The BBC film crew just before they were arrested
The Groom Lake facility has no perimeter fence to keep out intruders, but instead uses a network of hidden sensors and cameras that can detect when anyone crosses onto the base. Private security guards also patrol in unmarked jeeps.
Documentary maker Darren Perks and his film crew were arrested at gunpoint while filming "UFO: Conspiracy Road Trip' documentary, which airs next Monday; the footage will show the incident where they are arrested at gunpoint.
They were forced to lie on the ground for three hours as guards surrounded them armed with M16 assault rifles.
"'AT THIS POINT I MANAGED TO TALK TO THE GUARDS A BIT AND ONE TOLD ME HOW THEY COULD 'MAKE YOU DISAPPEAR AND YOUR BODY WILL NEVER BE FOUND'. - DARREN PERKS"
Some of the buildings at the Area 51 gate that the team managed to film before their arrest.
UFO enthusiast and documentary film maker Darren perks said: 'At this point I managed to talk to the guards a bit and one told me how they could 'make you disappear and your body will never be found'.
APACHE HELICOPTER
"'He also pointed out that an Apache attack helicopter had been scrambled and had been monitoring us from two miles away and that over 20 military guards had driven up from the actual base to deal with the incident. There were quite a few of them there with guns!"
UFO enthusiast: Darren Perks
"One guard I quizzed let slip that there are sensors in the ground that can detect approaching vehicles and walkers up in the nearby mountains, so they know if people are getting too close as they cannot put fences up because the area is so big."
"Then at about 11:30pm we were allowed to leave on the bus and we went back to our hotel at the nearby town of Alamo Nevada."
FINED
The crew were all facing a potential 6 month jail sentence for crossing onto the restricted area, but after a series of phone calls between Washington and London and the payment of an equivalent lb375 fine each they were allowed to go free.
FOLLOWED
It didn't end there for the crew as they had obvioulsy attracted a lot of rather unwanted attention. Perks went on -" 'Because the film equipment had been taken by the FBI we had to wait to get new kit from Vegas so we had a day of rest but we were followed everywhere by unmarked Government vehicles."
"'They stuck out like a sore thumb to me. It was myself that pointed this out to the others otherwise they would not have been aware of being followed."
