Area 51, in the desert outside Las Vegas, Nevada, is a place so mysterious that for years the U.S. government wouldn't admit it existed. Cloaked in secrecy, the restricted military zone is now known to play a key role in American aeronautics and defense. But conspiracy theories about extraterrestrial activity in the area persist: flying saucer remains, aliens, UFOs/UAPs. For readers age 12 and up, this title investigates the phenomena surrounding Area 51, from historical accounts and popular myths to hard facts, evidence, and notable truth-seekers. Includes a glossary, index, sidebars, and further resources
