UFO Seekers climb 8000 feet for glimpse of Area 51

UFO Seekers take their investigations pretty seriously and even have a branded car

Tim Doyle and Tracey Sue run the YouTube channel UFO Seekers and decided that they wanted a better look at the mysterious United States Air Force facility known as Area 51.

To this end they climbed 8000 feet up Tikaboo Peak in the Nevada desert so they could peer at the secretive military base over the lower ridge that blocks it off from view. They were still over 25 miles away so the pair had to employ some state of the art telescopic photo lenses to get some clear shots.

Many conspiracy theorists think the American government have hidden alien technology or even aliens at Area 51 and several other YouTubers have tried to get close to or even into the base.

The pair say they investigate UFO sightings, black projects and secret military activity in order to try and find some evidence of UFOs existence.

Area 51 has been in use since 1955 although the CIA only officially acknowledged its existence in 2005 via a freedom of information request. The nearby highway is known as the Extraterrestrial Highway and popular with tourists and UFO hunters.
