What would you guys do if Area51 was abandonned completely? so that the area is completely open to the public? ofcourse all cool stuff will be gone but still, would it still be attractive to you?

No, but they are an important contractor at the base! The base is run by the US Department of Defense, according to our research. People say it's not a military base, and that is true. Groom Lake is a research center.Remember: There is more to the Defense Department then military! The armed forces are only one small part of the defense department!

Okay. But Eg&g owns the jannet airlines and the security guards.. Locker head owns some hangars and stuff. Did the defense department bay it or have it always owns the place?

Some of the facilities are loaned to contractors for their black projects. Think of it like an apartment complex for Black Projects, the Pentagon OWNS it, but they lease some facilities to contractors. Also, our research suggests that Some ( But Not All) of the companies at the base are most likely CIA fronts! Not everything at Groom Lake is what it seems to be!

EG&G owns the base on paper. Also on paper, they lease areas of it out to both contractors (such as Lockheed), and various military branches (mostly the Navy and Air Force Intel). Many such leases are long-term. I believe the majority of the residential compound, and many hangars are under perma-lease to Lockheed. Because it isn't "owned" by the US Government per se, they are being perfectly factual when they state that Area 51 is NOT a government base and there is no US military base there. This is why there is Private security there instead of military (though in areas currently under lease by the military, the forces can be military ones.) Each lease-holder "runs" their own area.

No doubt the research project here likely turned up the same things...haven't really checked out the ATS project on it...
EDIT: Come to think of it, there was a very good documentary on this a while back too...I believe I have it on tape, focusing just on the origins and history behind Area 51. They even try to interview base employees leaving the Janet terminals, etc. in the parking lot, but eventually get stopped by security, then questioned by the cops.

No it didn't! The Groom Lake Research Project found that the US Department of Defense OWNS Groom Lake! Here is a list of Facts to support my claim:
1. Groom Lake is on land that has been owned by the US Defense Department since World War 2 (if you don't believe me, Go look up the land deed for the Nellis Air Force Range Complex!)
2. The Base was design and built using funds from the CIA in the early 50's
3. The origional purpose of the base was to provide a testing and operations base for CIA spy planes (U-2, A-12 Blackbird, D-21, ect.)
4. Remember the land seizure by the government? Federal law states that they can't expand property that isn't theirs
