7 Things Conspiracy Theorists Believe Happened Inside Area 51

In the southern portion of Nevada lies one of the most mysterious places known to humankind — Area 51.

The land that houses this highly secretive base, which is officially known as Homey Airport (KXTA), was first acquired by the United States military in 1955. Since that time, it has gone on to become the subject of countless conspiracy theories and alleged UFO sightings.

Recently, Area 51 was at the center of a great deal of controversy when an anonymous Facebook user suggested that a large group of people gather this coming September and storm the facility. Millions of people responded to the post and expressed their interest in this ill-advised undertaking.

It was later reported that the individual who started the whole uproar intended the post to be satirical. Satirical or not, the fact that so many people remain fascinated by the tales linked to this unassuming air force base in the middle of the dessert is truly remarkable.

After all, what exactly do people expect to find beyond the facility's tightly sealed gates? What do these conspiracy theorists really think happened (or is happening) inside Area 51?

Well, here are some of the most popular, bizarre, and even frightening answers.

The "human-alien hybrid breeding facility" is by far one of the most bizarre theories associated with Area 51.

Granted, the dating scene can be quite frustrating these days, so hooking up with extraterrestrials might be a valid option for some. However, this still doesn't explain why anyone, particularly a government, would want to use a facility to force humans and alien lifeforms to procreate.

Fortunately, conspiracy site Collective Evolution has a perfectly valid explanation. Apparently, the aliens have been performing experiments in secret so they can develop hybrid beings that possess the best of both worlds — literally. These beings would have the physical endurance of humans and the psychic abilities that extraterrestrials apparently possess. The endurance is needed since aliens are said to have a hard time surviving above ground with all the germs we humans are putting out there.

These hybrids are ultimately groomed to be ideal leaders for the New World Order government, once that gets up and running.

Area 51: Dreamland Chronicles has a different theory. The book suggests that these hybrids may actually be created as organ donors for their alien overlords, who use the victim's parts to replenish their "dysfunctional digestive systems."

See? It doesn't sound so crazy after all.
