After having served at Area 51 for many years Jim Freedom found himself vaguely curious about the rumors then circulating in the press (this would be the mid 1960s) about UFOs and the seizure of a craft that was itself being stored at Area 51. Very familiar with that base and aware of the many adjacent "areas" to it, Freedom understood very well the insane level of security and how compartmentalized the areas were.
Was it possible?
He posed that question to his boss one day, his commanding officer, while driving into 51. His boss was quiet for a while, at last responding with: "Jim, I don't want to hear you mention anything like that, ever again, if you want to keep your job." Then it was silence the rest of the way.
What an interesting response. Which of course could be taken either way!
Yes, there are craft here, keep mum about it or you break your security clearance and will be fired.
No, and if someone hears you posing that, you'll be fired.
There's never any clarity! Its just an enigma response.
This was taken from Annie Jacobsen's book, Area 51. So far, an excellent and informative read.
