Or whether it has sub-levels at all.
It's only rumour!....or is it?
Well, being that is is only word of mouth and no evidence is backing it up...yes, it is a rumor.

I'm still of the opinion that it is simply a testing ground for classified aircraft.
Thats old hat. Thats what they want you to believe?
Old hat? Of course it is old hat. Since I do not believe in extraterrestrial contact, I believe the base is still serving the original, albeit old, purpose that it was constructed for.

Incidentally, what's with all this alien technology and thousands of people living underground nonsense?
You said that not me? Do you know something??
Actually, I believe ET said it. I wasn't really responding specifically to you, but rather to the subject in general. And I know that the simplest way to hide things isn't by making them as ridiculously complicated as secret multi-level hidden bases.

Even if there had actually been a UFO crash at Roswell.
Do I detect a hint of self doubt??Questioning a question!
Not the slightest hint (that's just my aftershave.) I am pointing out that, even if it was taken as a given that an alien aircraft had crashed, the logic would still not make sense.

why would they have kept it at a relatively small, insecure base, surrounded by media?
Relitively small on the surface! And a very secure base at that!!
No, the base would definitely have been small, unless you can think of some reason for this fantastical secret lair to have existed in Area 51 prior to the Roswell Crash. And no, a base that, five years ago, had to buy up the local hilltops because people were camping out on them and taking long-distance pictures of the base would not be considered very secure.

Why create a super-large, Thunderbirds Are Go, uber-secret base around it, when you can just stick the thing on a flatbed and move it to one of how many hundreds of far more secure, far more secret bases, throughout the United States?
Why put a man on the moon?
You put a man on the moon to win the greatest political coup in the history of mankind. Despite Kennedy's grand speech, we weren't in it for the pure pursuit of science, but for the glory. And (no, there's no hint of doubt here either.) even if we did go to the moon simply because, as the cliche goes, 'it was there', that still wouldn't explain why we should build such a complex, as opposed to simply taking the craft to an already existing one.
