Raiding Area 51 is an idiotic idea. It's all underground sans the airfield and a few aircraft hangers. You won't even get close to what used to be called "Freedom Ridge." It's all monitored with IR, video and audio tech since Bell outed this stuff back in the mid 90's. The government have fast reaction teams that will swoop down on anyone getting within miles of the ridge. It's all sage brush desert. I've spend a pretty good amount of time in that area of Nevada / Death Valley and the only thing I've seen there are military jets on training runs - that in itself is very cool - but it ain't aliens.
