Workers formerly employed at Area 51 allegedly experience gravely harmful effects to their lives after being part of the top-secret facility
A group of veterans who worked at the highly classified US Air Force base, Area 51, located in Nevada, have come forward with claims of life-threatening health conditions, which they attribute to exposure to nuclear radiation while on duty [1][2].
David Crete, a former Air Force Sergeant who worked at the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) from 1983 through 1987, is one such individual. Crete, who now runs a nonprofit called The Invisible Enemy, has brain atrophy, according to the Cleveland Clinic [1]. In 2016, he hosted a reunion BBQ and invited his fellow Air Force friends to his Las Vegas home. Since then, more than eight people who attended the reunion have reportedly developed tumors [1].
Crete is not alone in his struggles. Mike Nemcic has faced four bouts of cancer: throat, salivary gland, bladder, and colon [1]. Robert Krouse has had cancer twice, resulting in the removal of 80 percent of his tongue [1]. Randy Groves, another veteran who attended the reunion, mentioned having a lump on his back and later developed multiple tumors [1].
These former staff members claim they cannot get the government-provided medical treatment and compensation they say they deserve due to 'Data Masked' records [1]. The US Department of Defense denies these veterans were ever at Area 51, citing these classified records [1]. However, Veterans Affairs has stated they attempt to gather veterans' records, including medical and service records, and provide medical examinations if necessary [1].
Area 51, known for its secrecy, has those who work there sworn to secrecy [1]. The base is located within the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) and is associated with numerous special projects and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) incidents [4]. There have been testimonies by former Department of Defense officials indicating that some U.S. government employees have been injured in connection with these projects or UAP incidents, which may include exposure to unknown hazards leading to injuries or illnesses [4].
The Invisible Enemy, Crete's nonprofit, is fighting for government transparency, pushing for legislation that would provide medical treatment and compensation for military personnel and their families who were exposed to contamination at the Nevada Test and Training Range [3]. While the US government's response to these claims has been complex, with many service records classified, the credible firsthand assertions and some legal action regarding health consequences linked to Area 51 service continue to surface.
