Warning signs around Area 51 make it clear that no trespassers will be tolerated.
The USAF warned that Area 51 "is an open training range for the US Air Force, and we would discourage anyone from trying to come into the area where we train American armed forces".
It added: "The US Air Force always stands ready to protect America and its assets."

The secrecy surrounding Area 51 has helped fuel many conspiracy theories.
Most famous is the claim that the site hosts an alien spacecraft and the bodies of its pilots, after they crashed at Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. The US government says there were no aliens and the crashed craft was a weather balloon.
Others claim to have seen UFOs above or near the site, while some say they have been abducted by aliens, and even experimented on, before being returned to Earth.

Area 51 was created during the Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union as a testing and development facility for aircraft, including the U-2 and SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance planes.
Although it opened in 1955, its existence was only officially acknowledged by the CIA in August 2013.

Area 51 refers to a map location and is the popular name for a United States Air Force base. It is at Groom Lake, a dry lake bed in the Nevada Desert, 85 miles (135km) north of Las Vegas.
What goes on inside is extremely secret. Members of the public are kept away by warning signs, electronic surveillance and armed guards.
According to the US military, it represents "a flexible, realistic and multidimensional battle-space to conduct testing tactics development, and advanced training".

The celebration with the ball has been taking place since 1907 in a sort of square between Broadway, Seventh Avenue, and Times Square. Until 1903, it was called Longacre and it wasn't very significant. It began when the New York Times building was inaugurated. The editor, Alfred Ochs, renamed the area in honor of the newspaper.

However, then the relevant authorities banned fireworks. So in 1907, Ochs had to come up with something new. Then was born the idea of a lighted ball at the top of the building. At first, the ball was lowered the last 10 seconds to the bottom of the pole. Since then, the ball has appeared every year (except for 1942 and 1943 due to the electricity deprivation caused by World War II).]]> 2023-04-12 19:33:49 UTC https://padlet.com/iezzimassimo2009/jz695hzspmvcxll6/wish/2552074209 Ball story iezzimassimo2009 https://padlet.com/iezzimassimo2009/jz695hzspmvcxll6/wish/2552075803 Originally, the ball was very heavy (about 300 kg). So in 1920, it was replaced with a lighter one weighing about 180 kg. Then it was replaced again until it weighed 68 kg. In the 1980s, it was modified to look like an apple (referring to New York's nickname, "The Big Apple" from the marketing campaign "I Love New York"). The New Year's Eve of 2000 brought the new crystal sphere and the fully computerized device (now it would drop on its own through the use of a synchronized electric winch with the time signal from the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The first descent with the new system was not without problems, an error caused the ball to stop for a brief moment halfway down).The 2007 Centennial Ball Drop saw the replacement of traditional bulbs with new LED lights, as many as 672 modules capable of emitting 16 million color shades.]]> 2023-04-12 19:35:42 UTC https://padlet.com/iezzimassimo2009/jz695hzspmvcxll6/wish/2552075803 iezzimassimo2009 https://padlet.com/iezzimassimo2009/jz695hzspmvcxll6/wish/2552076918 2023-04-12 19:37:04 UTC https://padlet.com/iezzimassimo2009/jz695hzspmvcxll6/wish/2552076918 iezzimassimo2009 https://padlet.com/iezzimassimo2009/jz695hzspmvcxll6/wish/2552077395 2023-04-12 19:37:38 UTC https://padlet.com/iezzimassimo2009/jz695hzspmvcxll6/wish/2552077395 https://padlet.com/iezzimassimo2009/jz695hzspmvcxll6/wish/2553051178 The Hollywood Walk Of Fame, or the "walk of Hollywood celebrities"The history of the Walk Of Fame begins in the fifties, when the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce had the idea of ​​offering a tribute to artists who have distinguished themselves for important contribution to the entertainment industry Actress Joanne Woodward is the first to receive a dedicated star, in 1960 today the Walk Of Fame has 2,700 stars
