Area 51 was mentioned in the papers at least as early as 1967.

Quote:July 23, 1947 – A group of survey workers working northeast of Pitanga,
Parana State, Brazil ran away when they heard a hissing noise and
saw a disc-shaped object land only 50 meters away from them. Jose C.
Higgins saw two figures through a window inside the craft. Later three
beings in shiny clothes and translucent suits, with oversized baldheads,
huge round eyes, no eyelashes or eyebrows, and a metal box on their back,
emerged from the craft. They were over two meters (6.6 feet) tall. They
drew a sketch of the solar system and pointed to Uranus as if to suggest
that was their point of origin. (Sources: Flying Saucer Review,

The Lost Creek Saucer: Confessions of a Grave-Robbing Ufologist
On July 3, 1966, John Sheets, a house painter, accompanied his employer who had taken movies of a Little League game in Weston. They left Route 19 near Lost Creek for a short cut to Clarksburg on their way home. Sheets, looking out the car window for deer that abounded in the wild rural area, was puzzled and startled when he spotted a dish-shaped flying object surmounted by a dome with portholes, following them. He shouted for the driver to stop as the object disappeared behind a hill. His employer, remembering he had unexposed footage left in his 16mm Bolex movie camera, reached for it on the back seat. As he did so the object returned and swooped down toward them, then retreated and repeated the maneuver. Despite his excitement and fright, the amateur photographer managed to shoot several feet of film, with many sharp frames, some of which when enlarged display a recognizable antenna, and ball-like “landing gear,” similar to many still photographs taken by other witnesses.
"It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong." – Thomas Sowell
