Hi Charlie here area 51 located in nevada usa has got to be the most
mysterious place in america it's a secret military base located in
the middle of nowhere it's been confirmed that secretive
reconnaissance aircrafts have been tested there and it's highly expected
that studies into ufos and aliens have also
gone on in area 51. the base has been in existence since
1995. but the government only publicly
acknowledged this in 2013. before then if you asked the president
or any politician if area 51 existed they would have to say no of course it's
attracted a lot of attention and media loves to show photos of the
signs saying no entering but what if i told you that there are
many public images of area 51. you've likely never seen them before because
many are newly released from official cia photos of bombs and
planes to some brave explorers and pilots who
have taken their own secret photos inside the base
cia photos the first photos are from the horse's mouth itself
the cia area 51 is technically managed by the us air force and the cia
many people don't realize the amount of research the cia does into ufos and
aliens just take a look at these official
declassified cia documents on ufos if you don't believe me you can see
these for yourself on the cia's website just imagine what they don't have
declassified but they've also recently declassified images from inside area 51.
this image shows the base known as groom lake
this is a rare perspective of the base looking northeast
the triangular mountain in the background is called ticaboo peak and
that will come up later that's because it's the single remaining
location where the public can get a view of area 51.
but in the photo you can see some buildings of the bases aircraft hangars
and also planes this is another area 51 photo from the
air you can see lots of airplane hangars and buildings
but it's said that much of the more secretive work in area 51 happens
underground according to annie jacobson who
researched area 51 for many years much of their operations happen underground
and some even believe that there's a vast underground railroad system under
the base another image released by the cia shows
the yucca flats this is part of area 51 and those hulls
are not natural they're craters from exploded bombs
it said that the vicinity of round area 51 is one of the most bombed out places
on earth this photo was taken from a helicopter
the closest crater is known as the sedan crater
this was where a 104 kiloton bomb was buried at a depth of 635 feet
its detonation caused a 1 280 feet wide crater to appear the crate is also 320
feet deep it can be seen from space and it also
moved 12 million tons of radioactive dirt in a
single second pilot photos now let's move on from the
officially declassified cia photos onto something less
official in april this year one brave private pilot did something we've always
wanted to do gabriel's life man who's a great pilot
and photographer took some rare aerial photos of every 51
gabriel is also a freedom and knowledge fighter he has filed
freedom of information requests before as you can see he took some amazing
images showing the area 51 base he got away
with this because he was told the area was clear and that he could go in he was
able to skirt around the perimeter so he wasn't shot down
and he released all of these images on a google drive document for us to see
gabriel told the drive that he's had an interest in military airspace for a
while and he figured he had to go check it out
he said he had no special authorization to fly in the airspace
but that did not stop him capturing amazing images
these are as up to date as we can get and as you can see the base has
many buildings unfortunately though gabriel caught no ufos
i guess anything like that happens underground but some area 51 tests do
happen above ground for example that of the u2 spy plane however this was
successfully kept a secret until it was finally publicly released
bomb tests we've already seen the aftermath of
some explosive tests done by area 51 but here is a cia photo of one of those
tests actually happening this was from the hood boom as you can
see there's a radioactive cloud of smoke rising from it
also to the right the landscape can be seen to be on fire
richard mingus a security guard present at the time says he saw a massive
explosion he also had to drive right through
ground zero to set up a guard post by area 51's guard gate
this was so no one could see the explosion from any angle
this image is not of an explosion going off but it's arguably more scary
the black device attached to this balloon is a 74 kiloton atomic bomb
and its code name was hurt it's the bomb we saw exploding before
this is the largest atmospheric nuclear weapon ever exploded in the usa
this photo was taken by alfred o'donnell who used to work for the national
nuclear security administration he stood on top of a ladder and took this minutes
before it was detonated this was all on area 51 grounds and took
place quite a while back this was during the cold war between the
usa and the soviet union it's hard to imagine now but back then
the soviets thought they would be muted any minute by the usa
and the americans thought they would be nuked by the soviets at any moment too
tick-a-boo peak
i've already mentioned ticaboo peak and it's a very important location that's
because it's the single remaining place the public can get a view into area 51.
you'll likely need to camp out and then hike up and you'll also need a gigantic
telescope camera but if you have the willpower and resources for that
then you can take some amazing images inside the area 51 base
some great youtubers for example ufo seekers have done this before
another great channel named ferreo did the same thing
they were filming with a telescope so the detail is not perfect
but they got a great view of the runway which drops off the employees
every morning a secret airline known as janet airlines
takes off from mccarran airport in las vegas
it then lands at area 51 dropping off all of the employees every day
another great and brave youtuber known as adventures with christian also went
to ticaboo pig he got even clearer video of the base he
caught security cars driving around the base and at one point
he even captures a janet jet on the move just think about the
secrets the employees sitting in that plane know but talking
of planes let's see some of the images of
the main thing area 51 is built for allegedly
planes are aliens and ufos housed in area 51
we can't say for sure but what we do know and some say is even more scary is
there's lots of secretive planes in the base
some of these are fighter jets which can drop bombs
some are unmanned predator drones which are super scary
and others are secretive reconnaissance planes designed for gathering
information and spying take a look at this image of one of the
early u2 spy planes this image was taken on the area 51
flight line and a worker standing on the wing
this is a mock-up of an ox-cart plane the image was taken even before the cia
contract was officially secured and the modern version of the ox card is
the blackbird at a cost of 34 million dollars it's
said to be one of the fastest and most secretive planes in the world as of 2020
it still holds the world record for the fastest aircraft in the world
this image taken over are 51 is an a12 plane
during a test flight there are two canopies one for the instructor pilot
and one for the trainee this image is an a12 landing on the
runway and this is one of the first images ever of a youtube spy plane
all of the indicators of ownership and naca designation have been removed
this image is from a cia project named tagboard
as you can see there's an ox-cart plane with a drone on its back
the ox-cart spy plane was designed to take off and then drop the drone off
in mid-air and this much more modern image of area 51 shows a predator drone
this is the current preferred method of dropping bombs on people
but of course that's been declassified who knows what they're working on now
which has yet to be declassified either way it's cool to see inside this
space as many people don't realize there's any photos from inside it but
now it's time to make your voice heard comment below if you think that we
should storm area 51 if you want some more amazing videos
then check out my second channel but as always thanks for watching there are
some more videos on screen right now leave a like if you enjoyed and if you
haven't already what are you waiting for subscribe to Top 10s
