Travels in Dreamland
The Unnatural History of the Most Secret Places on Earth
By Phil Patton
It is the most secret place in America maybe on Earth: Area 51, Groom Lake, Paradise Ranch, The Box...Dreamland. This is the official military air traffic control name for the area of Groom Dry Lake, Nevada, which since 1954 has been the secret test site for advanced aircraft the U 2 Spy craft, the Stealth Fighter, robot planes and some say, alien craft. The book traces the history of the place and the history of those who speculate on what is there. It tracks the way secrecy inspires fantasy and charts the parallel culture of the "Stealthies" and UFO buffs.
