Is the government hiding something in Area 51?

If the government is willing to kill by presence on the restricted area, what could the government be hiding that is so secretive?

Every government everywhere has something it wants to hide. I'm willing to bet that whatever Area 51 has, its capable of killing millions really fast.

Side: YES, No doubt

yes they are even hiding things from the government. remember independence day? the president did not even know they found a alien ship 50 years ago. i bet some thing like that is going on right now.

You're evidence is a scene from a science fiction movie?

first of all it was more of a joke. and second it was a good example of how possibly secretive area 51 was. so no my evidence is not from a movie and you would be dumb to think it was.

Side: YES, No doubt

Well, I mean, all governments hide some things. I believe that is one of the top secret areas or round there about (I actually just think specifically area 51 is just a tourist attraction now) so naturally... I don't believe it is anything scandelous, no more so than any other nation hides. Some secrecy is essential so long as laws are not broken.

I guarantee there are no aliens there though if that is what we are getting at here.

no i wasn't as i pointed out. it was more of a joke type thing. but yes government has to hide some things. for instance technology or battle strategies.

there was one such incident of where a reporter actual grabbed a stick and drew on the ground the battle plans of a air born squad mission. and the public wonders why they don't like the media.

Side: YES, No doubt

Yes, they are hiding something; if that were not the case, there would be no reason for secretiveness.

Side: YES, No doubt

Of course theres something in Area 51, I dont understand how you can think otherwise. When they have a base in the middle of the desert with signs saying No trespassing beyond this point, Use of deadly force is authorized. The fact that there wiling to kill to make sure you dont see anything kinda hints that there hiding something.

Look at the universe and all the sightings of ufo's! The government has so many secrets and experiments that could turn the whole human race against them! The president is just their puppet , the government has control of the president and can tell him to say the things they want him to say. If they are willing to kill people that walk onto area 51 ...there is no doubt they are hiding something !

Side: YES, No doubt

the government has control of the president

No one person has control of the United State Government. That is the way it was setup.

The president is just their puppet

Plausible deniability

Side: NO, Not hiding anything

It is a restricted military installation, and prototypes of various military vehicles have been constructed and tested there in years past, and they haven't shut it down. Obviously they are keeping information from the public and potential enemies of the United States. I doubt they are hiding alien spaceships there though.

yeah i agree with all of your statements about area 51 hiding something from us all. and about the movie independence day, yea i agree it is probably just like that.

Side: YES, No doubt

When the first atom bomb was tested, Oppenheimer thought there could be a chance that it would set the atmosphere on fire. The test continued. Our government hides many things from us. That is just but one. Why would you doubt that a top secret military installation has something they are hiding there?

They must be hiding the only known intelligent republician, there aren't any to be found else-were. If Area 51 doesn't have one, than there is none in existance.

If you believe there is a reasonable suspicion that the government is hiding something, Area 51 is the last place to pursue such a suspicion.

Side: NO, Not hiding anything

true. but were more of just think tanking about the possibility of secrets being kept from the public, or at least i am.

Side: YES, No doubt

I hope so. They are supposedly working on hypersonic UAV's. there have been sonic booms and unconfirmed sightings. I wouldn't want the public to know about top secret, classified projects.

Side: NO, Secretive is good

at one time they may have been hiding something, but now, with the term "area 51" being widely known and discussed, as well as it's location known and ability to see it with satellite imaging; the base losses much of it's secrecy and as such the original purpose for the base is lost, however, it provides an unique opportunity to re purpose the base. If they continue superficial activity at the base, they can continue the real work in another location while public eye is looking towards area 51

Side: No not anylonger

probably drawing attention away from another project. this is assuming they do have a secret.
