An outstanding British television documentary crew recently travelled to the
United States to conduct an in-depth investigation into the top secret USAF
Nevada facility known as Area 51. The Groom Lake base has also been tagged
'Dreamland' by UFO enthusiasts, convinced that recovered alien spacecraft
are being housed there for 'backengineering' purposes.
Dreamland is the appropriately named title of a unique two-part television
documentary made by top British TV producer Bruce Burgess and his team from
Trans Media Productions Limited, London. It will be broadcast on Sky
Television in two one hour segments on 24-25 September. Accompanying Bruce
was acclaimed war cameraman Sebastian Rich.
Burgess and his team climbed a 7,000ft summit to spy on the world's most
secret base. He says: "We climbed for hours in the heat carrying our secret
weapon - a 26 mile zoom camera lens, the most powerful in the world.
"We were told about aliens and saucers, sightings and contact but I
approached the project with enormous scepticism. I did, however, very
quickly appreciate from previous research that something was definitely
going on at Area 51 but what I learned there dumbfounded me. We could see in
the hazy distance a ramshackle collection of hangars baking beneath the
desert sun. It didn't look like much more than a small landing base.
"Walking across was out of the question, we would be detected instantly as
the base was guarded by attack helicopters, armed guards and sensors
triggered by motion, microwave and perspiration."
FLIGHT INTO THE UNKNOWN
Burgess decided to get closer to the installation by a means that no one had
previously dared contemplate - he would fly over the base.
"We could only find one pilot bold enough to fly into the forbidden
territory," he says. "By the time we had got within a mile of the hangars in
our crop spraying Cessna, two F-16 fighter jets screamed past on both sides.
Any nearer and the jet wash would have sent us spinning down. We had no
option but to fly out of there - fast. But we had our mission to complete
and so we spent months observing the base.
"We quickly discovered that there was more to it than just a few hangars.
Every morning, a dozen Boeing 737s depart from Las Vegas, 70 miles away, for
Area 51's runway. They disgorged almost 2,000 personnel. The men only
reappear for their transport home but we were told that none of what we saw
existed and were harassed rebuffed and redirected at every turn."
The film crew discovered that the workers operated in a subterranean
operations centre 'which would make James Bond movies look positively low
budget.' "Best of all," adds Burgess, "despite the testimonies of a string
of former employees and senior military officers - not to mention all of the
above being faithfully recorded on film - the US government insists none of
it even exists. Why the secrecy?"
Dreamland will feature credible and incredible statements from unbelievable
and believable characters, ranging from Bob Lazar to attributed quotes from
former deputy director of the CIA, Admiral Bobby Ray Inman; from a 70 year
old man who claimed to have worked with an alien technical advisor called
Jarod for 15 years, to former Apollo 14 astronaut Captain Edgar Mitchell.
Burgess says:" If, two years ago, anyone had told me I would one day have a
healthy belief in the existence of aliens, I would, quite frankly, have
laughed out loud.
"Yet now I have no doubts, I've seen a thriving base that the US government
denies. I've heard the testimonies of sane and plain speaking scientists,
I've spoken to witnesses.
"Now I know that, in our world, here and now, the US government is
recreating extraordinary spacecraft. And that the technology used is derived
entirely from the discovery of flying saucers which have crashed on this
planet. Yes, I believe in aliens."
Sebastian Rich is a former ITN cameraman who was reporter Martin Bell's
favourite war-zone companion and the veteran of three decades of front-line
reporting. Rich has seen a great deal and is not easily hoodwinked.
He says: "We all thought it was nonsense when the idea first came up. I've
heard of flying saucers and aliens but dismissed it, naturally. To me, a
believer in such things was always to be seen as barking mad.
"But I have become convinced that the US government has these discs."
