The release of a video with images taken from a distance of Area 52, in the Nevada desert, rekindled curiosity about one of the most secret places in the United States, used since 1952 for military tests and private transport of employees on Janet airline planes.
The Tonopah Test Range in Nevada has drawn attention again after the release of a video recorded from a distance showing part of the secret base known as Area 52, one of the most classified military locations in the United States. The recording was published a few days ago by the channel n01_b4_flash and displays planes used for transporting employees to the complex.
Area 52 in the United States
The site is officially called Tonopah Test Range, or TTR, and remains little known outside circles related to military affairs. Still, the nickname Area 52 has helped turn the facility into a frequent target of conspiracy theories over the decades.
The base was built in 1952 and became a highly secret center for aircraft testing. The recommendation for those approaching the area is simple: keep your distance, as it is a space where problems can arise even without physical entry into the perimeter.

Secret base in Nevada
Among the planes most associated with the TTR is the stealth fighter Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk. The aircraft operated from the base between 1982 and 1989, during which time the location played an important role in classified activities related to military aviation.
After the retirement of the F-117, most of the fleet was stored at the TTR itself. The presence of these aircraft at the site is linked to the fact that some of their characteristics remain classified.
Air transport to the facility
The transportation of employees to the base is usually done by air. A company without official markings, popularly known as Janet, conducts the transport between Las Vegas Airport and the Tonopah Test Range.
In the video released by the channel n01_b4_flash, several Boeing 737 passenger planes used in these operations appear. The images reinforce the secretive nature of the facility and once again place Area 52 among the most secret places in the United States.
