5. Area 51, a Secret Military Base
Ever since a UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) crashed in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947, the region has become a hotbed for conspiracy theorist activity. Conspiracy theorists claim that the ruins of that UFO are stored at Area 51, a secret military base located about 90 miles north of Las Vegas. It is alleged that structures are built deep in the desert ground, with buildings going down thirty to forty stories below the surface. The intense secrecy surrounding the base has made it the frequent subject of conspiracy theories and a central component to UFO folklore.
