Before it became known as Area 51, the site was originally a testing and training facility for the U.S. military, particularly during the Cold War. It was established in the 1950s for the development and testing of experimental aircraft, including the U-2 spy plane. The remote location in Nevada offered a secretive environment for testing advanced technology away from prying eyes. Over the years, it has become synonymous with UFO conspiracy theories and extraterrestrial research, although its primary purpose remains military.
