I'm guessing the explanation for why gays weren't allowed was cut for time, but I actually know the answer to this! During this period it was feared that, due to society's current attitudes, gay people were more prone to blackmail by Soviet intelligence, since most of them had to keep their sexuality secret on account of intense homophobia. This attitude actually caused a "Lavender Scare" during the fifties and sixties, in the US and Canada. Gay or bi men and women working in the government who had this fact discovered about themselves were fired explicitly because of their orientation, in order to prevent Soviet blackmail. Yes, this did create a catch-22 where the exact situation they didn't want was brought about by their own actions, and no, no one implementing these policies ever realized it. So yeah, no surprise they weren't let onto the top-secret air base, the CIA was worried they'd be blackmailed into leaking intelligence, never mind the fact that threatening expulsion made it easier for them to be blackmailed in order to keep their secret.

[@paulghignon4092]

It was usually related to dehydration. When at higher altitudes, your normal body response is to breath faster, even when supplied oxygen. Coupled with wearing that heavy ass suit and the inability to consume proper amounts of water due to weight limits, you'd probably suffer the effects of dehydration within hours. An 8 hour flight with no water would be the same as walking at a fairly brisk speed for 8 hours straight and not consuming any water. Although dehydration does cause excess urinating and potentially diarrhea, so yes they would become dehydrated and begin filling their suit with sweat, poo, and urine. They probably smelt AWFUL after a single flight.

I have an uncle who was in the Air Force. My dad asked him jokingly once about Area 51, and my uncle just responded, "We don't call it that." I do have a feeling he didn't mention it was Groom Lake because, for one, this was before people were completely sure where it was, and also that my dad's family is from the Mojave and would know where that is rather easily. Also, my biggest thought behind Area 51 is that there's nothing there. It's so widely known to be the secret government site, backed up by heavy security and secrecy. I've always thought that it could easily be a smokescreen, and that the juicy secrets are at some other base nobody pays any mind, because they just focus on Groom Lake.

[@dracocrusher]

Honestly, it's not that surprising because aliens in the Doctor Who universe can look like anything, so why not go to Nevada and save a generic dollar-store Area 51 alien? What's really surprising, though, is why he's shocked at all since the in-universe organization "Torchwood" was introduced fairly early on in this Doctor's run as a group that steals alien technology for military gain. So, based on when this came out, this is literally like the Doctor being shocked that humans are stealing alien tech AGAIN just because it's in another part of the world. Heck, even worse, because Torchwood's something made up for the show, it's able to go all-out with the science fiction stuff, which means it puts this dollar-store alien kidnapping to shame with what it's got going on. Yeah, you got a single Grey, that's pretty good... have you seen our gigantic tower that literally rips dimensions apart and houses an infinitely-large object containing tens of millions of the most deadly alien race in the universe???

[@Lugodu87]

@@holographicbunny3297 I don't know, this seems like a really human centered vision. Even if we're talking only about human or above intelligent life forms, we have no idea of how different they could be from us. They could use other things than fingers to grab, like some kind of mouth at the end of arms, suckers like octopuses, or things we can't even imagine. Maybe they wouldn't need for a practical grab at all on their planet. Maybe they would be more nest-based lifeformes like ants or bees (which I could totally see evolving to be more intelligent than humans). It's probable they could be marine animals too. Or maybe a kind of bacterial mess that can modify its structure and shapeshift into anything. Maybe they wouldn't have to use for eyes, maybe they'd have a sonar like bats or dolphins, or extremely powerfull smell like dogs. I could also see the most intelligent life form in the universe being a gigantesque plant or fungus expanding on the totally of a planet's surface and creating some sort of giant neural network. And I'm not even talking of different forms of life that might not be DNA-based or even carbon-based.

For the first minute or so I was only listening to the audio, and that was like "wow sounds freaking awesome. The Doctor goes to area 51? How do I not know this exists? I have the Eccleston/Tennant box set ffs." Then I looked at the screen and I was like "ohh. Right."

[@JamLeGull]

The U2 is a weird plane. Apparently one of the things that made it so hard to fly was that the wings were very thin and at high altitude, there was a very narrow range of attitudes the plane could fly at. If you put it outside that envelope the airflow over the wing becomes supersonic and causes the plane to stall.

[@KilnFirelink]

turns out the air base is just that. Area 51 stuff drives me nuts.

[@independentRestorationServices]

Kiln Firelink it’s just a distraction to keep people’s mind off of real shit. Maybe back in the day real stuff happened there, but we most likely won’t ever hear about the real “secret” stuff.

[@daltonbedore8396]

is it "the most obvious answer is usually the correct one"? if it looks like an airfield, sounds like an airfield and quacks like an airfield well...

I'm totally down for a whole video about Unsolved Mysteries, I watched that show all the time back in the day. RIP Robert Stack.

[@MyKoira]

As a fan of aliens and all that stuff (with healthy levels of scepticism) you did pretty good job telling the story of Area 51, except for one part. Bennewitz was the man behind another alien base (Dulce Base in New Mexico) and the guy behind Area 51 was Bob Lazar, but if you chose to switch them for a better and more comprehensive story, I cannot judge you, because his story is a mess

[@naomi_moon]

dude okay, why does your audio always sound like theres 8 different reverb plugins on it

[@sksthrowaway2270]

mooncaroon literally it’s hard to watch his videos because of this. I feel like he’s going overkill on noise reduction

[@duffman18]

I don't get at all why people started saying this on his vids. Sounds the same as he always has done. Maybe cos I'm not wearing headphones, just playing through my tablet's speakers? It sounds completely fine that way so give that a try

[@jayburn00]

I actually did a school report on the history of area 51 in the early 2000s. Was able to do a pretty good job getting things accurate. Talk about the U-2, why groom lake was chosen, an incident where the entire base had to be temporarily evacuated due to fallout from a nuke test going in a direction the meteorologists had not predicted (right into the base), testing of a mig-21 that previously defected to Israel and other foreign aircraft, how that partly led to the idea of the base testing alien craft since technically they are foreign aircraft, Sr-71 and a-12 development, stealth aircraft development, and the base's current activity. I used an automatically scripted tour in Google earth for my visuals (like a slideshow, but moving from location to location in Google earth instead of slide to slide in PowerPoint).

[@wolfsbaneandnightshade2166]

I remeber hearing that ufos are more likely to be seen near military bases. And I'm like "ah... makes sense "

The F-22 fighter jet was 1st build in the 1989 and we didn't get to see it until 2005. it just stayed in Area 51 for 16 years and probably more. only thing you will find there are some cool weapons.

Also fun fact: Cassie is voiced by Georgia Moffet (Jenny, the Doctor’s daughter, Peter Davidson’s irl daughter, David Tennant’s wife). Russel, buddy, I think when people said that they really wanted Georgia to come back, this isn’t what they had in mind.

[@danielcurtis1434]

I remember watching a documentary show as a kid in the 90s about UFO sightings. I remember one of the pictures which was taken by a cop looked just like a B-2 bomber. This would also seem to explain why there were “no radar signatures in the area”.

Damn straight. I've been trying to explain this to people for years. They don't wanna here it. There was even a documentary made by a journalist, who specialises in writing about aircraft for Jane's, all about this theory. A theory he had written about... a lot. Can't remember a title or name of the guy. It would've been in the middle 00's...

I really don't know why people keep harping on and on and on about how there are aliens in Area 51. The real story about how the US government basically acted out an episode of Fawlty Towers featuring The Air Force and the CIA instead of John Cleese is infinitely more hilarious.
