Question
I don't understand the purpose of Area 51. Could you tell me? Also, could you explain if Area 51 has found forms of life from other planets?
Area 51 is an obsolete designation for a U.S. Air Force airfield in Nevada, and it has nothing to do with astrobiology. It is located in Lincoln County, Nevada, adjacent to the Nevada Test Range, which was once used for nuclear weapon tests. The main geographic feature is a desert dry lake bed called Groom Lake. This area has been used for testing of experimental aircraft, and I doubt very much that anyone working there has found life forms from other planets. David Morrison
