My favorite "conspiracy theory" is this thing we call reality. And the timeless and persistant Religious/Military/Royal control over the populace because of the belief in a "holy bloodline" of Elite Priests and Kings. To me, all other conspiracies fall under this unifying thread.
Hey Stew! You should go and check this out! Maybe you will get beamed up and someone other then yourself can anally probe you for a change! Ha,joking!

The 50th Anniversary celebration of Area 51 on May 28, 2005 - the public is invited !!
PRESS RELEASE - January 15, 2005
Marking the 50th Anniversary of "the operating base near Groom Lake" (official name of the popularly known Area 51 base), several celebrations will be held in the month of May, 2005. The construction of this sprawling aerospace complex in Nevada, the world's most well-known but misunderstood "secret base", began in the month of May of 1955.
Needless to say, the "official" celebrations, closed to the public, will all be held at the base itself, including the Base Headquarters (or, officially, Building #269, according to the Security Manual of the base entitled DET 3 SP), the Administration Building (Bldg. #265), the Dining Hall (Bldg. #267) and at Building #170, which contains the officers' lounge/bar known as "Sam's Place", the gymnasium and the swimming pool.
However, there will be other "private" celebrations at diverse aerospace facilities both in Nevada and in Southern California, including the Air Force Flight Test Center at Edwards Air Force Base, whose Detachment 3 operations are allegedly tied in with the Nevada base.
Aside from these private gatherings, there will be several "public" festivities marking the Golden Anniversary of Area 51. On Saturday, May 28, 2005 the largest of these gatherings will be held adjacent to the eastern boundary of the base alongside Groom Lake Rd. and will be headed by Joerg Arnu, webmaster of Area 51 - The Dreamland Resort, the world's largest online source of information on Area 51.
Several hundred supporters and "aficionados" of Area 51, including military aviation enthusiasts, are expected to celebrate outside the eastern boundary of the base with a camp-out, barbecue and live music entertainment along with various speakers.
According to Arnu, May 28 was selected because it coincides with the Memorial Day weekend and thus it would be easier for the public to make it to the celebrations.
The news media is expected to cover the event and the Bureau of Land Management is also expected to participate by helping with the coordination of parking and other logistics needed to make the event a success.

For the past 16 years or so, Area 51 has been popularly and erroneously (and "conveniently", according to some theorists) associated with false rumors of "alien technology" and conspiracies.
Norio Hayakawa ( Civilian Intelligence Network ), who, at once time was a proponent of such conspiracy theories but now an ardent supporter of the importance and necessity of this vital base for our national defense, states that "the operating base near Groom Lake" is a real aerospace complex which had never been a top secret base. (See the excellent article at the bottom by aerospace historian, Peter Merlin).
According to Hayakawa, it only became a "secret base" to those who were taken in by paranoia mongers and through misinformation, resulting from false rumors which began in the late 80s and persisted throughout the mid 90s.
Area 51 today is a vibrant aerospace R & D conglomerate test base, employing anywhere from 1800 to 2400 defense contractor employees, working in shifts on diversified projects. Some of the contractors include Raytheon, Lockheed, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, TRW, E.G. & G. and General Atomics.
One of the best recent color satellite photos of the base was taken on Thursday, July 24, 2003: Color Satelllite Photo of Area 51 taken on Thursday, July 24, 2003
Finally, perhaps the best history of Area 51 was recently compiled by Peter Merlin, an aerospace historian who resides near Edwards Air Force Base in California:
Area 51 Was Never A Secret, Classified Base.

A MILLION-DOLLAR VIEW OF EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE IN CALIFORNIA
(Photo to be posted soon)
The most ideal, secluded location from where to view the entire length of Edwards Air Force Base in California, from an elevation:
The north-extending dirt road extension of 200th Street East at Avenue G in an unincorporated area, east of Lancaster
The sight, located on public land, is magnificent, to say the least.
From here one can see the entire Edwards Air Force Base, a 180-degree view of the entire base, runaways, hangars, buildings, including the Dryden Space Research complex.
It is an ideal spot, secluded and has a great elevation vantage.
In Nevada, I have viewed the Area 51 many times from atop both the White Sides and the Freedom Ridge. Indeed the view from the Freedom Ridge (before it and White Sides were declared off-limits to the public) was a splendid, magnificent view.
But this view of Edwards Air Force Base in California from the extended dirt road extension of 200 Street East in an unincorporated area east of Lancaster, is equally as magnificent as the view of Area 51 from the Freedom Ridge.
I highly recommend this spot for avid mililtary aviation fans.
You can see all the activities of the base with all types of military aircraft taking off and landing. The nighttime view of the base is simply magnificent!!
Directions to get to this spot:
from Los Angeles area, take Highway 14 north to Avenue F. Exit on Avenue F and go east. Make a left on Sierra Highway and go north till you get to Avenue E.
Turn right on Avenue E, going east till 140th Street.
Make a right on 140th Street, going south to Avenue G. Make a left on Avenue G, going east to 200th East. Make a left on 200th Street East, going north. You will get to the dirt road extension going north.
