Situated in the Nevada desert, this is the most off-limits site in the world. Rooted in the Cold War era, this area has been a testing ground for military aircrafts and defence systems.
This secrecy and restriction started a wave of rumours, from crashed UFOs and captured alien technology to shady government trials, literally all of them. While there is no hard proof for any of these myths, the place has secured its spot among most mysteriously forbidden places.
Naturally, such tight-lipped secrecy birthed a tidal wave of rumours, everything from crashed UFOs and captured alien tech to shady government trials. While these wild claims lack hard proof, they’ve successfully cemented the base’s legendary status.
Can you visit? Not at all. The area is fiercely protected, and crossing the line could land you with hefty fines or a stint in detention. That said, plenty of travellers cruise down Nevada’s “Extraterrestrial Highway,” stopping at nearby vantage points to soak up the eerie, barren landscape bordering the base.
