Redfern, Nick: Area 51

It's no secret that, roughly 100 miles north northwest of Las Vegas in the middle of a remote desert, sits an extension of the Edwards Air Force facility commonly known as Area 51, but its clandestine purpose and operations remain shrouded in secrecy. It's a highly classified, restricted area, but, cloaked in conspiracy theories, its history and true function remain a mystery.

Taking a thorough review of the historical record, eyewitness accounts, whistleblower allegations, and deathbed confessions, Area 51: The Revealing Truth of UFOs, Secret Aircraft, Cover-Ups and Conspiracies peers behind the highly fortified, heavily guarded CIA testing ground to understand fully the nature, history, and scope of the most secret and controversial base in the United States. It investigates the Cold War years, U-2 spy plane, SR-71 Blackbird, and chemical and nuclear weapon research as well as the base's link to an extraterrestrial presence on Earth, reports of alien autopsies, recovery of non-terrestrial spacecraft, and attempts to duplicate the fantastic, alien technology.
