A film crew from the British broadcasting network, BBC was arrested at gunpoint for sneaking into a top-secret UFO military base in the United States. Guards armed with M16 assault rifles forced the crew members to lie face-down for three hours while the FBI ran security checks on them.

The 12-man crew visited the infamous Area 51 in Nevada (USA), where it is claimed bodies of 'aliens' are being held, that the unit wanted to use for making a documentary about UFOs, The Sun reports.

According to the report, the 'Beeb' team, including standup comedian Andrew Maxwell, ignored warnings to slip past the security and film inside the fence. But moments later, US military officials surrounded them and confiscated their phones, wallets and IDs.
