Welcome back young detectives. Two mysteries of science. This is the show that's always on the case.

From the archives, we've recovered a top secret file, Area 51. Is it just a dusty desert base or a

landing strip for little green visitors? The truth is definitely out there and it won't stay hidden

from us for too long. So buckle up. This is an

extraterrestrial mystery and it's about to take off. Beam me up. Hello and welcome to

Mysteries and Science. My name's Dan and I'm the editor of Science and Nature, which is the monthly magazine from the team behind the week junior.

And I'm Michael, the acting deputy editor. On this podcast, we investigate strange creatures, weird events, and mysterious places.

And speaking of mysterious places, today, we're going to investigate perhaps, perhaps, the most

mysterious place on planet Earth, which I tell you what it is, somewhere called Area 51.

Now, have you ever heard of that place?

Well, you might not have done because it's a very secretive military base in the US in the Nevada desert.

No one quite knows what goes on there, but they think it might have something to do with aliens.

Wow.

So, area 51, go straight to area 50, turn left.

If you get to area 52.

You've gone too far. Absolutely. If you see to Area 52... You've gone too far.

Absolutely.

You see Area 49, you've not gone far enough.

So, you've got a top secret place with strange happenings.

This, I think we're set for a really, truly out of this world's mystery.

Let's see if we can sneak in and get some answers.

This is Mysteries of Science.
