1st UFO sighting
June 25, 1947. Mr. Kenneth Arnold was
taking a ride in his airplane. He saw 9
unidentifiable figures in the distance.
Estimated speed- 1,700 mph. Arnold
followed the figures for 2 and a half
minutes, and then they were no where
to be found.
What is Area 51?
Area 51 was never supposed to “exist”
for an average human. It was supposed
to be an UFO cover up, and it was
supposed to hold extra terrestrial
secrets. Area 51 was exposed in the
1990’s, and soon enough, everyone
knew about it. It lies roughly 90 miles
north of Las Vegas, Nevada.
What is a UFO?
A UFO is supposed to be an alien
spacecraft. Some people claim to see
these UFO’s. A common shape for a
UFO is a saucer, or a flying disc. UFO
sightings became popular after the
Sputnik, a Russian object, was launched
into space.
What is an alien?
An alien is another life-form that we
know nothing on. Nobody knows if they
are real or not, or where they live, or
how they live. People claim to have
seen aliens, or even abducted. Nobody
knows if they are real. Nobody knows if
the government is hiding the truth from
us. If they are, it could be for a good
cause. It could also just be that they
don’t want us to know.
History of aliens
In ancient times, people painted pictures
in caves near France and Australia.
They looked like what we know as aliens
and UFO’s. The UFO’s looked like flying
saucers. The figures (aliens) looked like
they had helmets on.
Men in Black?
Some people insist that after a UFO
sighting, Men in Black (not the movie)
come to the door. The Men in Black tell
the people that they should have never
seen what they did. Their voices sound
electronic…. Could they be aliens too?
Area 51 facts
Controlled by the US Air Force Flight
Test Center
 US government has closed viewpoints
of the area
 An US military base

Roswell UFO Crash
In July 1947 there was a supposed UFO
crash. A rancher found burnt metal and
strange numbers and letters on the
pieces of metal. He called the police.
The police called the military.
The…..Government?
Some people are questioning “What is the
government really hiding from us?” Who
knows? Some people are saying that the
government could be hiding the secret of
aliens and UFO’s. Are they? Are they
keeping secret, so nobody knows that aliens
are watching us at night? Or do they hold a
secret about the powers they posses?
Nobody knows…..
The F-117 Project
The Lockheed Have Blue first flew at
Groom in December 1977. It tested a
series of ultra-secret prototypes until
mid-1981. No reports have been made
about sightings.
Do you believe in aliens?
The question has been going around for
a long time “Are there really aliens?”
Some people do believe, and some do
not. There are big arguments on
whether they are real. This case has
been going on for a long while. So, do
you believe in aliens, or are they just
another fictional character?
Are there any places around
Area 51?
You are probably thinking “It is the
desert…. are there any places around
Area 51?” Well, there is a dried up lake
named Groom Lake, which is where a
lot of testing is done.
Alien and UFO sightings
Are aliens real? Ask someone that has
“seen” one. People say they see lights
and aircrafts moving at incredible
speeds. Some people say they have
seen and encountered aliens. All of the
non-believers could be believers in a
matter of seconds…..
The Aurora SR-X
Some people think it is fake, but is it?
 Length- About 110 ft.
 Width- About 60 ft.
 Take of thrust- probably very high
 Speed- Mach 6-20 ( 1 mach is the
speed of sound, roughly 761.2 mph)
 The Suntan could have been used to
make this aircraft.
Area 51 Aircrafts
The U-2 Spyplane was Area 51’s first
aircraft. It was used to spy on the
Russians before the plane was shot down
in 1960.
 The SR-71 is the fastest plane in the world
 The Tacit Blue has new stealth technology.
Because of the stealth, it looks very
strange.
 The Black Mantis is not known to exist, but
could be. It is rumored to be stealthier than
the F-117A

More Area 51 Aircrafts
The Brilliant Blizzard is very large, and
can launch a smaller aircraft.
 The X-33 is sort of a space shuttle, but
can go up to speeds of Mach 13!
 The F-22 is as stealthy as the F-117A
but more maneuverable.
 The Switchblade is a plane with Mach 3
speed, is maneuverable, and can drop
bombs.

SR-71, the Fastest Plane
in the World
The SR-71 is the fastest plane in the
world, and can go up to Mach 3.5 (2,500
mph) Some say it is rivaled by X-33
(Mach 13) which is not technically a
plane.
The Controversy
Is it all real, or all fake? Many believe
that it was fake, but some have
“witnessed” these events. All of the
aircrafts, the UFO’s, and the aliens. It
doesn’t make any sense. Which side of
the controversy are you on? Do you
believe? Or do you think that it is just all
made up?
