Joking aside, it would be sensible for Area 51 to be a red herring. Giving people something else to look at is a good way to hide something.
Wouldn't that be pointless, seeing as you can't exactly just walk into Area 51 and look around?

No, because the high security is what keeps attention focussed there. It would be pointless as a diversion if you could walk in and look around. Since you can't, it would work very well as one. Throw in some alleged leaks every now and again (that can't be checked) to keep people thinking that maybe some information might get out and you've got a lasting diversion.
If I wanted to hide a secret military research base and I had lots of resources, a fake super secret base somewhere else that everyone knows about but nobody can get into would be my first move.
That's the idea. If everyone is convinced that you have something to hide in your super secret base in the middle of Nevada, put your ACTUAL super secret base in well...Milton Keynes.
Since no-one is allowed into Area 51 to disprove it and the security is crazy tight, logic says that there must be something in there worth hiding right?
If I mounted 10 cameras to the front of my house, had massive security standing outside all day and made a few bangs and flashes every other week the locals would be convinced that I was hiding something. Maybe in reality I just don't want them paying any attention to the house next door...

My point is that it doesn't matter how much interest is aimed at Area 51, as people will never discover what's in there anyway, meaning there is no need for another base being kept completely secret.![]()
I knew there must be SOMETHING interesting about Milton Keynes.

I'm pretty sure i saw a thread on there where a guy claimed his toilet was a stargate.
I heard that Milton Keynes street names and Town planning contain secret codes related to the Freemasons and Illuminati...
All them roundabouts are homages to saucers![]()
