The terrified motorcyclists, who had just ridden past a sign which warned that 'deadly force' was authorized against trespassers, were forced to put their hands up when the two mystery men held them at gunpoint.

"We are a father and son team of adventure travelers. This was part of a larger trip to be lead presenters on Area 51 in Yosemite. On our way home, we were going by Area 51. I have mapped out several hidden entrances and we were exploring this hidden entrance. We saw the truck going up the road ahead of us and we followed them up. They turned around and came back down the road. We have been there many times and we were probably recognized and they turned around and came after us. As we stopped on the public land side of the boundary, they blocked the road", says McCulloughs.

Area 51 is located 83 miles north of Las Vegas in Nevada and is classified as a US military installation. For years, it was one of the US government’s worst-kept secrets, until it was officially acknowledged by the CIA in 2013 and its location revealed. The intense secrecy concerning what went on at Area 51 has made it the frequent subject of conspiracy theories - most famously that it is a centre for research on aliens and UFOs.
