Area 51Clinton said she would open Area 51 files to the public
Hillary Clinton said that if she is elected president, she would open up the files on the mysterious Area 51 and make public as much as possible about what military or other activities have been taken place there. “If there is something there, unless it’s a threat to national security, I think we ought to share it with the public,”’ she said.
Hillary Clinton said that if she is elected president, she would open up the files on the mysterious Area 51 and make public as much as possible about what military or other activities have been taken place there.
Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel’s Talk Show, Clinton said she would go through the files on the secret military area and allow anything which would not pose a national security risk to become public.
The Express reports that her comments by Kimmel, who said he said that he had spoken to Bill Clinton about opening the files relating to Area 51, but that Bill Clinton said he did not find anything there that was interesting.
“Well, I’m going to do it again,” Hillary Clinton said. “I would like us to go into those files and hopefully make as much of that public as possible. If there’s nothing there then let’s let people know there’s nothing there.”
Hillary Clinton added that she would work to reveal anything that she did find in the files – aliens or otherwise.
“If there is something there, unless it’s a threat to national security, I think we ought to share it with the public,” she told Kimmel.
The Express notes that talking about Area 51 seems to have become something of a campaign staple for Hillary Clinton. In January she already promised to “get to the bottom of” Area 51 should she be elected.
Some say the people’s expectations should not be raised, because anything found in the files would probably be boring —or still classified. The head of NASA told the Independent last year that he had been to Area 51, but that it was “not what many think.”
“I’ve been to a place called that but it’s a normal research and development place,” NASA administrator Major Charles Frank Bolden Jr. said. “I never saw any aliens or alien spacecraft or anything when I was there.
“I think because of the secrecy of the aeronautics research that goes on there it’s ripe for people to talk about aliens being there.”
The Independent story quoted Bill Clinton, who confirmed in October that though “a lot of our stealth technology is made there,” there were no aliens in Area 51 when, as president, he looked into the matter.
