Area 51½ – Our Newest Client
Area 51 – everyone’s heard of it at least once, and we’re pleased to announce Area 51 ½ as PropertyRoom.com’s newest client. Any alien enthusiasts among our bidder base? Or perhaps any conspiracy theorists?
We’re certainly excited about the possibilities that come with a client like Area 51 ½. Everyone has heard of Area 51, but Area 51 1/2* is a lesser known area where we can only imagine the mysteries hidden behind their closed doors. Here are some things we do know about the area surrounding Area 51 and 51 1/2 – at least, the things we’re allowed to share.
The Area around Area 51 and 51 1/2
- It has been said that Area 51 found its beginnings during the period of the U-2 aircraft development.
- The location was once known by a more enticing name – Paradise Ranch.
- Groom Lake, a dry salt flat, is part of the government installation. The closest civilian vantage point is 26 miles from Groom Lake – closer points were shut down in the late 90s due to people taking photos of Area 51.
- Even though U-2 operations at the site ended in the 1950s, other military aircraft were tested afterwards.
- Currently, it is not fully known what is going on at the location, though many speculate that work on stealth weapons and other devices has continued.
