UFO enthusiasts visiting the mysterious Area 51 base have blasted the Pentagon's report as a "complete whitewash."

The US government this week admitted they could not explain 144 sightings of flying objects spotted since 2004.

In the much anticipated document, officials said that despite not finding any evidence the UFOs filmed by navy pilots were aliens, that "explanation can't be definitively ruled out."

Following the release of the report, alien conspiracy theorists have slammed the US government for allegedly hiding the truth from the public.

The Mirror spoke to several people near the Area 51 base in Nevada - where many people believe American authorities are hiding spacecrafts from another planet.

Misty Ingram, 40, of the Alien Research Centre located near the base, said: "They know full well what is out there, but they refuse to tell us the truth.

"It’s a complete whitewash. They want to feed us information bit by bit, to walk us into the water gradually, so as not to spark hysteria."
