Before almost 1 Million people would sign up for the Facebook event “Storm Area 51,
They Can’t Stop All Of Us“ which would set the internet ablaze with meme's.
Before public interest would result in the passing route 375 being renamed the 'Extraterrestrial
Highway' by the state of Nevada and Area 51 would be featured in the film Independence
Day.
Before Area 51 would become the source location for never ending conspiracy theories about
extra terrestrial life including reverse engineering Alien technology, experiments on Alien life,
cross breeding, time travel and more.
Area 51 also known as Homey Airport, Groom Lake, Site II, Dreamland and Paradise Ranch
has been fascinating the world since the CIA set up the test facility back in 1955.
It would take 50 years before the American government would publicly acknowledged the
base's existence and declassify documents detailing it's history and purpose.
Despite their claims that it's simply a test facility for man made military air crafts
most people are convinced.
At the time of this recording the internet has banned together in hopes of freeing them
aliens!
I've looked into the details about breaking into this base and it's no easy task.
The place is heavily guarded with CCTV cameras, buried motion sensors and camo dudes carrying
M16's who have the authority to use deadly force on anyone who dares to trespass.
With that said, have they been trained for Naruto Runners?
What's going on guys?
It's your boy Michael McCrudden and I'll be driving through the Nevada desert this coming
weekend with my girlfriend.
Were heading to LA and driving to Veges.
If enough of you guys hit me with some DM's over on Instagram at McCruddenM I might just
make a detour to Area 51.
Earlier this year we hit you guys with a Before They Were Famous on the Ancient Aliens guy
and if you guys like this video we could make one of Lil Mayo.
You know this guy...
Just for reference, the famous alien crash that happened in Roswell New Mexico took place
in 1947.
You can imagine the CIA needed a place to test their weather balloons in more privacy.
Previous to this during World War 2, the airfield on the Groom Lake site began service in 1942
as Indian Springs Air Force Auxiliary Field and consisted of two unpaved 5000-foot runways.
Attracted by it's remote location for secrecy CIA director Clarence "Kelly" Johnson took
ownership of the airfield in 1955 and began development and test flights for the Lockheed
U-2.
A plane that provided day and night, all weather, high altitude intelligence gathering equipment
– meaning if something was gonna spot a UFO it probably be this bad boy.
The Nevada desert also offers a mild climate allowed for few delays in test runs.
The lakebed of Groom Lake offered an ideal strip of land for take offs and landing and
the surrounding mountains made it hard for outsiders to access.
Eventually efforts were made to shut down outside activities like the local mining which
pushed away most locals in the area.
It's proximity to Las Vegas made it easily accessible for crew and supply runs and Clarence
"Kelly" Johnson went around calling the place the The Paradise Ranch in an attempt to get
workers to move there which at first was a bit of a stretch for a namesake.
In it's first year of operation Area 51 was little more than a runway, a couple of hangers,
some trailers and storage tanks.
By 1962 the place had been built up offer 130 long term housing complexes, the main
runway had doubled in size.
They could now hold over 1.3 million gallons of fuel and there were multiple hangers, buildings
– the place had become legit!
They began developing drones similar to the Lockhead U-2 but far more advanced as America
kept it's eyes on threats from like the Soviet Union and later Vietnam.
Throughout the 60's there were plenty of planes taking off from Area 51 hitting places all
over the world from SR-71 Blackbirds, and the A-12 or OXCART.
During these years there were constant reports of Unidentified Flying Objects being seen
in the sky around the base.
These objects were described as moving faster than a bullet, fiery in appearance.
Many of these claims could easily be debunked as man made crafts but others were less convinced.
From the 70's a memo written by CIA director William Colby was found referred to the area
stating: “The CIA considered no other spot on Earth
to be as sensitive as Groom Lake.”
People suspected all sorts of things were going down at Area 51.
Reverse engineering of alien spacecrafts.
Meetings with extraterrestrials.
Experiments on dead or alive aliens.
Time travel and teleportation technology, cloning alien viruses, developing advanced
weapons, weather control and underground tunnels and laboratories also cross breeding.
In the 80's, Area 51 was responsible for the development of the F-117 Nighthawk before
it was moved to another airbase in Nevada.
This was the same decade that gave the public wild revelations from former base employees
like Bob Lazar who spoke about their on alien technology.
Bob Lazar a physicist and scientist who worked on reverse engineering alien spacecraft in
a base near Area 51.
I watched the recent Netflix doc on Bob Lazar who still stands by his revelations to the
world which put his life at risk.
There were several spacecraft with space bending technology that was impossible to have come
from this earth.
Others have also made claims about working at the base, some with aliens one named J-Rod
who was telepathic.
I actually found video of a J Rod Interview:
There were also mysterious deaths surrounding a number of base workers.
Conspiracy theories began to snowball and Area 51 became the mecca for Alien and UFO
enthusiasts.
The first episode of Star Trek aired in 1966.
Close Encounters of Third Kind hit theatres in 1977 same as the first Star Wars film.
Aliens in 1979 and by then the culture had exploded – these were the days before the
internet.
With so much public interest the small local town of Rachel Nevada, current population
of around 51 people transformed their burger shop into an alien themed restaurant.
There is also a 12 room motel and a small tourist shop.
Plenty of YouTubers have gone for themselves and it appears everyone regrets
the voyage.
By 1995 Area 51 made great efforts to push back outside interest.
They expanded the surrounding borders of almost 4,000 acres laying fence and warning signs
including any nearby mountains that offered a view of their facilities and runway.
The perimeter of the base is marked out by orange posts reading that deadly forces is
authorized for trespassers.
The grounds are patrolled by guards in white pickup trucks and camouflage outfits – commonly
referred to as camo dudes.
The best bet to get a good view of the base is a spot known as Tikaboo Peak which is 26
miles away, again plenty of YouTubers have taken the hike.
It would take 50 years before the CIA publicly acknowledged the existence of the base declassifying
documents detailing the history and purpose of Area 51.
Aright, let's talk about this recent Facebook movement to storm the base.
On June 27th 2019, "Smyleekun" created the Facebook event "Storm Area 51, They Can't
Stop All of Us," scheduled to happen on September 20th, 2019.
The description reads,
"We will all meet up at the Area 51 Alien Center tourist attraction and coordinate our
entry.”
“If we Naruto run, we can move faster than their bullets.
Lets see them aliens."
The post went viral and everyone began sharring their own various plans of attack.
From Rock Throwers to Kyles with Monster Energy and Clickbait Vloggers & more
the internet had it's fun.
So much so that Area 51 had to release a statement.
“(Area 51) is an open training range for the U.S. Air Force, and we would discourage”
“anyone from trying to come into the area where we train American armed forces.”
“The U.S. Air Force always stands ready to protect America and its assets.”
I got a feeling something is still gonna go down.
I'm down to even go there myself but you guys gotta hit me up in the DM's to make it worth
it.
As for the rest of the story, well we are gonna wrap this one up here because this is
Before They Were Famous.
My name is Michael McCrudden...
