The secrets locked inside Area 51 have intrigued the world for generations – and occupied the minds of conspiracy theorists obsessed with alien life.
Now we finally know what the aliens allegedly kept on the military base actually look like, according to cutting-edge AI.
The digital photographs show what different extraterrestrial ethnic groups could look like, varying from the more classical depiction of aliens with big heads and big eyes to humanoid life forms from outer space.
Some of the AI reimaginings even showed the aliens taking up earthly fashion styles and donning popular aviator sunglasses to survive the Nevada sunshine.
Area 51 dedicated to Top Secret research only
UFOs watchers have kept their eyes trained on Area 51 for decades hoping to catch a glimpse of alien life.
US Government officials have never disclosed what operations take place at the Nevada base, but all research conducted there has been classed as top secret for decades.
The base has long been a thrilling enigma for anyone looking to learn more about alien life.
Area 51 – officially known as Homey Airport – has become completely embedded in UFO folklore.

The CIA stayed silent on Area 51 for 58 years
The facility, which is located 83 miles northwest of Las Vegas, was acquired in 1955 by the US Air Force and CIA to flight test the Lockheed U-2 aircraft.
Despite the lore about military operations in the area, the CIA didn’t acknowledge the existence of the air base until 2014 – and only after a Freedom of Information Act (FOI) request unveiled details of its history.
But the purpose of Area 51, as well as the origin of its most notorious nickname, have remained veiled in mystery for nearly 70 years.

Public attempt made to storm Area 51 thwarted
In 2019, UFOs watchers even tried to finally expose the true nature of the airbase with the Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us event.
The organizers jokingly urged Facebook users to join forces and raid the Nevada site to locate proof of extraterrestrial life long believed to be concealed inside the base, including proper aliens.
Around 1,500 watchers showed up for the event but preparations by officials in the days ahead ultimately resulted in the storming of Area 51 being thwarted.
Some of the aliens the AI generator imagined sported mid to long-white hair and donned aviator-inspired sunglasses.
One of them even looked eerily similar to a leading US politician – tell Daily Express US who they remind you of in the comment section.

Area 51 turned from alien attraction to tourism hub
Area 51 is located near what has come to be known as the Extraterrestrial Highway because of the multiple sightings of UFOs recorded in the area.
Route 375 kicks off only an hour and a half out of Las Vegas in Crystal Springs, taking alien watchers all the way north to Tonopah via the infamous town of Rachel.
The remote community has long been a must-see for all UFO seekers as it is the closest populated enclave near Area 51.
Someday a lucky adventurer might even stumble into a group of aliens looking just like our AI reimagining as they enjoy some fresh air around the base.

What makes Area 51 so fascinating?
Psychology professor David Ludden argued the fascination with Area 51 has remained so deep-rooted because of the secrecy the US Government has inadvertently fueled over the years.
Ludden noted the classified nature of the research taking place at the Nevada air base has also left the most skeptical of individuals wondering if there is more to see behind closed doors.
Speaking to Time, he said: “In one sense it is a conspiracy, because it’s a secret area.
“The government actually is doing something it doesn’t want us to know about.”
And in its most traditional-looking interpretation of alien life, the AI gave the extraterrestrial guests of Area 51 a rather surprised look, as if caught enjoying a promenade outside and enjoying some good weather.
