Although the FBI states that the reason for the house search this time is 'related to the image posted on Dreamland Resort,' it is not possible to tell which image is the problem, and the detailed reason is unknown. In addition, the search warrant is missing 40 pages, and it is said that the record of the incident cannot be read and the reason for the search cannot be investigated. Despite leaving messages to the FBI investigator in charge many times, Mr. Arne said that he is considering taking legal action without a subsequent reply.

In response to the situation, Arnu has removed some materials from Dreamland Resort, but said, ``I believe they were obtained legally and are legal to publish.'' .

``I can't help but think that someone gave us bad information,'' Arnu said in response to the house search. He also speculates, 'I believe this search was a message to silence the Area 51 research community.'
