Barnes believes the Air Force and the "Agency" didn't mind the stories about alien spacecraft. They helped cover up the secret planes that were being tested.
On one occasion, he remembers, a test pilot put on a gorilla mask and flew upside down beside a private pilot.
"Well, when this guy went back, telling reporters, 'I saw a plane that didn't have a propeller and being flown by a monkey,' well, they laughed at this guy — and it got where the guys would see [test pilots] and they didn't dare report it because everybody'd laugh at them," says Barnes.
Something that all Area 51 vets remember about living at the base, he says, was the great food. "They had these cooks come up from Vegas. They were like regular chefs," Noce remembers. "Day or night, you could get a steak, whatever you wanted." Lobster was flown in regularly from Maine. A jet, sent across the country to test its engines, would bring back the succulent payload.
Noce worked at Area 51 from early 1962 to late 1965.

That doesn't debunk the stories from the mid 70s to the 90s. Lazer story is ambiguous in elements, but some parts are fascinating. Then there is that bizarre call to Coast to Coast AM, with the Area 51 worker freaking out and the station being cut off.
