Counties, along the northern edge of the Nellis Air Force Range 
between Hiko and Warm Springs, Nevada; and 

    WHEREAS, The United States Air Force (USAF), after years of 
denial, has now officially admitted to operating a facility on the 
Nellis Air Force Range near the dry bed of Groom Lake for testing 
techniques, operations, and systems critical to the effectiveness 
of the United States Military; and 

    WHEREAS, This remote USAF secret testing facility is commonly 
referred to as "Area 51," and is purported to be where the

Stealth attack plane that was so effectively used in the Gulf War 
of 1990; and 

    WHEREAS, "Area 51" and Groom Lake have become a magnet for 
hundreds of people curious about unacknowledged flying objects 
such as an alleged new hypersonic spy plane, and the even more 
exotic Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO's) from outer space; and

is also the home of an extra terrestrial alien facility and that 
aliens have on occasion visited the small community of Rachel, 
"Nevada's UFO Capital"; and 

     WHEREAS, Rachel, which is located on State Route 375, has 
become a mecca for the study of extra terrestrial life, and is the 
staging area for UFO viewing sites near " Area 51"; and

attract between 100 and 200 UFO experts, enthusiasts, and watchers 
from throughout the world; now therefore, be it

the state route; and be it further
