Hmm… I got the link from the cover story in the SF Chronicle, but the page loads slowly, and not all the links work.

Area 51 hasn’t been used for UFO research since the first Sputniks. Anyone worth his salt knows that the USAF moved its research to Utah and Montana. It’s easier to hide this stuff where there’s nobody around. 🙂
