area 51

             fluorescent light switch, and copper tubing coils. The exact definition of.
             this object was still unknown, but people had their own ideas (Las Vegas 1).
             The 509th Bombardment of Roswell believed it to be a flying saucer,.
             as many had in the town. Lieutenant Warren Haught, a member of the.
             Bombardment, and the one to accept it from the rancher after it was found,.
             commented in the Roswell paper on July 8, a flying saucer is what he.
             believed it to be (Roswell 7). On July 9, the Headquarters of the 8th Army.
             at Fortworth, Texas, stated in the Las Vegas Review Journal that it was ".
             simply the remnants of a weather balloon". Roswell believed it was nothing.
             but a prank (Las Vegas 1).
             People started to believe that maybe it was a prank, or any other.
             explanation the government had for it, until Lt. Haught started getting.
             threatening calls from Washington to "shut up" (Roswell 7). Why was the.
             government so nervous, and where is this "higher authorization setting".
             that the disc was sent to? One of the three most suspected places is Area.
             51 (Misage 21).
             Roswell was just the beginning of this great mystery. Ten miles.
             East of the Area 51 location, there is the "Little A'le'inn", a restaurant.
             and hotel owned by Pat Travis. It has been a main tourists attraction for.
             23 years. There is no doubt in Travis's mind that Area 51 is the home of.
             abnormal life.
             Travis states: "I've been here for almost 25 years, and people.
             have repeatedly come in and said that they have seen strange lights in the.
             skies above it (Area 51). I was skeptical , until I saw them too (Misage.
             32)".
             Art Bell, another resident of Rachel, Nevada, owns a radio show.
             which gets 10 million listeners a night, and airs over 400 stations across.
             the United States. His front door is just 45 miles away from Area 51.
             Everyday, Bell sees helicopters flying through the sky, and disappearing.
             over the hills into Area 51 (Hammen 62).
             Every night his radio station talks of his experience and others.
