An Area 51 researcher has said FBI agents burst into his home and handcuffed him at gunpoint before taking all his computers bid to silence him.

Joerg Arnu, who runs the popular Dreamland Resort website dedicated to the goings on at the mysterious base in Nevada, says the agents burst into his home in the dead of night last week.

Anru said his home in Las Vegas and also in the town of Rachel were searched by a "combined team" of the FBI and Air Force Office of Special Investigations.

He has now described to The Sun Online what happened on the November 3 raid as he was left terrified along with his girlfriend Rachel.

Arnu said the raid “happened without any warning” and “the doors were broken open” before him and Rachel “were detained and treated in the most disrespectful way”.

"I was asleep in bed. If there was a warning I did not hear it. I woke up from the sound of the door being broken down," he told The Sun Online.
