Area 51 Website Owner raided by FBI and Air Force

Area-51

FBI agents busted into the doors of homes owned by Joerg Aru and his girlfriend. Aru is the owner of the UFO website Dreamland Resort.  The site started in 1999, chronicles the top-secret military facility located in the Nevada desert, known as Area 51.

Agents from the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, as well as the FBI, issued search warrants on homes in Las Vegas and the tiny town of Rachel, Nevada on November 3.

The Rachel house is just outside the Groom Lake facility which is supposedly the heart of Area 51. 

According to the Las Vegas Journal-Review, these raids were to seize information as part of a joint agency probe.

Arnu claimed on a YouTube video that he does not know the reason for the raid. And is not sure which images of the secret base he posted may have initiated such vigorous action by federal law enforcement.

The site has images and videos taken from near the base. It shows satellite images of the facility. And there are articles about training exercises and advanced military testing. There’s a blog about a possible 2021 sighting of the stealth drone known as RQ-180.  

The site also features some photos of UFOs.

After asking the agents what they were looking for, “I was only told that the search was related to images posted on my Area 15 website.”

The website developer has since scrubbed some of the images from the Dreamland site in an attempt to remove whatever offended the feds. 

 

 

Area 51 

 Arnu said that each residence was raided by the FBI in a “no-knock warrant” by 1,5-20 agents in full riot gear” and it hap,pened “without any warning.” And claimed that he lost “over $20k in equipment taken and over $5k in damage.” 

Area 51 is located within the Nevada Test and Training Range, over 100 miles northwest of Las Vegas.

The government is said to do advanced testing on highly classified projects.

The Lockheed’s U-2 and SR-71 strategic reconnaissance aircraft were tested here. And the F-117 stealth Nighthawk took its maiden flight in the Nevada desert. 

This is the mysterious place where a cottage industry has sprung up regarding all the UFOs and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP).

 The Air Force did not acknowledge Area 51 until 2013. 

Zerohedge.com reports that all “computers, files, phones, photos and drone” were “seized.” His medical, tax and financial records, personal contacts and photos were all taken. 

“My girlfriend was led out into the street barefoot and only in her underwear in full view of the neighbors,” he said. “I was led outside, handcuffed and only in a t-shirt and sweats in sub-freezing temperatures.”

 

 Lt. Col. Bryon McGarry, spokesman for Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas said, "This is an open and ongoing law enforcement investigation between the Las Vegas FBI and Air Force OSI.” 

“I believe the search, executed with completely unnecessary force by overzealous government agents was meant as a message to silence the Area 51 research community,” he said.

Arnu also claims the warrant issued for the search had 40 pages missing, the case file was sealed, and the FBI was not returning his calls.
