64. DGAR isn't "USAF." The Brits own it, and all US branches have a presence though NAVY has

pride of place in that the installation is a USN Support Facility.

It's also not a "secret," it's called the Footprint of Freedom, and a tour there is not the thing for people who need a lot of stimulation. We pre-position a LOT of shit there; it's useful for a lot of reasons because of its handy location; a great place to launch from/refuel.

It's so public it even has a wikipedia page.

There are PEOPLE on that island; civilian and contract workers who email their families regularly. If anything so "X Files" happened on DGAR those people would have spilled the beans by now. Apparently some 4Chan jerks have photoshopped a picture which has distressed some of the family members--a cruel thing to do. Such asshattery:
