Area 52 is also called Tonopah Test Range.
In the early 80s, F-117 pilots based out of Nellis would fly back and forth to keep things secret.
A family member was one of the early F-117 pilots and commander of the 4450th TG in the early 80s.

Here's What You Need To Remember: Though the Pentagon admitted to the existence of a stealth jet in 1983, the secrecy surrounding the F-117 was so effective that the public never had any inkling of the Nighthawk’s true appearance, nor even its designation (widely believed to be the “F-19”) until was finally unveiled in 1988.

Ha, i can see someone doing that- pretty funny-
good find-
I can neither confirm nor deny this is true
“can anyone tell me what’s happened with FReeper sukhoi-30mki (apologies for my lack of HTML skills to link to his profile)?
I always enjoyed the hell out of his military themed threads, and he hasn’t been active since 7/10/2019. :(”
I have no idea, but he/she did post some good stuff.
Area 51 is All About Stealth Fighters, Not Aliens, says the man with “special insider access”, Sebastian Roblin apparently ...
Bob Lazar, among a host of others, would beg to differ but don’t let that get in the way, Roblin, kk?......
sukhoi-30mki: Last post was back in July
Actually true. My brother worked there.
Yes...July of 2019.
In late October of 2016, my 4th cousin from Massachusetts came to Maine to visit with us for the day.
I had not seen him in decades. He was in his late 70’s at the time, but looked like he was in his 40’s.
He mentioned that years earlier, he was in the U.S. Army.
He also said that not long ago, he, by chance, met an old Army buddy. His Army buddy apparently had been stationed at Area 51 in Nevada some time ago.
My cousin said he asked his former Army buddy, “Do they have UFOs there?”
His Army pal answered, “YES!”
I was a Tonopah attack MF in the late 80’s.
It was all stealth all the time.
Palmdale was the build.
Did he mention “Strawberry Ice Cream”?
The F117, when it was still above top secret, used to circle above Reno, around 6000-10000 ft (property closer to 10k), and it used to pass over my house.
My brother and I were Airforce brats, and he would drag me outside in the backyard, so we could watch it.
Not too many black triangles flying in blue skies at around 4pm, back in the late 80’s early 90’s.
This thing would approach Reno, from the South, fly over the airport, and then do a tight circle back South, and repeat, about five or so times.
Then it would make the last loop, and after it passed over the airport, it would circle around and leave the valley heading due South...(at the time nobody knew they were based in Tonopah, NV).
It was very cool to see it, and I guarantee, because it was so small, only a handful of people would even look up to notice it, because Reno always has small commercial jet aircraft flying around above it.
I seem to recall an old Art Bell show where somebody claimed that the Air Force did have an even more secret base that they had moved a lot of their testing to. Including the alien ships of course!
The Russians.
Ask the crew chief where it is.

COVID 19?
Obviously no signs of intelligent life there.
