For the arcade game, see Area 51. For the later First-Person Shooter with the same name, see Area 51 (FPS). A top-secret United States Air Force base in the Nevada desert... until 2013, when it was revealed to be a test site for spy planes. (Unless that's what They want you to think, of course.) In fiction, this is usually associated with the otherworldly and all manner of government conspiracies. The most popular theory is that aliens and spacecraft (particularly those recovered from Roswell, New Mexico) are being held and studied there. If any of this tech has seeped into common human use, the assertion may be made that E.T. Gave Us Wi-Fi. Characters will often outright deny the existence of the base, despite its existence and uses prior to Roswell being relatively well-known and even documented. In real life, Area 51 is an Air Force base of some kind (in the middle of an area officially designated as a bombing range, no less), officially known as the US Air Force Flight Test Center, and also known by the nicknames Groom Lake (for the dry lakebed the runways are on), Homey Airport (which is its 'official' title, with the airport code KXTA, though it goes without saying that pilots should NOT attempt to land here), Dreamland and Neverland. It is one of several remote facilities that make up the massive complex of Nellis Air Force Base (though is officially a detachment of Edwards Air Force Base in California). The more popular nickname stems from the naming system for areas involved in the Nevada atomic weapons testing; "Area-XX" was the default system for naming regions within or near the testing range, and the base was located in "Area 51" according to this system. The location was chosen due to the lakebed, which made an ideal landing strip when Lockheed Martin needed to relocate its Skunk Works; the base has the longest purpose-built runway in the world, though it appears to have been partially decommissioned following the U-2 spyplane project. It's been used in the past to test extremely secret experimental aircraftnote It was part of AQUATONE, the U-2 spyplane program; OXCART, the early stages of the A-12/SR-71 project; and HAVE BLUE, the project that ultimately created the F-117 Nighthawk. These days, it is rumored to be the testing and development area for the next generation B-21 Raider stealth bomber, along with experimental drones such as the XQ-58A Valkyrie and likely a multitude of other highly advanced prototype aircraft yet to be revealed. , which is probably the source of some of the rumors. What's going on there now (if anything) is way beyond your security clearance, and most US maps show a big blank over the area (Google Maps and Earth do not, though Maps humorously lists the base under the "Homey Airport" nickname, and also lists it as closed). The closest anyone has gotten to revealing what goes on at Area 51 was a lawsuit brought by workers at the base due to unsafe conditions — apparently, Area 51 has No OSHA Compliance — but the suit was thrown out of court when the state secrets privilege was invoked. It has been pointed out by many that the government has to develop secret (from other governments) projects somewhere, even if those projects have nothing to do with otherworldly things. The secrecy surrounding the base makes it a tempting subject for real-life conspiracy theorists and Speculative Fiction writers alike. Some stories make an important plot point of the true goings-on in Area 51, while others just allude to it as a Historical In-Joke. Proof of how evil and devious the complex is can be seen in how intruders are dealt with; using a system of buried motion sensors and guys in jeeps, they, um... Well, they call the Lincoln County Sheriff, who escorts the intruders back outside. There is also an "Area 52", the Tonopah Test Range. This was home to a now-declassified Cold War program called "Constant Peg", involving American pilots training against real MiGs, small numbers of which had been delivered by defectors. Dulce Base, a similar underground government base in northwestern New Mexico, has begun to take the place of Area 51 in the conspiracy theorist/UFO enthusiast circles as the shroud of secrecy surrounding the latter has faded. Indeed, some go as far as to claim that Area 51 conspiracy theories are all just disinformation designed to focus people's attention on a fairly non-exotic facility. Given that the Groom Lake facility is visible from the Nellis perimeter fence, they may have a point about it being a less-than-perfect base for things we aren't supposed to see. So far, it's presumed that Dulce is actually just an urban legend, as no evidence of it can be found above ground (though several people allege the base is entirely underground, and is a massive subterranean complex linked to various other sites such as Area 51 and Denver Airport via underground rail tunnels). Then again, Area 51 was thought to be an urban legend until the Soviet Union released satellite pictures of it. And in August 2013, the CIA declassified a document talking specifically about Area 51. President Obama even joked about it a few months later. In July 2019, a joke Facebook event to "storm Area 51" attracted more than 2 million responses. On the specified date of September 20th, 2019, 150 people actually made it up to the main gate before being warned off by security. A subtrope of Black Site. Compare Roswell That Ends Well.

