This is going to sound stupid, bu the Japanese have always been way ahead of the curve in truth telling in media. I remember being stationed in Okinawa and seeing an episode of Mobile Suit Gundam where they showed Area 51 as a massive underground base. All the testing and building happened down there as opposed to in the hangars. That really opened my eyes back in the 90s when I saw that.
