UFO Hunter Spies New Underground Base Near Area 51

The conspiracy buff also directed his attention toward the two fields located near the suspected underground facility, speculating that these crops might be part of some genetic research programme.

While the US Air Force facility known as Area 51 has already become the staple of conspiracy theories regarding extraterrestrial spacecraft and alien lifeforms, famous UFO hunter Scott C. Waring now claims that a new underground installation is being constructed in the vicinity.

According to Waring, who had apparently stumbled upon this discovery while studying satellite maps, the new facility is located 55 miles to the north-east of Area 51's perimeter.

One YouTuber, however, claimed that Waring’s discovery is merely “an artwork allegedly being made by a single artist” who has been given continuous grants to build these mounds for years.

Michael Heizer's "City" installation will open to the public for the first time on September 2 - roughly 50 years after its construction began. Initially, visitation will be limited and require advance registration.

Artist's mysterious 'City' in the Nevada desert to open after 50 years

"City," a vast complex of outdoor structures and landmasses the land artist Michael Heizer began constructing in the desert of Nevada in 1970, will finally begin welcoming public visitors next month. The site's opening on September 2, more than 50 years after work at the site began, marks the fulfillment of Heizer's most ambitious and career-defining project.

"City" has been described as quite possibly the largest contemporary artwork on the planet, stretching more than a mile and a half long and half a mile wide, evoking the scale of ancient sites like Native American mounds, Mesoamerican metropolises and Egyptian devotional complexes. It is situated in the remote Basin and Range National Monument in central eastern Nevada, within the ancestral lands of the Nuwu (Southern Paiute) and Newe (Western Shoshoni), around 160 miles north of Las Vegas.

For the first year of public accessibility, only a limited number of visitors will be admitted, with mandatory advanced registration. ...

Initially funded by Heizer himself, construction of "City" eventually received the support of many influential collectors, institutions and dealers via the formation in 1998 of the Triple Aught Foundation, which will manage and preserve the site for years to come. ...

Perhaps in response to such threats, Heizer envisions "City" as a project that will endure well beyond the lifespans of even the most treasured and tough contemporary art. ...

"My good friend Richard Serra is building out of military-grade steel," he said in a 2016 New Yorker profile about the project, discussing the American sculptor's large-scale site-specific works. "That stuff will all get melted down. Why do I think that? Incans, Olmecs, Aztecs -- their finest works of art were all pillaged, razed, broken apart and their gold was melted down. When they come out here to f**k my 'City' sculpture up, they'll realize it takes more energy to wreck it than it's worth."