They do have several alien bodies stored there, as well as one comatose alien, who was knocked out by a scared soldier. Turns out, he's a criminal who's pissed off at humans and in 2 episodes ends up causing the End of the World as We Know It. Luckily, Frank is there to fix things. |

In the Discworld of A.A. Pessimal, the Air Watch expanded from its canonical beginnings of Gnomes and Feegle riding tamed birds, and welcomed Witches of an aeronautic turn of mind who accepted Watch membership was the entry ticket to almost unlimited flying hours, plus the chance to do well-resourced R&D into the Magitek nature of flight. Lord Vetinari had an ulterior motive in mind: right from the start, he envisaged an Air Arm, perhaps a sort of Royal Ankh-Morporkian Air Force, capable of challenging the Klatchians for mastery of the skies. The expanded Air Division, at the latest point on the timeline, maintains its principal base at Pseudopolis Yard in the City, exploiting the large flat roof over the mews as its landing strip. It also has forward bases in Lancre and at the City Zoo. The Pseudopolis Yard airbase is where most of the research takes place into, for instance, larger, sleeker and faster broomsticks and other flying Devices. Very tight security is in force here. The local UFO-nuts absolutely insist this is where Lord Vetinari sanctions fiendish experiments into the nature of flight and where the aliens from other planets, who speak a language so bizzarely strange it could not possibly have evolved on the Discworld; it even uses an alien alphabet, look!, clandestinely descend to speak to the Patrician. Naturally, all this is hushed up. Air Division commanding officer Olga Romanoff is aware members of her multi-national command of witches have a collective weird sense of humour and have, with totally straight faces, "leaked" information to the UFO-nuts, about it being designated Area Fifty-Seven, along with tall tales about what goes on there. Just For the Lulz. Olga discourages this sort of thing. Read more in The Price of Flight. | |

American Dad!: Roger met Stan Smith, for the very first time, during a raid at Area 51. They met in a surgery room that was soon flooded with grenades. They managed to escape through a nearby laundry chute and landed in a van that was heading outside the base. Later in the series, Roger takes Stan back to Area 51. They acquire Roger's lost fanny pack. It contains a lotion that Roger uses to repair Stan's broken legs. Moments later, they are confronted by scientists and soldiers. The soldiers chase Stan and Roger throughout the base. They escape through the same chute, like last time, and end up in a van heading outside Area 51. | |

The X-Files: Plays a minor role in the Myth Arc. It's visited in the episodes "Dreamland I & II", in which we learn that it's just a testing ground — "They build 'em up in Utah." However, the planes being tested there are powered by gravity manipulation and, as a side effect, cause bystanders on the ground to either swap bodies or get trapped phased partway through the nearest object... or person. The show also pokes fun at the idea in "Apocrypha", in which one of the Syndicate elders asks why they can't hide a downed UFO at Area 51 and the Cigarette-Smoking Man responds that it's too insecure due to "heightened public interest." |

The Sims: In The Sims 2 the neighborhood Strangetown is heavily based on typical depictions of Area 51. It is a desert area with military presence (the Grunt family) and also has several aliens. There also is a crashed alien spaceship in a crater. In The Sims 4: Strangerville game pack, Strangerville is based on Area 51, complete with introducing the military career for the first time. However in this case there are no alien sims, instead there is a mysterious flower that is infecting the local townspeople. |

In Treyarch's continuity of the Call of Duty Nazi Zombies series Area 51 is talked about and even showcased a couple of times. The first mention of Area 51 comes in the Nazi Zombies minigame where the various radio transmissions that expand upon the background story of the Zombies makes a reference to a, "remote base in Nevada." and even gives exact coordinates of where it would be located on a map. Later on in the storyline of Nazi Zombies in the map "Five" John F. Kennedy makes references to Groom Lake, which is talking about the lake that Area 51 is situated on, and the various technological achievements made there. Finally in the Nazi Zombies map "Moon" Area 51 is being assaulted by Zombies and you have to escape them by teleporting to the surface of the Moon but you can come back later if you want though it won't contribute to ending your current round as all rounds can only be fought on the Moon. Beyond the Nazi Zombies universe Area 51 is also a multiplayer map called "Hanger 18" which is a reference to conspiracy theorists who believe that at Area 51 all of the most top secret Military Aircrafts are all tested there. Also the Element 115 that is constantly referenced in the Nazi Zombies storyline is based off the account of a former Area 51 employee who is stated to have witnessed the substance in action and who said it had reality warping qualities to it. | |

