4) Area 51, United States

For many, Area 51 is the world’s most notorious inaccessible place. Area 51’s official name is Edwards Air Force Base, an isolated detachment of the United States Air Force located in Southern Nevada, approximately 83 miles north-northwest of Las Vegas. It is believed that the site of Area 51 was initially acquired by the US air force in 1955 and used to flight test a new aircraft. The facility has always been shrouded in complete secrecy, the US government even formally denied its existence, so people have come up with their own theories as to its use. The most popular theory is that Area 51 is used to store crashed alien space crafts and experiment on aliens, both living and dead. The popularity of this theory has turned the area around Area 51 into a popular tourist destination. In 2013, in response to a Freedom of Information Act, the CIA publicly acknowledged the existence of Area 51 and released a series of formerly classified documents about its use to the public but Area 51 is still completely closed off to the public.
