Groom Lake
(redirected from Area 51)

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Groom Lake

Dry lake-bed site in Nevada, USA, of US Air Force base used for the development of secret projects. In the 1980s it was used for testing of Stealth aircraft and Star Wars (Strategic Defense Initiative) projects and later for studying ex-Soviet aircraft purchased from Russia. The region is famous among UFO enthusiasts as ‘Area 51’.

The base was established in the 1950s as a testing ground for the U-2 spy plane. In 1984 it was designated so secret that it no longer appeared on maps, and its existence was officially denied until 1992. Because of the strangely shaped aircraft and lights to be seen, the nearest public vantage point to Groom Lake has since 1989 attracted UFO watchers.
