        On June 17, 1959 the Reno Evening Gazette published an article called "More Flying Objects Seen in Clark Sky" that detailed several witnesses' encounter with an object "bright green in color which descended towards the earth at an unimaginable speed” (“Aguilera, Jasmine” 1). This was the beginning of an epidemic of endless suspicion for Area 51. Area 51 is one of the United States’ most mysterious and guarded military bases, which provokes much suspicion from people around the globe. Modern theories have proved to be a strange fit to witnesses’ encounters. These theories suggest aliens are being kept at area 51, projects are being developed to control weather, and exotic energy weapons are being made. Let’s go over these three theories, and find evidence to prove them to be true.

Bob was seen as a maniac from most of the public, yet some still took what he said seriously, and even started to conspire against the government and its secretive Area 51 . Bob Lazar made a series of claims to the public about aliens which made him seem like a psycho. However, his views from the public did not stop him from sharing his unrealistic experiences. People all over the world took his experiences and argued against and even supported them. Bob lazar was a very controversial person in the making of most of all Area 51 conspiracies. Overall, Bob Lazar seemed to be a very unfearful, dedicated and caring person in characteristics.

When interviewed he explained everything in full detail. He did not budge to leave anything out. He claimed to have been working with the government, and also explained how the government was hiding things from the public. This would include alien existence and other undiscovered atoms of sort. “To believers and skeptics alike, Lazar is almost a mythological figure — a man who reluctantly spoke up out of fear for his safety, became the public face of the search for aliens and high-level government secrecy, then retreated after details about his personal life and questions about his scientific credentials became fodder for news coverage.” This quote explains how Bob was a straightforward person, by explaining how he told the public what the government is doing and he also brought personal matters into play. Bob Lazar was willing to let the public know secret government plans and projects. This could only mean that he understood that his life could be on the line, just to be able to share his reports to the public. Which makes him a straightforward person, compared to other people alike.
                 In the other hand, Bob Lazar was also a very dedicated person. He took time to attend to his speeches, and interviews. He loved the community and strived to make them happy. He is dedicated in explaining how things went on in Area 51, but he was also very dedicated to speak of his practices with the government at Area 51. “The scientist, Robert Scott Lazar, said he had worked in the S-4 section of Area 51, a corner of the Nevada Test Site. There, he had read documents indicating the existence of ongoing research on an "anti-gravity reactor" for use in propulsion systems.” This quote explains how Bob Lazar worked at Area 51, and how he had documents to prove his testimony at interviews and speeches, and many other things. Bob was dedicated in many ways, in his research over Area 51. He also was dedicated for another reason; Bob kept a dedication to his talks over what happened at Area 51.
                   Likewise, Bob Lazar also cared for the public’s well being, and his listeners at events and at his interviews. When he spoke out at events, he wanted the public to know of government tactics, and ways the government hid things from the public. He came out about his story of Area 51, and how the government worked with aliens on weapons, aircrafts, and genetic mutations. He cared very much for his audience and felt the need to address them for their future safety.  “Bob Lazar is a former government physicist who made headlines world-wide in 1989 when he came forward via investigative reporter George Knapp with his account of reverse-engineering an alien propulsion system for the U.S. military.” This quote explains that Bob Lazar made the news in order to let the public know of government plans, he cared for his audience and wanted what was best for them. Bob Lazar was willing to let the public know secret government plans and projects. This could only mean he cared for the public’s well being and truly cared for the public's knowledge over secret government plans.
                 In conclusion, the public first thought Bob Lazar to be a strange person, as he claimed to the public that he had secret affairs with the government and also worked with the government in his spare time worked won secret aircrafts, weapons and more. He had experience inside Area 51 and wanted to share his knowledge with the public. He cared for his audience, and made sure they knew what intentions the government had. He also was a very straightforward person as he came out to the public, and told his story without hesitation. Bob Lazar was also a very dedicated person and wanted to let the public in on what he knew no matter what. He was criticized for a lot of his speeches and interviews, as much of his arguements did not seem believable. However, his views from the public did not stop him from sharing his unrealistic experiences. People all over the world took his experiences and argued against and even supported them. Bob lazar was a very controversial person in the making of most of all Area 51 conspiracies. Overall, Bob Lazar seemed to be a very unfearful, dedicated and caring person in characteristics.

However, other people do not find this to be the case. Some people suspect the Government is up to no good as anti-trespassing and security is heavily enforced within the patrols cruising along the gates. The site of Area 51 is known for its conspiracies regarding aliens, secret government projects, and the reverse engineering of space crafts.
                     The first conspiracy theory that the Area 51 site is well known for is aliens; Aliens have always been the craze at area 51, with the countless reports and sightings of alien spacecrafts, suspecting aliens was just the common thing to do. The craze developed to other people around, and a lot of people began looking for evidence to prove that there are aliens. However, through the countless years of looking for evidence there has only been reports to prove the existence of alien crafts but not the aliens itself. This immediately cuts off the theory and proves that this theory does not work as of right now.
                      The second and most believed conspiracy according to my own survey (completed by several college students) is the involvement of Secret government projects at Area 51. The government keeps Area 51 under tight security, so the theory would make sense; “In 1953, the Air Force began looking for a plane that could fly so high it could avoid detection and anti-aircraft missiles, about 70,000 feet in the air, and travel long-enough distances — 3,000 miles or so — without needing to refuel.” (“Ward, Alex”2). With this knowledge we can consider that the government used Area 51 as a site to conduct this secret government project. This renders the conspiracy very likely to be true.
Image result for area 51               The final theory, and last regarding the Area 51 anomaly is the reverse engineering of alien spacecraft. This shows the most promising, as there is evidence to suggest the doing of this. The theory briefly explains that the government uses Area 51 as a place to perform the engineering of alien spacecraft. The main evidence to this theory is Bob Lazar; “Lazar said EG&G hired him to help reverse engineer the technology in the alien craft for use in U.S. military vehicles and power production. He'd discovered a rusty, heavy substance he called "Element 115" that powered the alien spacecraft.” (“Strickland, Jonathan”1). Here, Bob Lazar is said to have been hired by the government to perform reverse engineering of space crafts. Another piece of evidence follows, “The Air Force said the debris was from a weather balloon. But in the early 1980s, a former nuclear physicist named Stanton Friedman stumbled across the 1947 news story. Friedman was convinced that the strange weather balloon had been an alien spacecraft.” (“McFall-Johnsen, Morgan” 3). According to this article, an eyewitness to the event explained that the government lied, they pledged that the “aircraft” was a hot air balloon. According to the eye witness, he said that the spacecraft was not a hot air balloon and in fact a spacecraft. Both pieces of evidence prove that the reverse engineering of spacecraft did take place, which means that the theory is in fact true.
                                           In conclusion, the theory of aliens is not really believable through the countless years of looking for evidence there has only been reports to prove the existence of alien crafts but not the aliens itself. The second theory in my essay states that the government itself is conducting secret government projects at Area 51. We proved this to be true as we found proof of secret government projects in the quote that “In 1953, the Air Force began looking for a plane that could fly so high it could avoid detection and anti-aircraft missiles, about 70,000 feet in the air, and travel long-enough distances — 3,000 miles or so — without needing to refuel.” (“Ward, Alex”1). The last theory also proved to be false as the main support rested on the testimony of Bob Lazar. Bob Lazar is only human and were not sure of what his intentions are, he could be in fact lying. There is no real proof to back up the claims he makes therefore we claim this theory as non credible. Overall we have been through the thought process of Bob Lazar, some of his key characteristics, and indicated that he could be lying.
