In 1989, the area began to be associated with the Aliens after an American named Robert Lazar said he had worked there and had witnessed alien spacecraft. The USSR then lowered its Iron Curtain around itself and the rest of the Eastern Bloc, creating a virtual intelligence blackout. In the years following the invasion of South Korea, the USSR expanded its influence aggressively, and some people speculated that alien spacecraft had been spotted at the site.

Area 51 has been the location of secret aircraft and programs, including the Cold War spy plane SR-71 Blackbird. Some conspiracy theorists have also said that the government kept a population of black helicopters on the facility. These mysterious fliers first appeared in news reports in the 1970s and were associated with incidents of cattle mutilation and toxic chemical releases over various neighborhoods. There have been several sightings of aliens in the past, but there is no proof of extraterrestrial contact.
