Your adventure begins with a glimpse of the mysterious Janet Airlines—often called the airline that doesn’t officially exist!

Hidden in plain sight for decades, it's the perfect kickoff to your journey into Nevada’s most intriguing secrets.

Stop 2
Embark on a journey through one of the world's most desolate and scenic deserts as you make your way to the enigmatic Area 51. Traverse the legendary Extraterrestrial Highway, where vast, uninhabited landscapes stretch endlessly, offering a backdrop of rugged beauty and mystery. Along the route, you'll encounter an ancient dry lake bed, renowned for frequent UFO sightings and unexplained phenomena, making it a must-visit for adventurers and alien enthusiasts alike.
3
After a scenic drive along the iconic Extraterrestrial Highway, you’ll arrive at the world-famous Little A’Le’Inn—an essential stop for any Area 51 enthusiast. Featured in films like Independence Day and countless documentaries, this quirky outpost is packed with insider stories, alien-themed souvenirs, and local lore. Be sure to check out the detailed Area 51 report by Captain Chuck Clark, a former U.S. Air Force captain, for an in-depth look at one of the world’s most secretive sites.

Stop 4
Next, venture deep into the remote Nevada desert, where you'll reach the absolute perimeter of Area 51. Passing through a bizarre, twisted Joshua Tree forest, you'll spot warning signs that read “Top Secret Military Facility. Keep Out. Use of Deadly Force Authorized.” Surveillance cameras, motion detectors, and armed guards—known as the legendary “Men in Black”—silently monitor the area from unmarked 4x4s on the hillside. Wave if you like, but don’t expect one back.
Though long denied by the U.S. government, Area 51’s existence is now confirmed—yet its purpose remains shrouded in secrecy. This is the ultimate bucket-list adventure for any UFO enthusiast: a real-life X-Files experience to the most mysterious military site on Earth.
