There are some issuesas can be gestate by a function that admit the entire mankind , but by and large have an exquisitely elaborate reality to research , including some areas that are normally off - limits .
Take Area 51 , for instance . Sure , it may be meme - worthy now , but it is a real - world assort United States Air Force bag established in 1955 . In the past , it has been the subject of UFO guess and the world of aliens that the government is covering up . A more plausible explanation is that it is a testing region for experimental aircraft .
