“ Come Monday morning, when it was time to return to Area 51, the [Brown] Derby was the rendezvous spot because “it was one of the few places that was always open at five a.m.” The majority of the Derby clientele had been up all night; the six very physically fit, clear-eyed pilots with their Air Force haircuts, accompanied by two CIA handlers in sport jackets and bow ties, must have been a sight to behold.”
From LA Times journalist Annie Jacobsen’s book Area 51, which details the base’s history as a testing range.
