Area 51 'aliens pictured' after CIA breaks silence

The enigma of Area 51 has intrigued the globe for years, especially among conspiracy theorists who are captivated by the idea of alien life.

Thanks to recent AI technology, we now have a sneak peek into what the alleged extraterrestrials housed at the military base might resemble.

The digitally created images portray various potential alien ethnicities, ranging from the traditional large-headed, big-eyed beings to more humanoid creatures from outer space.

Intriguingly, some of the AI interpretations even depict these aliens adopting earthly fashion trends, donning popular aviator sunglasses to shield against the Nevada sun, reports the Express US.

Through AI generated imagery, the Daily Express US has assisted believers in visualising what the supposed alien inhabitants of Area 51 could potentially look like.

The AI generator envisioned aliens with mid to long-white hair and aviator-style sunglasses.

One even bore an uncanny resemblance to a prominent US politician - let us know who you think it is in the comments section.

Area 51, a site solely dedicated to top-secret research, has long been the centre of attention for UFO enthusiasts hoping to spot signs of extraterrestrial life.

Despite the intense scrutiny, US Government officials have kept silent about the activities conducted at the Nevada base, which has been classified as top secret for decades.

The fascination surrounding Area 51, officially known as Homey Airport, has firmly embedded it in UFO folklore.

The facility, located 83 miles northwest of Las Vegas, was acquired by the US Air Force and CIA in 1955 to conduct flight tests on the Lockheed U-2 aircraft.

Despite the rumours circulating about military operations in the area, it wasn't until 2014 that the CIA confirmed the existence of the air base, following a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that unveiled details of its history.

However, the purpose of Area 51 and the origins of its notorious nickname have remained cloaked in mystery for nearly seven decades. Some speculate that the aliens housed within Area 51 bear a resemblance to humans and wear uniforms similar to those of the US Air Force.

Organisers jokingly urged Facebook users to unite and raid the Nevada site in search of evidence of extraterrestrial life, believed to be concealed within the base, including actual aliens.

Despite the turnout of around 1,500 spectators for the event, officials' preparations in the days leading up to it successfully prevented any storming of Area 51.

Situated near what's now known as the 'Extraterrestrial Highway' due to numerous UFO sightings, Area 51 is a must-visit for enthusiasts.

Beginning just 90 minutes from Las Vegas in Crystal Springs, Route 375 leads UFO enthusiasts northward to Tonopah through the notorious settlement of Rachel.

This isolated hamlet is essential for anyone fascinated by unidentified flying objects, sitting closest to the legendary Area 51.

One day, a lucky traveller may stumble upon extraterrestrials similar to our AI-created pictures taking a stroll near the facility.

Yet what is it about Area 51 that captures our imagination so powerfully?

Psychology expert David Ludden believes the lasting obsession with Area 51 comes from the veil of secrecy the US Government has inadvertently maintained throughout the decades.

Ludden explains that the confidential work carried out at the Nevada airbase leaves even doubters wondering what secrets lie within.

Speaking to Time, he said: "In one sense, it is a conspiracy, because it's a secret area.

"The government actually is doing something it doesn't want us to know about."

In a classic portrayal of alien beings, the AI showed the otherworldly guests at Area 51 appearing somewhat startled, as though they'd been discovered wandering outdoors in fine conditions.

This comes as NASA monitors an 'alien' object hurtling towards Earth at 135,000 mph.
