Beyond Area 51: 16 Secret UFO Locations
Beyond Area 51
Nevada's Area 51 is the world's best-known secret base. It's been featured in books, movies, and TV mostly because many people suspect the U.S. government hides UFOs inside its vast confines. (Only recently did the U.S. government finally admit Area 51 exists, although they say its purpose was spy plane testing.)
But Area 51 isn't the only such place — there are other mysterious sites that are truly secret and almost unknown, but with connections to UFOs all the same. Some I talk about in my new book, Beyond Area 51; some of these connections border on the ridiculous; others are fascinating and truly baffling. Here are the most mysterious
AUTEC, the Caribbean
AUTEC (officially known as the Atlantic Underwater Testing & Evaluation Center) is what many UFO researchers call the U.S. Navy's version of Area 51. Not only have many UFOs been reported in its vicinity over the years, but hundreds of USOs (Unidentified Submerged Objects) have been seen near this super-secret facility as well. (The Navy denies all this, of course.) Maybe the eeriest thing about AUTEC is that it's located on the Bahamian island of Andros, which puts it smack in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle.
Homestead AFB, Florida
Located south of Miami, Homestead Air Force Base is the site of one of the most intriguing stories in UFO lore. One night in 1974, President Richard Nixon brought his golfing buddy, comedian Jackie Gleason, to a top-secret hangar at Homestead to show him the remains of a crashed flying saucer and the bodies of its crew. Gleason was a well-known UFO enthusiast and later on, when Gleason's estranged wife mentioned the incident to a magazine, Jackie claims he decided to end their marriage. But is the story true?
