Danny since 1955 the facility has played an integral role in the development of the U-2, SR-71 (spy planes) the F-117 stealth fighter and other classified aircraft. It houses the world longest runway.(36,500 ft over 7mi) During the cold war Russian Migs and other Foreign aircraft were taken to Area 51 to be flown and examined. Hope that helps!

Yeah, I've read about those Bill. All the mistique probably comes from classified, experimental aircraft and the test results/failures resulting from those programs. There's undoubtedly all sorts of weird looking things in the air around Area 51, with a few probably coming to unfortunate endings in the sand.

Wouldn't take too many of that type of incident to get the tin foil hat wearers worked up into a frenzy! And, of course, the Chamber of Commerce in Roswell has no problem with it either!
