00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Next, what the U.S. military is doing to keep Area 51 a secret.

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,000
If you cross here, they can kill you.

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Here are some of the stories sightings is following in the news.

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:22,000
According to the U.S. government, Area 51, a super-secret military testing ground, does not exist.

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,000
But they're buying up all the land around it anyway.

6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Since the 1950s, the United States Air Force has allegedly operated a top-secret military testing facility

7
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,000
in this dry lakebed in the southern Nevada desert.

8
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Codenamed Area 51 and Dreamland, the base has long been rumored to be a center for black project research.

9
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Now, the U.S. government has begun seizing all the land around a base that does not officially exist.

10
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,000
It is a paradox that has not escaped the attention of dedicated ufologists.

11
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,000
This withdrawal was intended to obscure the secret base. In fact, it had the opposite effect.

12
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Everyone's heard of Area 51 now because they took this public action.

13
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Glenn Campbell is his self-described Area 51 activist and government watchdog.

14
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:15,000
He believes the military has initiated the purchase of land where civilians have taken unauthorized photographs.

15
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Freedom Ridge and Whitesides were places where the average citizen could go up and see this non-existent facility.

16
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:29,000
It's 13 miles away. You can't make out a lot of detail, but you can see hangar as you can see the longest runway in the world.

17
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,000
The reason they gave for this withdrawal is they needed it for the public safety.

18
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,000
They said they needed it to keep people from being hit by airplanes up there, which was plainly ridiculous.

19
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:44,000
And as the outside perimeter of Area 51 widens, so does the facility's mysterious security net.

20
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000
When Glenn Campbell led a sightings investigative team to the new boundary,

21
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:54,000
one of the infamous white Jeep Cherokees driven by men in camouflage fatigues appeared on the ridge.

22
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,000
OK, we're at the new border, Whitesides Mountain.

23
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Used to be able to drive all the way up this road another mile and then another mile hiked to the top of that peak

24
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,000
where you had a very clear and simple view of the base.

25
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,000
We've got the same new signs here. If you cross here, they can kill you.
