOs turn out to be foreign aircraft, weather balloons, or phenomena created by Earth's weather.
