Shocking Images From Inside Area 51
1. A Glimpse Of Area 51
Somewhere deep in the Nevada desert is a place that is called Area 51. This is the infamous US air base, which has become the centre of much controversy and conspiracy theories. It is hard to get so much as a glimpse of this station, being so heavily guarded.Advertisement
2. A Large Square Building
It is where many believe that the military meet and communicate with aliens. The military has owned this plot since before World War Two, and before Obama declared its position it had had never previously been pinpointed or acknowledged ever.Advertisement
3. The Entrance To Area 51
The site is a detachment of California's Edwards Air Force Base. It is hidden away between the mountains. And it is absolutely impossible for anyone without top-level security clearance to go to it, or even see it. But Tim and Tracy Doyle collected these photos using a far lens. They are avid alien hunters.Advertisement
4. A UFO
And, they were successful. This UFO was spotted above the site. It was denied by area 51. But, people remain convinced, after all it looks like a UFO with no other rational explanation as to what it is. Many think it is confirmation that there are indeed aliens.Advertisement
5. A Birds Eye View Showing The Lake And Landing Strips
Here is another look at area 52 which shows its many landing strips.Some claim it also has an air strip which only shows when water is sprayed onto it. Another theory is that it is so tight secret because they believe is used to develop highly focused energy weapons, which the US would not want its enemies to discover.Advertisement
6. Use Of Deadly Force Against Trespassers
These signs strictly warn that trespassers are in danger and that nobody not permitted can enter the area. They could be creating weapons using powerful things such as radiation, lasers which they can use against trespassers such as drones to shoot them down due to the highly secretive nature of the work that takes place.Advertisement
7. The Spy Planes Of The Cold War
There was theories that a spy plane in the 1980s was created and flown here. Chuck Clark is an area 51 fanatic and he claimed this video he took was that plane, over area 51. It had been denied but the 2013 official report on Area 51 revealed that it was indeed the location of the testing of U-2 spy planes for surveillance during the Cold War.Advertisement
8. A Mysterious Structure
This is inside one of the hangers inside area 51. And it may be blurry but some people are sure that this is photographic evidence of a UFO inside it. Some people claim that they can see it. But due to the strict rules of keeping away photos have to be taken at such a distance there is no possibility to be sure.Advertisement
9. A Look At The Lake
Here we get a closer look at the paths roads and landing strips inside area 51, as well as some random buildings dotted around - each section a different area of purpose/experimentation...and mystery. Photos such as these are rare glimpses into the secluded area.Advertisement
10. A closer look at the site
This photo, again a far away sneak peak into area 51. In the photo we can see that the vehicles have been circled. They appear to be cars or SUVs. They can be seen driving around roads and runways on the military base. Thousands of people come to Nevada every year in the hopes of seeing what really goes on inside.Advertisement

14. Plotted On The Map
As we know for a long time area 51 was never plotted on a map so that nobody could know exactly where it was. But since Obama revealed due to secrecy decrees, we now know that it is Groom Lake in the Nevada Desert, 85 miles (135km) north of Las Vegas.Advertisement
15. Two Expectant Visitors

This is a photo of Tim and Tracey Doyle, who are by their own admission, devoted UFO Seekers. They climbed to the top of Tikaboo Peak so that they could see the Army base. This place is roughly between the two mountains, near the town of Rachel, which is often visited by UFO hunters.
16. The Vast Area

This shows just how remote the plot of area 51 is. The nearest town is 25 miles away. This of course is to ensure that any goings on here are shrouded in secrecy, and so that nobody can see what goes on here even from a distance. So that people cannot penetrate the area.
