The existence of Area 51 and Groom Lake has appeared yesterday in
the most serious French newspaper,_Le Monde_, December 7, 1994. In
an article "Apres la mort de six techniciens - Un journal britannique
revele l'existence d'une base secrete dans le Nevada", _Le Monde_
quotes _The Observer_ which reports the existence of a secret military
base named "Area 51" in the Nevada. It is said that six people, one of
them named Robert Frost, died after manipulating dangerous materials.
They speak briefly also of the U2, Blackbird and Aurora. _The Observer_
(December 4) publishes also a photo made by an ex-Soviet satellite
(it seems that _Le Monde_ ignores the article published in _Popular
Science_ a few months ago).
