Area 51: Supernatural or Normal?
Youre standing in the middle of a remote area. Beams of light coming from the sky and
wind forcing you in every direction. A whooshing sound comes from the flying object about to
land next to you. Is it a plane or a UFO? Nobody knows. This place youre standing in is Area
51. Area 51 is located in Nevada, 75 miles north from Las Vegas. Its hidden in a remote area that
makes you wonder, whats really going on there? It came to be in the 1950s, and was hidden for
multiple years. Due to the top secret nature of the building, the accounts of what goes on there,
and the UFO sightings being reported, Area 51 is having supernatural occurrences.
One reason why Area 51 is suspected to having supernatural occurrences is because of
the suspicious activity in the area. For example, you cant drive anywhere close to it, and even
the airspace above has been restricted(source #2). Also, the government has classified official
documents on the information about Area 51 (source #2). Additionally, the government has
taken many years to release details about Area 51. After the first person stumbled upon it a
couple years after it was built in 1955, the government still denied existence of the area(source
#1). All of these occurrences point to Area 51 being suspicious.
Besides just having suspicious activity, there have also been numerous reported cases of
unidentified flying objects. For instance, Lander county, almost 330 miles north of Area 51, has a
ratio of 188 sightings per 100,000 people(source #1). Another example of one of these sightings
is the Roswell incident. In 1947, on a ranch in Roswell, NM, there was a crash from a supposed

extraterrestrial spaceship.(source #3) Roswell, NM and Area 51 are very close, only 835 miles
apart. All of these reported cases point to Area 51 being a supernatural hotspot.
Along with the reported objects in the sky and the suspicious activity, there are also first
hand accounts of people who are former workers at Area 51. Boyd Bushman, a retired Area 51
employee, confessed to Area 51 being linked to alien life forms. He says there are groups of
aliens with long, webbed like fingers coming from a planet called Quintumnia(source #3). Also
to quote Bushman, he has said, With respect to the alien craft, we have American citizens who
are working on UFOs 24 hours a day. We are trying to learn what to do. What Bushman is
trying to say is that at Area 51, they have aliens helping them create and use new
technology(source #3).
In conclusion, Area 51 is housing the supernatural with its suspicious activity, reported
UFO cases, and first hand accounts. So, does anyone really know whats out there? Humans
cant be the only life form in the universe, or other universes. There are thousands, maybe
millions of other life forms no one knows about. All this evidence shows that Area 51 is hiding
something supernatural or potentially dangerous, and the truth needs to come out.
