Area 51 is a test site for prototype planes, in the beginning the odd crafts they launched caused some rumors of alien visits amongst the surrounding townsfolk. The legendary crashed alien craft was a mere weatherballoon, just happened to get spotted by some dumb farmer who blew the whole story up.
There are no alien devices stored at area 51, and if there ever where any, they would have moved them by now as the siter gained such attention. They are just intended to make money out of the legend, making it a tourist attraction with alien caps, shirts and milkshakes.
