Area 51

EW's GRADE
B

Details Movie Rated: Unrated; Genre: Sci-fi and Fantasy

Folklore, fact, and speculation about America's most secret and mysterious air base, Area 51, hidden in Nevada's arid wastelands. The government remains mum about the goings-on in this 51-square-mile zone, where spy planes are flight-tested by day but regular folks say they've seen UFOs flying in those same skies at night. An ex-government engineer claims he dissected alien aircraft. Another says his job was building flight simulators for flying saucers! Could the USA be duplicating recovered UFOs? Or are encounters getting closer than ever in Area 51? This droll straight-to-video documentary lets you decide. Hmmm. B
