A scouting group flew over Groom Lake. From above, they could see it was remote, unassuming, and it already had an airstrip. It was perfect. That's how Area 51 was born.

Ancient Conspiracy: It's revealed that two factions from the Airlia, an alien species, have been plotting against each other and covertly warring with human stooges for thousands of years on Earth, along with keeping their existence unknown to most. In 2019, what started as a prank on social media almost got very out of hand when 3.5 million people expressed interest in attending an event organized by 20-year-old Matty Roberts, a student from Bakersfield, California. The testing of new and secretive military aircraft is likely responsible for much of the connection between Area 51 and UFOs, especially when considering that the term "UFO" doesn't directly refer to alien spacecraft, despite how it is often perceived in pop culture. Alien Abduction: These were actually faked by Majic-12 to keep people in the dark about what's really going on. People abducted are implanted with fake memories which make it appear real. Kids are going to love this unputdownable, extra-fun, extra-hilarious, extra-mysterious, extraterrestrial adventure.”—SarahMlynowski, New York Times bestselling author of the Whatever After series and the Upside-Down Magic seriesCharacter Filibuster: Several times necessary information is explained by a person giving a long lecture on some topic. This is justified as they're usually scientists or other experts explaining this to a lay person, and they react in a realistic way through expressing annoyance at unnecessary verbosity or asking that the scientific terminology be dumbed down for them. EXCLUSIVE: Jason Blum Confirms Oren Peli's Area 51 Is Finished And Will Be Released...Someday". 14 March 2015. Second Coming: Some alien-worshiping cults present aliens as the promised saviors come again to aid humanity. The Great Flood: It's revealed to have occurred as a result of Atlantis's long-ago destruction by aliens. However, it wasn't global, but still a substantial enough event to inspire myths around the world. Ancestral Name: Kaji, an old Egyptian man who guards the secret of the Sphinx, inherited his name from his ancestors. Both the name and duty are passed down by the males in his family. We are shown in the late 1800s another Kaji had guided Richard Francis Burton to the Sphinx. The line and name end with the latest, 21st century ones, since Abdu Al Iblis murders both the father and son.

Plot Hole: When the first nine books were reprinted in e-book form, the author added references to make their setting updated. Unfortunately, they conflict. For instance, a reference is left to the Pathfinder launch "a year ago" (in 1997). Che Lu is seventy eight, taking part in Mao's Long March (1934-35) at age seven. This would put Area 51: The Reply in 2005. However we then hear Viking 2 had been launched to Mars "over thirty years" ago. Since that was 1976, this would put things somewhere past 2006. It seems like this could have been avoided by simply keeping the original setting, or omitting such references entirely. God Guise: More than once the Airlia pretended to be gods, and were worshiped as such. Due to being immortal (although not invincible) and having incredible powers as a result of their technology (even to modern humans) this was easy. Even while not impersonating deities, they pretend to be similar figures like Shi Huangdi, China's semi-divine first Emperor. That's about all we know about Area 51. As for UFOs, there's a bit more: The government's investigation of unidentified phenomena did not end with Operation Blue Book. Nanomachines: The Airlia utilize nanites to for taking control of or transforming human technology, and regenerating their own injuries.

After the incident, Reid becomes fascinated with aliens and Area 51. Reid spends months planning to infiltrate Area 51 to uncover the base's secrets. However, Reid's obsessive extraterrestrial research leaves him detached from his family and he loses his job. Reid recruits Darrin and Ben to help him infiltrate Area 51. Together with Jelena, another conspiracy theorist whose father worked at Area 51, they contrive to sneak onto the military base using signal jammers, night vision goggles, Freon-laced jumpsuits, and pills to mask their ammonia levels.
