America’s highly-classified Area 51 is famous across the world for its secrecy and possible links to alien life – but whilst the military base is often under the spotlight, a mysterious former RAF site dubbed “the UK’s own Area 51” often goes under the radar.
The Royal Air Force’s Rudloe Manor in the county of Wiltshire was the centre of Britain’s investigations into UFO life throughout the 1950s and still remains enshrouded in mystery.
Tucked away in the British countryside, the location looks like a normal building from the outside – but underneath the structure lies a complicated network of hidden tunnels and bunkers.

Ministry of Defence officials insist the site was a communications hub before it was abandoned in 2000, but their claims have been slammed as an outright lie by conspiracy theorists on the hunt for the truth about extra-terrestrial life.
The mysterious location, similarly to the United State’s Area 51, has been accused of hiding the remains of a crashed spacecraft from a different planet.
American writer Dorothy Kilgallon claimed that a high-ranking British official admitted to her that an extra-terrestrial entity had crashed into the location in the 1940s.
Others allege the site holds evidence relating to the Berwyn Mountain UFO incident, that saw unexplainable bright lights and sounds in the sky, and the Rendlesham Forest incident, dubbed “Britain’s Roswell” after a series of supposed UFO sightings were never explained.

Conspiracy theorists arguing against the Ministry of Defence have also pointed out that although the site is no longer in official use, it remains fenced off to the public and is under strict guard with security cameras and dogs.
They've questioned the need for the security presence at a base that is supposedly not in use.
Declassified secret files released by the National Archives in 2007 also contradicted official's claims, with documents seen by Sky History reportedly confirming the centre’s usage as a UFO hunting ground.
