Of course, any story with Roswell has to include Area 51. I learned a couple of interesting facts about the site (from this article: 15 Far-Out Facts About Area 51).
During Area 51’s heyday as a testing site, engineer Kelly Johnson had an idea to convince government workers and their families to pick up and move to the middle of the desert, according to Time Magazine. He nicknamed the place “Paradise Ranch.” It’s paradise all right — if you like desert scrubland and temperatures that regularly hit 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees C) in the summer.
There may be no good evidence that the military captured and studied UFOs at Area 51, but files revealed that America did test “secretly obtained” Soviet MiG fighters during the Cold War of the 1970s and 1980s. These secretive projects were dubbed HAVE DOUGHNUT, HAVE DRILL and HAVE FERRY.
