The owner of a website that compiles information about Area 51 believes the military is testing new technology at a covert “base within a base” in the Nevada desert.
Joerg Arnu has run dreamlandresort.com since the beginning of the Internet. The site launched in 1999 and features a forum for equally enthusiastic fans to exchange theories about what happened at Air Force installations.
Arnu, a self-proclaimed ‘Area 51 research veteran,’ is one of about 50 people who live in Rachel, Nevada, just outside the military base.
And despite having 25 years of research under his belt, the webmaster can’t seem to crack the mystery.
“They have years and years and decades of experience hiding things,” Arnu said. 8 news now.
Joerg Arnu, owner of dreamlandresort.com, believes the US military is testing cutting-edge technology in the Nevada desert.
Joerg has been documenting events around Area 51 since 1999 from his home in Rachel, located just outside the base.
The Air Force installation, located 120 miles from Las Vegas, has been shrouded in mystery since its founding nearly seven decades ago.
‘Look at some of the exotic aircraft, like the Tacit Blue, which was developed in total secrecy, flown in secret, and all of a sudden they put it in a museum and said, ‘Yeah, we had this for a while.'”
Area 51, located 120 miles from Las Vegas, has been shrouded in secrecy since its founding in 1955, when it was established as part of the Nevada Test and Training Range complex.
Reports of “unidentified flying objects” soon began to emerge. These seemed to arise from tests of the U-2 aircraft, which could fly up to 50,000 feet higher than normal aircraft of the time.
Since then, Area 51 has continued to serve as a testing ground for other stealth aircraft such as the F-117A, A-12, and Tacit Blue.
The military only acknowledged the base’s existence in 2013, when George Washington University’s National Security Archive obtained a previously classified document about the U-2.
Before that, efforts were made to share more information about the facilities. In the early 2000s, an Area 51 guard dog named Chuck Clark revealed that the military had placed sensors miles outside the base’s boundaries, prompting a raid on his home.
And he was not the only one, as Arnu’s properties were invaded by armed counter-terrorism agents in November 2022.
He was in bed at his home in Rachel when about two dozen officers burst through the door, handcuffed him and took him outside for questioning.
But all that curiosity came at a price, as Arnu and his girlfriend, Linda Hellow, were the subject of an FBI raid in November 2022.
According to a search warrant, Arnu was suspected of violating Title 18 of the United States Code, accused of “conspiracy” and “photographing defense installations.”
The webmaster believes that cutting-edge military technologies, such as drones and unmanned fighter aircraft, are being tested at Area 51.

More than 100 miles away in Las Vegas, his girlfriend Linda Hellow was similarly awakened by FBI agents who ordered her downstairs at gunpoint.
The agents confiscated four of Arnu’s computers, several hard drives, phones, cameras and a drone. They also stole photographs of their late parents and records containing personal information.
Arnu received a search warrant reviewed by DailyMail.com, which begins on page 40. The document states that Arnu violated Title 18 of the United States Code, accusing him of “conspiracy” and “photographing defense installations.”
He later learned that the raid was carried out by a joint team of the FBI and the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, a counterintelligence wing that investigates terrorist groups that target the Air Force.
Almost two years later, Arnu is not sure if he will face jail time. However, the government’s case against him – whatever it may be – has not stopped him from continuing his mission.
The webmaster said he suspects military technology such as drones and unmanned fighter jets are being tested at Area 51.
“They’re flying drones, obviously,” Arnu said. ‘The Russians and the Chinese are working on things to block our drones, we are working on things to block their drones. The next step is how to make drone communications more secure.’
However, the tests are carried out under even greater secrecy, in a “base within a base” that is only visible to those who have their own satellite.
Arnu is not sure if he will face jail time, but the raid did not stop him from continuing to investigate the mystery surrounding Area 51.

He says the experiments are taking place in a highly secure “base within a base” north of Groom Lake that is only visible to those who have their own satellite.
“They have a whole empty valley just north of Groom Lake, and they have a mountain range where they can play with anything they want,” Arnu explained.
All of this information and more can be found at dreamlandresort.com, which has been operating ad-free since March 2019.
An eye-catching sign on the site encourages people to donate to GoFundMe and reads: “Freedom of speech under attack: The FBI wants to shut us down with unwarranted raids and false accusations.” Help us fight for our First Amendment right!’
Arnu has no intention of abandoning his mission anytime soon, and he doesn’t think the shadowy agents testing military technology in the desert plan to stop either.
“It’s booming there,” Arnu said. “Area 51 isn’t going anywhere.”
