Area 51

Host: Art Bell
Aired Date: June 06, 2002

Guest:
Bob Lazar

One night in May 1989, a reporter broadcast a story from a satellite link in Las Vegas Nevada. A young physicist spoke under hidden identity, and told us of nine alien discs held near Groom Lake by a small, autonomous group of the American goverment. He used the pseudonym "Dennis" which turned out to be the name of his superior at the base. A few weeks later he went on camera using his real name, Bob Lazar, and he has been the subject of world-wide curiosity, speculation and controversy ever since.

Area 51 wasn't the only installation that the government has tried to keep secret from enemy nations. During World War II, the Army cloaked the Lockheed aircraft plant in Burbank, California with an elaborate camouflage to protect it from potential Japanese air attacks.
