Area 51 Gets Cool Reviews on Google Maps

(Nov. 29) -- In the worlds of weird, conspiracy theories and government cover-ups, a leading contender for top honors would definitely be Area 51 -- the secret military installation located in a Nevada desert -- that's allegedly home to alien spaceships.

Google Maps allows Web surfers to easily find and make maps by offering street maps, route planners and satellite images.

So it's not surprising that visitors checking out Area 51 on Google Maps would leave some comments on what they found.
