U.S. & World History – Area 51, also officially known as Groom Lake, is a remote detachment of Edwards Air Force Base created in 1955. For decades there has been swirling rumors that they are housing space aliens from distant worlds. Through declassified documents, the Pentagon is now admitting that there is also an Area 49 and 50. Area 51 appears to be the most upscale for humanoid creatures that arrived to earth in their own spacecraft, while Area 49 and 50 are for low income space aliens that came to our solar system by either hitchhiking or intergalactic public transportation.
