The account

Its secrecy and position inside the 'Bermuda Triangle' made it a focus of rumour: alien bases, crystals and underwater craft. It is a real, if unglamorous, joint US-UK testing range.

The sceptical view

Its work is military acoustics testing; claims of alien activity there have no evidence behind them.
