What I'd like to know is, what goes on in Areas 1 to 50?

Area 47 is an outdoor adventure park in Austria:

Might be a 'front' though!

I've heard Machrihanish described as Britain's Area 51. All sorts of stories about secret hypersonic tests etc.. No idea if any of it is true but the idea of secret planes flying between the US and Scotland is pretty cool!

Not really a secret airbase anymore though, if it ever was.

I read this last night, very interesting little blog.
Is the any decent shows worth watching about Area 51?

After I'd asked, I thought there isn't going to be an accurate telling of what's there, as people that know will never say.

It’s probably a lot less interesting than one imagines. Probably a bunch of long range sub-sonic stealth drones.

I think the likelihood of some secret super/hypersonic aircraft is very unlikely due to cost and operational need. The US has airbases bases within a few sub-sonic hrs of any trouble spots that a stealth drone could be quickly dispatched to and loiter over for many hours undetected.

A super/hypersonic aircraft based out of the US or some other suitable clandestine location just can’t do that.

Thanks for that. I must say, $5.2M seemed like a good deal for that place!

Interesting that the US government ended up seizing the property, valuing it under $300k apparently though the actual settlement hasn't been revealed publicly.
