Exploring the Secrets of Area 51: Why They Would Be Difficult to Discover

The enigmatic Area 51, located in the Nevada desert, has long been a fascination for conspiracy theorists and supporters of unsolved mysteries. The recent planning for a new reconnaissance mission has once again brought the site into the limelight. But if there were secrets in Area 51, would the government move them now that the plan is set for September 2023?

Secrets and Their Disappearance

Even if the government does move something from Area 51, it would likely have happened long ago due to the attention brought to the site by the Bob Lazar story. Robert Lazar, a former engineer who claims to have worked on crashed extraterrestrial craft at the facility, revealed his experiences in 1989. This dramatic revelation led to a surge in public interest and speculation about the purported activities at the remote base.

Given the high level of security and the significant changes made to the site over the years, it's highly unlikely that anything of significant value or importance would remain readily accessible on the surface. Most items of value are likely either underground or placed on classified remote Pacific or Indian Ocean atolls. The notion that anything of worth could simply be moved or hidden is challenging for both the public and government officials.

Security Measures and Their Effectiveness

The security at Area 51 is incomparable to other military installations in the region. In order to understand the level of protection in place, one must first recognize the formidable nature of the fortress-like base. Tonopah is described as a highly secured location, making it a much less accessible and exploitable site compared to Nellis Air Force Base, Dugway Proving Ground, or other military compounds.

Should individuals attempt to access Area 51, they face a series of formidable barriers. Upon entering the 'green zone,' they would encounter a series of deterrents designed to repel potential intruders. This includes Mace and pepper spray, as well as less lethal devices such as blinding lights, ear-piercing noise, and sticky gels. Paranoia and anticipatory escalation are constant. Entering the 'orange zone' subjects them to more severe measures, such as rubber bullets and physical restraints. These extremes would only escalate further, making unauthorized entry nearly impossible in the 'red zone,' where unexploded ordnance, toxic chemicals, radiation, and private contractors — often former Special Forces — are all present.

Legal and Ethical Considerations

However, the question of whatqualifies as 'secret' is complex. Within the hierarchy of security and need-to-know, everything at Area 51 is subject to physical and digital security measures. The thought that the government could simply move items out of Area 51 and conceal them elsewhere is plausible but not without its own challenges:

First, any move or change in activity would require a certain level of coordination and stealth that goes beyond the current baseline security measures. The psychological effect of moving or concealing information, while theoretically possible, is far more intricate than a simple shift in location. Also, the legal implications of such actions would be significant, particularly in terms of maintaining national security and reducing public awareness.

Second, even if top secret materials were moved, the fact remains that if individuals stormed the base, they would have the legal right to use deadly force to defend the installations. This is a stark reminder of the serious nature of the threat and the preparedness of the government to protect its assets and secrets.

At the end of the day, the security at Area 51 is so stringent that the very idea of uncovering secrets by storming the base is misguided. The site has undergone extensive changes, and its current state makes it virtually impossible for intruders, even those armed with rabid determination, to succeed.

Key Takeaways:

Security Changes: Significant alterations have been made to the site, particularly after the Bob Lazar revelations. Access Barriers: Extensive physical and psychological barriers are in place to deter unauthorized access. Legal Rights: Regardless of what is stored at Area 51, storming the base would be met with legal recourse, including the right to use lethal force.

The mystery and allure of Area 51 continue to enthrall fans of unusual phenomena and conspiracy theories. However, the current security measures and the nature of the site make the idea of easily uncovering secrets a distant fantasy.
