Many who believe that aliens crashed in Roswell, New Mexico are certain that the remains were brought here. I also knew how I could see Area 51 for myself. Along the highway are two entrance points, one to the front gate and the other to the back gate. Since it has become a de facto tourist attraction and since, presumably, important military work is still conducted there, privacy is at a premium.
Driving from the small town of Alamo, I knew that my first opportunity would take place about 19 miles after leaving the Alien Research Center. There, between mile markers 30 and 29 is a road leading off to the left. That road continues to the front gate of Area I was torn. I hate breaking rules, it goes against every fiber of my being and yet I really wanted to see Area 51 for myself.
I felt that it was nearly criminal to be that close and not even try, and yet I kept the car on the highway, never veering off. Culture Explainer. Why two million people signed up to storm Area 51 The secret military base's history reveals its enduring appeal and what might be lurking inside. Two humans and their backseat stowaway drive to Roswell, New Mexico, famous for a supposed alien spaceship crash in Some conspiracy theorists believe remains from the Roswell crash were taken to Area 51, a secret military base near Rachel, Nevanda, to study.

Soon there were not one, but TWO Area 51 festivals scheduled, and public fascination with UFOs and top secret testing areas in Nevada seemed to be at an all-time high.
At one point, talk of running into the restricted access area seemed to dial back. Permitting troubles for Storm Area 51 may have helped event planners realize they had compliance issues to contend with. The entire viral meme may have started as a joke or a PR stunt to promote an Area themed party, but Nevada authorities had no choice but to deal with the potential problems the meme suggested could have happened.
Then the RSVP list grew to 2 million. Published reports have quotes from at-the-time law enforcement officials discussing what can happen when people start hovering around Area The land surrounding the facility is public. Visitors are free to approach the gate and the signs surrounding the base, but moving beyond the fence into the installation is not allowed.
Violations of the perimeter are taken very seriously. Those who breach Area 51 security are liable to be detained, held for long periods of time likely longer than any prankster or curiosity seeker is willing to submit to , and eventually released IF their conduct was deemed unworthy of further legal attention.
The land around Area 51 is also littered with sensors and monitoring equipment to detect intruders and over-zealous adventurers. Usually, trespassers spend the night in jail and are issued a healthy fine. Although the signs around the base warn that lethal force is authorized, we are unaware of anyone actually being shot or killed by a Camo Dude, although the dudes have reportedly harassed base viewers on occasion.
And there is really no way to pull it off; security is far too tight, and the government has had more than half a century to perfect it.
You would have to get past sensors, cameras, monitors, and Camo Dudes for some 15—20 miles, only to face formidable security at the base itself. In other words, everything you saw in that found-footage movie called Area 51 is just plain fantasy.
The land surrounding the Area 51 restricted zone is actually public land—not only can you walk freely on it, but you can camp there, too, and some people do just that. With caution! This is the desolate high desert, with few public services, and few people, for that matter. Running out of water or even gasoline can mean death.
That public land has quite a few unpaved sandy, bumpy roads, and some of them, like Groom Lake Road, lead across the border into base territory. Warning signs on the border are spaced about 50 yards roughly 50 meters apart—you do not dare cross. Way back before Area 51 was the most famous secret base in the world, rancher Steve Medlin had a black mailbox on Highway in Nevada.
Later, it became a really obvious place to meet if you were a UFO hunter or an adventurer trying to get to the border of Area
