OFFICIALS have tried to stop a blockbuster UFO film blowing the lid off the U.S. Government's biggest military secret.
Independence Day starring Jeff Goldblum refers to Area 51, a mysterious test zone where scientists are rumoured to hold UFO's and even living aliens.
Worried officials asked film chiefs not to mention it, fearing UFO watchers would besiege the Nevada desert base.
But they refused and the Pentagon withdrew help making the thriller, about an alien bid to take over Earth.
