    I'm sure there's a bar around the premises... the aliens wouldn't always be bored.

    I actually did hear something about that lawsuit and the govt. getting it thrown out on the premise of "there's no base there." I wonder if a new lawsuit could now be filed now that the Govt. has offically acknowledged that yes, there is indeed a base there?

    Didn't Area 51 come up on Google Earth once? The government has been rubbish at hiding its existence for years so this is hardly a major revelation.
    Still, I guess people will now ask for the Aliens evidence o_O

    I hope this means we're getting closer to finding the Prothean ruins on Mars.

    Even if they have a bar, the aliens might not be able to drink alcohol, poor alien bastards stranded on a world which contains nothing for them to drink and the locals are millennia behind them in culture and technology - it's about as horrific as a week in New Jersey.

    Umm, yeah, no big surprise. Pretty much been known about by everyone forever. I mean, it's just a big spy plane testing facility. In fact, the only reason there have been conspiracy theories about it is because everyone's known that it was there. And everyone pretty much knows that it's used for testing experimental aircraft. Unless, they're a total conspiracy whackjob or something.

    Interesting to see that the CIA have declassified Area 51 by acknowledging its existence. Though I have to wonder why they at all bothered. I'm guessing they want to take focus away from Area 52?

    Yeah that's a good question. I had to go and check the details. It's actually rather murky (it doesn't help that researching Area 51 leads to a lot of questionable websites). Back in the 90s lawsuit, in addition the "what base" defense, the government was ultimately forced to have the president issue a Presidential Determination exempting the base from any hazardous materials laws that required sharing info with unauthorized personnel (I think they were specifically freaking out over an EPA report they were going to have to turn over to the court). The exemption had to be renewed every year (which it was), although, interestingly, I can't find evidence of it being done past 2003. (I doubt the government has dropped the ball keeping the exemption though: my guess is it now falls under a law/exec order passed in 03).

    Ten bucks/credits/any other monetary system says it's probably covered by some article of the Patriot Act.:rolleyes:

    TryWhistlingThis: Cynical me can't help but wonder if this was apart of what Snowden got when he took all those NSA secrets and figured acknowledging it's existance would be a preemptive strike against whatever damage Snowden could have inflicted by leaking much of that info.
