There are many discussions on whether aliens exist or not or whether they have any secret hideouts in the world. Many people keep searching Google Earth and other apps or websites to find such hideouts. But recently a post has gone viral on social media in which a person has claimed that he has obtained evidence of nuclear explosions i.e. testing at a place often in controversy. After this, many users also shared their claims. But there is another aspect to this.
Interestingly, the area where the claim is made, Area 51, has long been associated with conspiracy theories and speculations. From aliens to government cover-ups, the mystery surrounding the ultra-secure Nevada desert location has given birth to a legion of internet sleuths, desperate to get to the bottom of what goes on there.
In a viral post uploaded to Reddit earlier this week, a user believed he had made a breakthrough and shared a photo of a “1/4 mile crater” from Google Earth with the caption, “I think I found a ‘nuclear city’ near Area 51.”
Within hours, the post had garnered 29,000 upvotes and hundreds of comments. One commented, “You will find endless amounts of these on Google Earthing around Nevada…” One user shared a picture of what they had discovered and said, “On (free desktop app) Google Earth Pro you can find out which bomb caused each crater.” While another commented, “Dude, they are UFO crash sites.”