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas had one mission where you had to steal a secret jetpack known as the Black Project by infiltrating a military base that is considered not to be on the map by a few people, known as Area 69. Before or after this mission, your warrant level would instantly shoot up to 5 stars if you wandered too close to the base. Try to do this by air and the base would shoot missiles at you. | |

CSI-verse: An episode of CSI has the agents uncovering what appears to be an alien corpse, later revealed to be a guy in a costume, buried in the desert just outside Area 51. CSI: NY: Adam Ross finds what he thinks is a piece of an alien space ship, figures he'll be famous for making first contact, and immediately makes plans to open his own theme park called ARea 52. note That's not a typo; he deliberately capitalized his initials. |

Area 52 is where the monsters in Monsters vs. Aliens are being kept. It's not refered to as such in the film: Gen. Monger refers to it as "a place so secret the mere mention of it is a federal offence", and when one aide starts to say "Area Fifty..." he gets a tranquilizer dart to the neck. In the TV series spin-off, it's refered to as Area Fifty-Something. | |

A 2005 first-person shooter, not to be confused with the above, was also titled Area 51, its story revolving around a viral outbreak at the base that you and your team of soldiers are sent to clean up. The Illuminati and The Greys were responsible, planning on using the virus to Take Over the World. It got an unrelated sequel in 2007, BlackSite: Area 51, which was about the base playing host to a failed Super-Soldier program whose remnants spill out into the nearby town of Rachel, Nevada. | |

"Crucial" is stretching it, but Animorphs has the Fictional Counterpart Zone 91. #14 revolves around the protagonists and the antagonists trying to figure out if the government is really trying to cover up evidence of an alien crash, because the antagonists depend on the idea of an Alien Invasion being utterly unbelievable to the average guy on the street. The book is pure comedy, especially when Sixth Ranger Ax reveals that the piece of alien technology is just an Andalite toilet, but "only the most primitive model." | |

Independence Day, unbeknownst to the president for reasons of Plausible Deniability. He begins to reassure a conspiracy theorist that the government has never captured a UFO and really had no idea an invasion was coming, only to be told by his Secretary of Defense that "that's not entirely accurate". The film actually lost its Backing By The Pentagon because of this since the official policy of the U.S. military is that there are no aliens at Area 51 and there never have been. | |

Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt has a running subplot about David Bluebook, one of the few survivors of the Alien God's invasion setting out to investigate Area 51 as the cause. He eventually discovers the presumed cause to be an alien imprisoned and operated on at Area 51 titled Subject E by the US military who was sending out a distress signal to outer space for someone to rescue it. When he gets there, he is shot in the operation theater Subject E was being dissected in by a mysterious figure whose silhouette is clad in static. The mystery thickens when the protagonists end up in the same place and are not attacked, only finding a twig on an operating bed and humanoid circulatory/nervous systems propped up besides the bed. | |

JAG: In the "The One Who Got Away", while flying for the CIA, Harm is detailed to fly the Aurora spy plane from a secret location, which even the usually reliable Title In names as "Diamond Lake, Location classified". However, in a later scene we do see on a flight map that the base is located somewhere around the Nevada Test Site. In "Impact", although the story is set around Twenty-Nine Palms, California, the secretive Bradenhurst Corporation test area exhibits many subtropes commonly associated with Area 51, such as: use of deadly force authorize signs, armed private security guards, mysterious unidentified aircraft originating from that area, and blanket security cover for the whole operation. |

Ice Station by Matthew Reilly mentions that UFO storage facilities have been built in the Nevada desert. They've remained completely empty. Area 7 largely takes place in the titular compound, a chemical warfare research facility in the Nevada desert, while the nearby Area 8 houses experimental planes and armed space shuttles. Area 51 is never mentioned, but there's a strong implication of each of the Areas being some form of secret government facility. |
