With the Lazar story all but entirely debunked I felt it was necessary to promote some of the other lesser known tales floating around Area 51. Most of what you will find here is more than a little bit off-the-wall, and all of it should be taken with a grain of salt.
I can't say that any of this is true, but for me much of Area 51's charm lies in the folklore surrounding the base. So sit back, relax, and don't take any of this too seriously.
Archibald: It is believed by Pat
and Joe Travis (owners of the A'Le'Inn) that
a benevolent extraterrestrail entity watches
over and protects the Inn. Pat and Joe had
their first encounter with Archibald when
they
were driving down the 375 late one night.
Pat heard a strange, unexplianable voice in
her head telling her to
slow the car down. Pat instructed Joe to slow
the car and sure enough, standing there in
the middle of the road was a cow. Had they
not slowed down it certainly would have been
an unpleasant encounter.
Sometime later Pat and Joe were sitting in
the Inn after hours when a blue beam of light
shot through the door. In true Rachel style,
Joe offered this strange anomaly a beer.
Could this light have been created by
Archibald? Could it have been Archibald
himself?
Alien Spirits at the Mailbox: This
theory stems entirely from a photo on display
at the Inn. The photo was taken by Mailbox
photographer Kathleen Ford. As the story was
told to me she was at the Mailbox one night
when she got "the Hee-Bee Gee-bee's" and
snapped a picture. Upon development the photo
showed something startling. In the photo
there was a dog (which WAS there when she had
taken the picture) but crouching down in
front of the canine was what appeared to be a
translucent Grey alien! Could it be that the
aliens travel these vast distances because
they're dog-lovers?
A surveilance device on Badger
Mountain: A couple of self-proclaimed
Area 51 experts in Rachel (I won't name any
names) are convinced that the Government has
installed a camera on Badger Mountain to
monitor the trail to Tikaboo Peak. The
mystery device is alledgedly located next to
some sort of radar relay. This is my kind of
Mystery! One I could investigate hands on! So
I packed up my bags and drove all the way out
to middle-of-nowhere nevada to see it for
myself. Unfourtunatly I had the misfourtune
of debuking this theory myself. I didn't make
it all the way to the device but I got close
enough to it to get a good look at it through
my telescope. Unfortunatly I found it wasn't
a camera. In all likelyhood its just a second
relay. I haven't had the heart to tell the
folks in Rachel yet.
A possible new test site for the
UFO's: I have heard of at least two
seperate instances where strange lights were spotted flying above the Test Site 20 miles
north of Rachel. These lights fit the
description of the lights that used to be
seen cruising around Dreamland airspace. They
would hover, speed across the sky the stop on
a dime. A single light would seperate into
three disinct lights, then come back
together.
Some time ago an anonmous tipster instructed
researchers to "look north". Immediately
Montana and other northern states popped into
the minds of the researchers. Could this
tipster simply have meant to look only 40 or
so miles north?
Unfountunatly this airspace is also used in
various simulated air combat exercises. And
we all known how easy it is for some to
mistake these combat exercises for UFO's.
The Nellis UFO: This strange object
was caught on film by remote controlled
cameras at a section of the Test Site known
as Area S30. Judging from the mountains in
the back groud it appears that the object
could have been in the vicinity of Black
Mountian, Quartz Mountain, or the Tolicha
Peak Combat range. When I took a look at my
maps it seemed that there was a chance that
the UFO could have been heading towards Area
19.
Area 19, for those of you who don't know, is
a bit of a mystery itself. You see,
officially there is nothing out there. But
the maps tells a different story. There is a
powerline that crosses much of the test site,
and teminates at a strange double ring of
roads right in the middle of Area 19. It has
been speculated by remote viewers that there
is an underground facility there that houses
a make-shift remote controlled UFO that has
been pieced together from various crashes.
Could the Nellis UFO been this remote
controlled unit coming back from a test
flight?
