What are they hiding on Nevada's AREA 51 ?

Because of it's remote location, it's quite possible that military testing of some sort that has the potential to harm people is or has been conducted there.\n\nIt's also possible that experimental military aircraft have been or are being tested there.\n\nWhile it's possible that some kind of space debris (either of terrestial or otherworldly origin) has been taken there, I don't think there are any bodies or spacecraft or any huge cover-ups.  I don't think that level of security could be maintained for this long a time.  SOMEBODY would have produced some kind of REAL evidence by now.\n\nBut it's such a fun fantasy to believe, and I believe our government does take advantage of the mysterious, mythical nature of the site to do real top-secret things there.  After all, what better way to hide the more mundane truth than with an elaborate and fanciful lie?

It's not, at least not any more.\n\nOriginally a top secret site where futuristic planes such  as the U2 Spyplane and the B2 Stealth Bomber were first tested it has since become a "defunct" base, kept alive on a care and maintenance basis only.\n\nThis has been largely due to the publicity it received as the USA's top "Black Ops" test site during the 60's an early 70's.\n\nAlthough any new "planes" are now tested at the Andrew's Air Force Base, people are still spell-bound at the thought of Area-51 and many false rumors exist about "crashed UFO's being housed there".\n\nThe reality is that there are more civilians working there now than military staff - hardly something that would be done at a top secret military site.\n\nIn addition, you can now buy extremely high quality satellite photographs of the base courtesy of the Russian military, who sold many of the pictures to budding entrepreneurs looking to make a quick buck by selling them to "UFO hunters".

There are so many inexplicable details I have read regarding the an alien spaceship crashing in Roswell NM, which supposedly resulted in alien bodies being stored in AREA 51.\n\nIf there was really no crash, why did the military and the government threaten so many people to keep silent about what they saw?  Why was the area sealed off and every inch combed by hundreds of military personnel?

In the summer of 1988 a nuclear physicist named Bob Lazar, worked at the S-4 test site (approx. 10 miles south of Area 51) from December 1988 to March 1989, where he took part in the back-engineering of extra-terrestrial craft. \n\nLazar claimed that they he was able to acquire a piece of the fuel that powered the craft - Element 115, conducting several experiments that proved the high gravitational attraction and heaviness of the element, among other things. Though apparently, this evidence was ‘stolen’ back.\nAround March 1989 Bob Lazar, Reporter John Lear, Gene Huff and others organised several trips into the desert to view test flights from a distance. \n\nOn one of these excursions Lear witnessed a glowing yellow-orange disc-shaped object that rose above the mountains at Groom Lake - luckily Lear managed to catch a glimpse of this through a Celestron telescope. On one of these trips, the group was eventually caught, and shortly thereafter Bob Lazar ceased working at the test site.\n\nIn late 1989 KLAS-TV reporter George Knapp interviewed John Lear, which resulted in Knapp interviewing Bob Lazar and breaking the Area 51 / S-4 story to the public.

Well, obviously anyone who could really answer that question is barred by U.S. law from doing so -jeopardizing national security & all that.  Best guess: It's a research & development facility for new aircraft & technologies.  Not so much with actual designs -Boeing, Lockheed, et al take care of most of that.  But it's an ideal place to test new weapons & systems -Groom Lake, the area in Nevada where the site is located (or not, so to speak), is within or at least next to the Nellis AFB testing area (Red Flag, I think it's called).  It's also a good place to try out the prototypes of the new F-35 the Air Force & Navy are building -lots of space to do it, & no chance anyone who they don't want to show it to can see it.\n\n     As to the legality, Area 51's not the only place where they can shoot trespassers.  CIA Headquarters in Langley, VA is the same way, as are a number of other facilities both here in the U.S. & abroad -the guards are authorized to stop any potential threat to sites important to national security.  Though, usually, they try & give people warnings that they've entered an area they shouldn't be in.

Not over the entire Area 51.   Unlike much of the Nellis range, the area surrounding the Groom Lake is permanently off-limits both to civilian and normal military air traffic. The area is protected by radar stations, and uninvited guests are met by helicopters and armed guards. Should they accidentally stray into the exclusionary "box" surrounding Groom's airspace, even military pilots training in the NAFR are reportedly grilled extensively by military intelligence agents.\n\nPerimeter security is provided by uniformed private security guards working for EG&G, who patrol in desert camouflage Jeep Cherokee and Hum-Vee vehicles, and more recently champagne coloured Ford F-150 pickups and gray Chevy 2500 4X4 pickups. Although the guards are armed with M16s, no violent encounters with Area 51 observers have been reported; instead the "camo dudes" generally follow visitors near the perimeter and radio for the Lincoln County sheriff. Modest fines (of around $600) seem to be the norm, although some visitors and journalists report receiving follow-up visits from FBI agents. Some observers have been detained on public land for pointing camera equipment at the base. Surveillance is also conducted using buried motion sensors and by HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopters.

Civilians workers are flown there every day from Vegas, to work on classified high-tech aircraft.  I doubt whether there are stolen russian technology there, my worry is the Russian lack ot technology to take care of the aging nuclear stockpiles they already have.

It is not clear What is going on in Area 51, but it is clear that something that common people doesn't have to know about it. It is one of the most secure place on the surface of earth. \nHowever, many people just say that there is test site for UFO, new age air-craft, and some of the most secret weapons in the U.S.\nI hope it helps you get an idea what is Area 51

Area 51, also known as Groom Lake, is a secret military facility about 90 miles north of Las Vegas. The number refers to a 6-by-10-mile block of land, at the center of which is a large air base the government will not discuss. The site was selected in the mid-1950s for testing of the U-2 spyplane, due to its remoteness, proximity to existing facilities and presence of a dry lake bed for landings. Groom Lake is America's traditional testing ground for "black budget" aircraft before they are publicly acknowledged. The facility and surrounding areas are also associated -- with varying levels of credibility -- with UFO and conspiracy stories. In 1989, Bob Lazar claimed on a Las Vegas television station that he had worked with alien spacecraft at Papoose Lake, south of Area 51. Since then, "Area 51" has become a popular symbol for the alleged U.S. Government UFO cover-up. \n\nHope that was helpful.

The area is Nellis Air Force Range and nuclear test site, more commonly known as Area 51, (the name is derived from the way the country was divided according to old maps). It was founded in 1954 and its exact location is at the heart of area 51, Groom Lake. But you can't go there, you can't even take a photograph without the risk of being fined, sent to jail or even killed. \nIn fact, the military denied its very existence until they were forced to admit it in 1994.

There are tons of stuff the government keeps from the public.I think its a conspiracy.

Be careful especially if you are in California.  Area 52 (area 51 is a misdirection) is in California.  Flying saucers have been coming to California for decades, abducting people onto the saucers, probing them, then returning them to earth/California where they become California democrats.  Thousands of Californians will testify under oath to that abduction, and they are all democrats.  If they are not democrats probably they are faking it.

Do you mean Area 51? That's a military base at Groom Lake, Nevada, where they did advanced aircraft and weapons testing.
