What Is Area 51?
1. US Air Force Base
The official line is that the facility is a US Air Force base. This would make a lot of sense because it is common for any military to want their installations to be well away from the public eye. As an air force base, its remote location will not be a problem because the airport allows goods and people to come and go with ease. We know that there is an airport at the facility, that much has been confirmed by the government. Indeed, one of the official names of the site is Homey Airport. It even has its own ICAO code (KXTA). While that much is not a mystery, exactly what goes on at the site is less clear.
