TAPPER: Welcome back to THE LEAD. More buried news now. We know mermaids aren't real but the U.S. government blew that fantasy out of the water. But the Area 51 rumor has legs. CIA released documents and maps confirming the existence of the famous patch of Nevada, but there's nothing about alien spaceships. The documents say Area 51 was just a testing site for aerial spy programs. But before you ride your unicorns to the nearest grassy knoll and drown your sorrows with Sasquatch and a bottle of scotch, keep this in mind: the archivist who convinced the CIA to release the information says Uncle Sam might spill more secrets in the future. An Romanian princess and her American husband are charged with running a cockfighting operation in Oregon, not exactly croquet or badminton. Irina Kruger Walker is the third daughter of Romania's last king and like many people with blue blood, she's related to the British royal family. In fact, she's 95th in the line of succession to Queen Elizabeth. So close and yet so far. But now it's looking like she blew her chance. The only roost this alleged cockfighter will rule will probably be in prison. Convictions could put her away for years. That's it for THE LEAD. I'm Jake Tapper. I now turn you over to the able hands of Mr. Wolf Blitzer. He's in "THE SITUATION ROOM" right next door. Mr. Blitzer, take it away.