17. This Photo Was Claimed To Be Taken By An Area 51 Engineer

19. One Of The Hangers Close Up
This is one of the closest and clearest pictures we have. We can clearly see one of the SUVs parked right next to one of the hangers. Meaning, that whatever going on in this hanger is in operation and currently being worked on right as this photo was taken.Advertisement
20. It Is Highly Guarded
This is the reception you are greeted with when trying to get inside area 51. And, this is just the perimeter. Even closer everything is extremely strictly guarded and not just with people. This person has got as far as they are able to before being turned away.Advertisement
21. People Still Try To Visit
And again this girl has come to the outskirts of area 51. She is posing for a photo as you can get a glimpse inside some of the area and notice the signs firmly discouraging against trespassing. This is as close as anybody without top security clearance can get.Advertisement
22. The Hanger For The UFO?
A UFO hunter claims that this hanger has been built specifically around a 30 metre UFO that is being built inside area 51. In fact he claims that as of 2011 he discovered what they were building, and this is when they decided to build a hanger around it to protect it from view and keep it secret.Advertisement
23. What Is This?
This was spotted on google maps inside area 51. What exactly it is...nobody knows for sure. All we do know is that it is not like anything we have ever seen before. Whether it is built into the ground or flat it is hard to tell. It looks pretty ominous...Advertisement
24. A Glimpse Through The Binoculars
This is a close up view of inside area 51. Although it does of course not show us what is happening inside, it shows us closely the structures inside which we cannot see without high quality zoomed lenses. Or which we cannot see by visiting the entrance or sides of area 51.Advertisement
25. Target: Area 51
Again this picture shows another person who has climbed to a vantage point in order to zoom in and photograph the notorious area 51. And, it was also a target of a Facebook group which started as a joke and then grew. This group made an event called storm area 51 where they planned for thousands to storm it.Advertisement
26. More Area 51 Evidence
Now this does look strange, it is above area 51 and it does seem to look like a UFO. It also looks almost like a person suspended in mid air. What we do know is that whatever it is, if it has been made in area 51 it is top secret and will never be revealed.Advertisement
27. All In Formation
What we can see here is just how large of an organisation is going on here. It is not just a few hangers but the area is huge and there are numerous hangers, buildings and structures. Each and every one of them are doing something unknown and highly secretive.Advertisement
28. Holes in The Earth
This is a huge hole, again it is reported that this is inside area 51. Whether or not this is true cannot be confirmed. Any information about area 51 is shrouded in secrecy. It looks like something has dropped into the earth to form round holes which have displaced the earth.Advertisement
29. Area 51 In The Past
Hence the picture being in black and white, this is a photograph of area 51 from the past. As we can see the layout is very similar. But, it is smaller. Which means that area 51 is continuously growing, and the projects there are getting larger still.Advertisement
30. An Eery View Of Area 51
This is an old photo of area 51 and the black and white grainy quality of the picture makes it seem even more eery. There is definitely something creepy about this place and something that draws you in. It is no wonder so many people are fascinated by it.Advertisement
Here's 30 of the greatest UFO sighting of ALL time.... 1. Rhode Island 1967
Image Source/ Yankee MagazineHarold Trudel managed to get some great pictures to back up his claims that he had seen flying saucers in the sky above Rhode Island. He was so determined to get proof that he set up camp with his camera to get seven pictures of the UFO. This sighting and these pictures are now some of the most iconic in history.Advertisement
2. Washington DC 1952
Image Source/ Galaxy PressIn Washington D.C in 1952, what was described as "a number of bright lights" were seen in the skies over the Capitol building. They were seen by passers by but also seen on the radar screens of nearby airports and Airforce bases. They were investigated by the US Government but no further details have ever been released.Advertisement
3. Phoenix Lights 1997
Image Source/ Pheonix New TimesIn 1997, a huge V-shaped object was seen in the skies over Pheonix, USA. This is one of the biggest sightings as it was reported by thousands of people. No one was able to say where it came from or what exactly it was. It certainly wasn't an aeroplane.Advertisement
