What happened to those that wanted to storm Area 51? The Internet Historian remembers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZ7F6ELO-hQ

This sounds like something the United States government would say

Edward Snowden, who had access to basically all the US governments secrets for NSA and CIA with the highest above top-secret clearance, went specifically looking for stuff related to this and says that he came up with nothing. Out of anyone who could know things about this, I find his situation and argument to be most convincing.

Perhaps, but there's all kinds of tangentially-related stuff that could have been leaked but wasn't. Nor was mentioned by Snowden. One already-public example being the 2004 Nimitz incident, which is of genuine national security concern.

I know Snowden is highly-revered around here, but he's not all-knowing, and I'm fairly certain he did not have access to the entire US IC store of intel.
