Area 51, the world's best-known secret military base, generates more interest than nearly any other federal facility. The Nevada base has been associated with flying saucers, wacky weapons, spook-run activities, and just about any military fantasy in the Cold War playbook. One reporter, Annie Jacobsen, managed to interview some of Area 51's personnel in 2009. The most recent issue of The Los Angeles Times Sunday Magazine, where Jacobsen is a contributing editor, ran the piece. It's great fun to read. Her book on the same subject was released earlier this year, and got plenty of attention.
