Area 51/Project 57.

This is coolbert:

"Area 51 was the single most important Cold 
War facility as it was set up to push science 
faster and further than the Soviet Union," 

Here thanks to the English Independent and the Daily Beast we have some good stuff regarding the much ballyhooed Area 51.

American TOP SECRET facility out in the middle of the Nevada high desert, renowned for security, secrecy, and undoubted successes and failures.

A facility the employees of which were flown in EVERY DAY FROM LOS ANGELES, THREE HUNDRED MILES AWAY, AND FLOWN HOME IN THE EVENING!

Accomplishments, acknowledged and agreed upon by the experts to include the engineering and testing of such aviation marvels as the:

* U-2 spy plane.
* SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft.
* F-117 stealth fighter-bomber.

And undoubtedly other aerial vehicles we are only vaguely aware of and only hinted at, the "Beast of Kandahar" among them?

1. "The (very) secret history of Area 51"

"Just how covert is the infamous US air base? New files show that even Presidents don't always 'need to know' its activities"

Area 51 NOT MERELY an airbase. Much more than that. A manufacturing and test facility combined, the limits of engineering R&D pushed way beyond the limits, the "envelope" stretched to the non-linear breaking point and further if possible.

2. "America's Secret Nuclear Test Revealed in Area 51"

 "Code-named the 57 Project, and later Project 57, the Atomic Energy Commission, the U.S. Air Force, and defense contractor EG&G would work together to simulate an Air Force airplane crash involving an XW‑25 nuclear warhead—a crash in which radioactive particles would 'accidentally' be dispersed on the ground."

And this too! Area 51 the perfect spot [?] to test the "dirty bomb". An atomic weapon detonated, the dispersal of the integral plutonium measured and observed. A detonation not nuclear in nature, but rather conventional. NOT A NUCLEAR FISSILE DETONATION AND THIS MUST BE UNDERSTOOD! An atomic weapon  blown to bits by conventional explosives, that plutonium core of the bomb part of the plume, the cloud of debris thrown into the atmosphere and the surrounding environment.

The how and why of that plutonium dispersal of great interest! A test, an experiment, no matter how well meaning, that would not be allowed today!!

That contaminated ground NOW cleaned up, the debris and soil with "embedded" plutonium removed some time ago now. More than anything else the limited access to Area 51 is for safety reasons. To go near the place can have dire consequences. NOW and for a long time into the future, Area 51 will be hazardous to your health!
