NewsTrend99 - Puzzle one of the most mysterious places in the world, Area 51, revealed. Facilities owned by the United States military secrets in the Nevada desert were previously connected with UFO research by the U.S. military.

As reported by NBCnews, August 18, 2013, Area 51 was the facility to test the spy plane of the U.S., U-2, as well as other secret aircraft.

Certainty was revealed in a document titled "The Central Intelligence Agency and Overhead Reconnaissance: The U-2 and Oxcart Programs" owned agency CIA.

The document was actually released last June to meet FOI requests submitted National Security Archive, George Washington University in 2005. "This officially marks the completion of secrecy about the fact Area 51," said Jeffrey Richelson, a researcher of the National Security Archive.

The document also describes how U.S. military officials involved in the search for a suitable location for the trial project planning secret spy plane in the Nevada desert last April 1955.Finally, the military officials chose airstrip near Groom Lake or near the lake northeast Nevada Proving Ground, a facility owned by Energy Commissions (AEC).

Groom Lake facility has been used for the development of the successor spy plane. Including the Lockheed A-12 and D-21 Oxcart tagboard, stealth ground attack aircraft was also the only one in the world belong to the U.S. Air Force, the F-117.

Due to the confidential nature of the high and the facilities are heavily guarded, both from land and air, led to speculation that the facility was contained sightings of mysterious flying objects or UFOs for decades.

UFO sightings reported claims that it supported the lighting conditions in the afternoon in the air. Because, when the sun will sink, aircraft at an altitude of 20 thousand feet will appear dark, while the U-2 is still able to catch the glint of the sun light despite being at an altitude of 60 thousand feet.

The two authors also add the U-2 and Oxcart contribute more than half of all UFO reports of the 1950s and most reports in the 1960s, although this claim is disputed UFO investigator, Stanton Friedman.
