An ‘invisible enemy’ is said to have killed some Area 51 veterans, while another has claimed that a top-secret experiment ‘permanently altered’ his DNA.

Area 51, which situated in southern Nevada, is frequently linked to mysterious flying UFOs; some conspiracy theorists even assert that the US government keeps extraterrestrial life there.

The Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) is home to a highly classified US Air Force base, and nobody is truly sure what goes on there.

Veterans of the Area 51 location, however, are now attacking the government, saying they were given a death sentence without their awareness because they worked there.

Former Air Force Sergeant David Crete, who was stationed at the NTTR from 1983 to 1987, is the leader of a campaign organization called The Invisible Enemy.

According to NewsNation, this is ‘a group fighting for government openness, campaigning for legislation that would give medical treatment and compensation for military troops and their families who were exposed to contamination at the Nevada Test and Training Range’.

Crete, one of several veterans who have spoken up, asserts that while working at the center, more than 490 people have passed away from serious ailments.

“My time at the base ‘permanently altered’ my DNA,” Crete claimed at the House Veterans Affairs Committee earlier this year.

“My wife had three miscarriages,” he clarified. The wife of one of the men I worked with has seven children. My four children were all born with serious health issues or birth abnormalities.

“They are not to blame. I carried it home, but I’m not claiming it as mine. My DNA was irreversibly changed as a result of prolonged, low-dose ionizing radiation exposure.

This ‘invisible enemy’ has affected many other veterans, whose illnesses are thought to be related to radiation exposure during their employment.

In 2016, Crete invited his fellow Air Force friends to his house in Las Vegas for a reunion barbecue. It was an eye-opening day.

After having a “grapefruit-sized tumor” removed from his back, Crete opened up about his personal experiences after veteran Randy Groves mentioned that he had a bump on his back.

He said that the big mass was only one of over 20 lipomas on his body, and it is thought that eight of the people seated at the table that day had tumors.

According to reports, Crete and numerous other veterans who have served at Area 51 are being denied access to Veterans Affairs, which offers vital healthcare to qualified military veterans, because their records are “Data Masked.”
