Disney has announced that the 2014 National Geographic documentary “Area 51: The CIA’s Secret” will be coming to Disney+ in the United Kingdom and Ireland on Friday 26th March.

Area 51: The CIA’s Secret Files covers the true story of ground-breaking research into aviation that took place at the Groom Lake Testing Facility, otherwise known as Area 51, which ensured US Aerial supremacy from the Cold War through to the present day. Utilising CIA documents that have recently been declassified this programme identifies specific individuals who worked at the top-secret base in a variety of roles – the radar specialists, pilots and security guards. Their personal testimonies provide a unique impression not just of the work that was carried out, but of the site itself.

In this episode, it’s revealed just how tight security had to be to keep the development of the U2, A12 and HAVE BLUE aviation programmes under wraps. This is a film that concentrates on delivering history and factual accuracy in a fresh and engaging style – one that answers the question ‘what really happened at Area 51’?

“Area 51: The CIA’s Secret” is coming to Disney+ in the UK and Ireland on Friday 26th March.