4. Unexplained Mars object 2017
Image Source/ The New York TimesThis image, captured by the Mars Curiosity Rover, appears to show an unidentified object on the surface of Mars. It was taken in 2017 and there is probably a reasonable explanation for what it is, but no one has offered us one yet. Obviously, no one has been able to visit the site to either confirm or deny extra-terrestrial involvement.Advertisement
5. US Navy sightings
Image Source/ The New YorkerThere are a large number of reported UFO sightings by the US Navy. You would think these people would be very aware of what should and shouldn't be keeping them company in the skies. Videos were released in 2020 from the US Department of Defence showing some images and videos captured by its pilots.Advertisement
6. McMinnville 1950
Image Source/ Encyclopedia BritannicaIn the early 1950s, Paul Trent took this photo from his farm in McMinnville, Oregon. The images show a flying object which he claims is an alien aircraft above his land. His wife also witnessed the event and they both stuck to their stories until they died.Advertisement
7. Trindade Island 1958
Image Source/ WikipediaAlmiro Baraúna was sailing on the Almirante Saldanha in 1958 when he took these photos that he claims show a UFO off the coast of Brazil. Project Blue Book, which investigates these sort of claims, found that it was all a hoax. Almiro eventually admitted this but it took him until 2010 to own up!Advertisement
8. Glasgow 2021
Image Source/ Glasgow LivePictures from a plane window emerged in 2021 which show a dark, large, oblong-shaped object flying above the city of Glasgow in Scotland. The object is thought to be a UFO but no authorities have made any comment, although that doesn't mean they aren't investigating.Advertisement
9. The Hessdalen Lights 2007
Image Source/ Life in NorwayMoving on to Norway, back in 2007 some crazy and colourful lights were spotted in the skies of Hessdalen. Many thought the lights were extra-terrestrial visitors, although scientists did try to quash this theory and claim it was just chemical and electrical reactions in the atmosphere.Advertisement
10. The battle of Los Angeles 1942
Image Source/ HistoryDuring the World War in 1942, a flying saucer like object was spotted in the sky over Los Angeles. Obviously, it was first mistaken for another enemy attack coming just after the attack on Pearl Harbour, but when missiles were fired into the sky they hit nothing...Advertisement
11. Netherlands 2013
Image Source/ NBC NewsThis picture of a UFO with an S-shaped fin was captured above the Muiderslot Castle in the Netherlands. Taken in 2013, this very blurry image shows a different type of UFO to the normal flying saucer or floating lights type, but somehow seems to be more believable?Advertisement
12. The Flying Acorn 2019
Image Source/ Popular MechanicsSpeaking of not your average looking UFO, this one looks like an acorn! In 2019 a pilot took pictures of this unidentified object flying over Oceania. Now surely it can be argued that this is a very credible witness. How do you explain this one away?Advertisement
13. Nuremberg 1561
Image Source/ The Public Domain ReviewYou should never assume that UFO sightings are a modern occurrence. There are reports of unexplained events dating back to 1440 BC. In 1561, a mass sighting happened in Nuremberg when residents claim to have seen an aerial battle taking place in the sky, with a large, black, triangular object being at the forefront.Advertisement
14. Morristown 2009
Image Source/ WikipediaA number of sightings of red lights in the sky were reported in Morristown, New Jersey in 2009. At the time many thought it was a real UFO sighting, but turned out to have been a very successful social experiment. Joe Rudy and Chris Russo wanted to show how easy it was to fool so-called UFO experts. They definitely succeeded!Advertisement
15. Colorado 2014
Image Source/ CBS NewsBreckenridge, Colorado is another town to report a mass sighting. This time, it's of three mysterious white lights in the sky. Amongst the witnesses are police officers who saw the UFOs hovering in the sky above their town. Unfortunately, the pictures don't do the stories justice.Advertisement
16. Newtown Lights 1987
Image Source/ CT InsiderIn May 1987, a UFO was seen flying over Interstate 84 in Newtown. It was spotted by a few hundred people who even reported it to the police. They say the UFO was huge, the size of a football field, and covered in multi-coloured lights. Randy Etting was the one to capture this picture.Advertisement
17. Flying triangle 1990
