According to an aerospace insider, the top secret military base in Nevada known as Area 51 has good reason(s) for maintaining tight security in and around the facility. In fact, he says that the secretiveness for which Area 51 is famous is necessary and that this, of course, only provides fodder for more of — or the strengthening of — the conspiracy theories within which the base has become immersed over the years. So what is really going on at the Edwards Air Force Base facility?

Express posted July 6 an exclusive interview with Andre Milne, the founder of defense technology firm Unicorn Aerospace, and delved into the legendary and mysterious Area 51, something Milne is familiar with as a defense contractor. He was quick to note that it was true that the secret military facility was a center of activity for what are known as “Black Projects” — top secret military programs — by conspiracy theorists.

“Area 51 is a very well-secured US Air Force base that is mandated to test and evaluate the performance of experimental and or classified US military aircraft.”

Milne went on to say, “Area 51 is a highly-secured facility for the painfully obvious necessity to restrict any and or all witness observations of the classified aircraft and the advanced performance evaluations away from the multitude of individuals and governments that want nothing but to undermine US National Security.”

Wow.  Never knew that. To read more of this crap, click here. ;-)
