Area 51 is a pile of hangers and a run way that house next gen planes... the reason it's secret is because even the shape and size of an aircraft can give away it's purpose.. in the mean time other governments can build counter measures against it even before the plane goes into production...
Do you know what's next to Area 51? Area 52... it's a square on a map, nothing more.
