In the heart of the Nevada desert is one of the most legendary and talked about locations in the United States... despite the fact that, until a decade ago, it "officially" didn't exist. However, since the late 1980s, the secret Air Force installation known as Area 51 has remained almost synonymous with UFOs, thanks in large part to Bob Lazar, a man who in addition to claiming to have worked there, also said he saw recovered alien craft at the base.
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we go in pursuit of the modern legends that have become associated with Area 51, how it became a mainstay of American conspiracy theories, and look at the history--as well as the speculations--involving America's best-known secret base.
