After a lengthy search, an urban explorer found the wreckage of an A-12 Oxcart that crashed outside of Area 51 in the 1960s.
The A-12 Oxcart was the predecessor to the SR-71 Blackbird.
For a brief period of time, the CIA flew the A-12, which Lockheed's Skunk Works developed in secret.
We often hear tales of people who embark on quixotic searchers for elusive, illusory objects, but it's rare that those investigators actually find what they're looking for. That's why the story of an urban explorer who finally uncovered the crash site of an A-12 Oxcart near Area 51 is so satisfying.