Image Source/ HistoryIn Belgium, this flying triangle of lights was spotted in 1990. Military radar stations picked it up and sent out fighter jets to intercept it. The pilots never saw it, but their equipment did pick up the presence of an object. The object flew away so fast even the jets couldn't keep up with it.Advertisement
18. Riverside 1951
Image Source/ The TelegraphGuy Marquand and his friends claim to have seen this 'flying saucer' in Riverside, California while hiking. They report the object flying past them at high speed, but they managed to get it on camera when it came back. They are the only witnesses of this particular sighting.Advertisement
19. Salem 1952
Image Source/ TimeSalem isn't just full of witches. Apparently there are UFOs there too. A coastguard took this picture through the window of a laboratory back in 1952. You can see four brightly lit unidentified flying objects which are thought to belong to extra-terrestrial entities.Advertisement
20. New Mexico 1957
Image Source/ NBC NewsThis light was photographed when it was hovering for around 15 minutes over Holloman Air Development Centre in New Mexico in 1957. This doesn't look like any normal light in the sky to me... It's oblong-like shape does give the impression it is some kind of aircraft.Advertisement
21. Santa Ana 1965
Image Source/ The Washington PostTruck driver, Rex Heflin, took this picture of UFO after stopping in surprise and managing to capture it. He just saw it randomly flying through the sky in Santa Ana, California in 1965. There's a chance that the government looked into this one but no information was ever published.Advertisement
22. Colorado 1966
Image Source/ The Leadville HeraldChalk Mountain in Colorado is another site that boasts a UFO spotting. Robert Rinker was a field technician working at the mountain's laboratory station when he discovered this object. He didn't speculate as to what it was when he released the image, so I will let you make your own mind up.Advertisement
23. Edinburgh Castle 2021
Image Source/ Daily RecordA bright, white orb was spotted hovering above the famous Edinburgh Castle in Scotland last year. This isn't Scotland's first UFO sighting and I bet it won't be the last. Many people were witness to this event and, as you can imagine, have speculated as to where it came from.Advertisement
24. Los Angeles 1963
Image Source/ TimeNow this picture is what you see you think of a UFO! The Amalgamated Flying Saucer Club of America (yes, this is a thing) was based in Los Angeles, and in 1963 they released this photograph which was reportedly taken by a member. It explicitly shows a flying saucer-like object in the sky.Advertisement
25. Van Horn 1966
Image Source/ News Just AllThis photo was released in March 1966. It was taken by William Van Horn, who was the Civil Defence Director for Michigan at the time. He used this photo to challenge Air Force claims that 'swamp gas' was the cause of supposed UFO sightings in the area. Van Horn said that the setting was too windy for swamp gas to form.Advertisement
26. New Mexico University 1967
Image Source/ WNYCWhile out on a field trip with geology class, a student at New Mexico State University took this picture of a supposed UFO. He was supposed to be photographing land formations, but got a little more than he bargained for. How does anyone explain this?Advertisement
27. New Jersey Turnpike 2001
Image Source/ The Daily StarIt's very dangerous for motorists to stop in the middle of a highway, but in 2001, drivers all came to a halt and found themselves looking up into the sky. For around 15 minutes, there was strange orange and yellow lights in a V formation above the New Jersey Turnpike.Advertisement
28. San Diego 2004
Image Source/ CNNIn 2004, a strike group flying off the coast of San Diego spotted an unknown craft on their radar. When the first two fighter jets arrived at the location, the object disappeared into the water and they could see churning water with an oval-shaped shadow underneath the water. There were no markers on the object and there was also no exhaust fumes.Advertisement
29. O'Hare 2006
Image Source/ PinterestFlight 446 was getting ready to leave Chicago's O'Hare International Airport on November 7th 2006, when a United Airlines employee spotted a UFO flying above one of the gates. Quite a few witnesses saw the same thing, but the airport never gave any explanation as to what it was.Advertisement
30. Stephensville 2008
Image Source/ KCBDStephensville in Texas is mostly known for its dairy farms. But not anymore. In 2008, lots of residents saw some unique lights in the sky. First in a horizontal arc and then in vertical parallel lines. There was no sounds, only lights, and no explanation was ever offered.Advertisement
