5. Area 51 Becomes Famous

A 1989 interview with a man who claimed to have seen nine alien spacecraft in Area 51 hangers became an international news story. Bob Lazar said he had worked at a location called S-4 south of Groom Lake where he alleged that hangars had been built into the side of a mountain to house the nine flying saucers. The interview has spawned numerous books and TV documentaries, and it has drawn visitors who want to travel the Extraterrestrial Highway.
