Behind the curtain of the United States' most secretive military base, Area 51
NY Post ^ | May 15, 2011 | ANNIE JACOBSEN

So, what of those urban legends — the UFOs studied in secret, the underground tunnels connecting clandestine facilities? For decades, the men at Area 51 thought they’d take their secrets to the grave. At the height of the Cold War, they cultivated anonymity while pursuing some of the country’s most covert projects. Conspiracy theories were left to popular imagination. But in talking with Collins, Lovick, Slater, Barnes and Martin, it is clear that much of the folklore was spun from threads of fact.

As for the myths of reverse-engineering of flying saucers, Barnes offers some insight: “We did reverse engineer a lot of foreign technology, including the Soviet MiG fighter jet out at the Area” — even though the MiG wasn’t shaped like a flying saucer. As for the underground-tunnel talk, that, too, was born of truth. Barnes worked on a nuclear-rocket program called Project NERVA, inside underground chambers at Jackass Flats, in Area 51’s back yard. “Three test-cell facilities were connected by railroad, but everything else was underground,” he says.

and all....

My theory is that the 0bama regime have a prototype time machine stashed away at Rosewell in area 52.....

it's not a complete time machine allowing operatives to be transported backwards and returned....

However, it at least allows connection into a parallel universe where 0bambi was born in the USA....

If you look at the image provided by the White House you see the birth certificate entering from the parallel universe from the slot on the left...takes form and appears as a whole page...

problem solved.

PS...can I get a page or two of next weeks horse racing results? thanks in advance

Looks like some very interesting articles about Area 51 are going to be coming out.

Sounds like some clever disinformation using true facts to mislead.

Must be the two in suits. The other guy was my neighbor when I lived in Las Vegas in the 80’s.
