US Air Force veterans working at Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR), known as the secretive Area 51, revealed shocking details about members of the staff dying and suffering from the same deadly illness after being exposed to radiation during “top secret” projects.
Area 51 has been the subject of numerous speculations over the years, with people reporting seeing aliens and UFOs next to the site that has been closed for years. There have also been conspiracy theories about alien equipment being kept there.
Former Air Force Sergeant David Crete, who worked at the base between 1983 and 1987, claims an “invisible enemy” was responsible for the deaths of more than 490 people at Area 51. He and other former colleagues of his believe the government handed them a death sentence without their knowledge by letting them work in an area contaminated with radiation from years of nuclear testing.
Crete opened up about his health during testimony before the House Veterans Affairs Committee in April, stating that the toll on both his own health and that of his colleagues has been devastating.
“I have brain atrophy. The left side of my brain is shrinking and dying. That’s not too bad. I’m one of the healthy ones,” he said.
Crete added that his time at the base ‘permanently altered’ his DNA.
“My wife had three miscarriages. One of the guys that I worked with, his wife had seven. All four of my children were born with birth defects or significant health problems.
“It’s not their fault. I’m not saying it’s mine, but I brought it home. It was my DNA that was permanently altered from low-dose, long-term, ionizing radiation exposure.”
Despite concerns about radiation risks at the NTTR, a government report stated that halting the projects would “be against the national interests.”
Veterans, however, have no proof of the exposure to radiation because of the classified nature of their missions. Since their records have been “data masked,” the bill signed in 2000 by then-President Bill Clinton providing benefits and medical help to workers exposed to radiation and toxins at federal facilities doesn’t apply to them.
Crete, along with other veterans, ask the same healthcare rules to apply to those who worked at Area 51.
Two bills — the Protect Act and the Forgotten Veterans Act — have been introduced in Congress to provide more support to NTTR veterans.
According to Crete, the only acknowledgment for their service came from the late US Senator John McCain who was allegedly aware of what was truly happening at NTTR. “He came up to me and he said, ‘Your unit ended the Cold War.’ If you ever wanted validation that what you did was important, that’s just about it,” Crete recalled.
