10 Creepiest Government Secrets
8. Area 51/Groom Lake
Whether or not you believe in little green men, UFO's from outer space, or that there are the remains of aliens and/or a crashed spaceship at the top-secret Area 51 military base in Nevada, you have to admit, how the U.S. government has handled the base is just plain creepy.
That includes buying up land around the base so no one can see it (despite everyone knowing it's there), a hidden guard shack on Groom Lake Road (okay, whatever), and planting spy cameras on public land (that is not cool, at all). The base wasn't even officially acknowledged until 2013, when several documents pertaining to it we declassified.
