Did President Clinton attempt to declassify Area 51 information?

President Clinton issued a Presidential Determination exempting Area 51 from environmental disclosure, but didn’t declassify its activities.

IMNSHO If any US President visited Area 51 it was this guy.

Bill Clinton, who held office as the 42nd President of the United States from 1993 to 2001, presided during a time when Area 51, a top-secret U.S. Air Force installation in Nevada, was a subject of much curiosity and conjecture. The enigmatic nature of Area 51 and the government’s hesitance to divulge information about it have fueled many conspiracy theories, with the most prominent ones suggesting that it serves as a research site for analyzing and reverse-engineering alien technology, particularly UFOs.

In 1994, President Clinton authorized Executive Order 95-45, effectively shielding Area 51 from environmental disclosure regulations. This measure was put in place to safeguard classified information about the base’s activities. Although the specific undertakings within Area 51 remain undisclosed, it is commonly thought that the area is dedicated to creating and examining advanced aircraft and weaponry.

Despite the Clinton administration’s limited public disclosure regarding Area 51, the former president himself revealed his personal fascination with UFOs and the possibility of life beyond Earth. In a 2005 conversation with Hong Kong’s Cable News Network (CNN), Clinton admitted his interest in the topic and disclosed that he had investigated the 1947 Roswell Incident but found no proof of alien technology. Nevertheless, he remained open to the prospect of extraterrestrial life existing elsewhere in the cosmos.
