Video has emerged of a family of terrified tourists being arrested at gunpoint in Area 51 – inciting fresh UFO rumours.
The dramatic footage posted to YouTube last month shows armed guards order a family of four out of their car on a deserted road in the remote detachment of Edwards Air Force Base, within the Nevada Test and Training Range. This is the so-called “Extraterrestrial Highway” due to rumours of alien spacecraft being tested.
Jeremiah Hasvold filmed the footage of the family and guards while he and his son were checking out the site from the Area 51 gate. The hostile security reaction has caused many to speculate the classified zone really might be home to alien secrets.
For years, the base was unacknowledged until 2013, when its existence was declassified in a CIA document.
