High-secret jet noticed flying over Area 51

Area 51 simply obtained slightly extra mysterious. 

The US Air Force’s top-secret Boeing 737-200 plane, often known as the RAT55 jet, was noticed hovering over Nevada’s Groom Lake facility, confirming long-rumored ties to the categorised base. 

From 26 miles away atop Tikaboo Peak, a mountain in Nevada, plane-obsessed photographer Michael Rokita recorded fuzzy footage of the RAT55, which is used as a radar testbed, pulling off touch-and-go maneuvers and a touchdown on runway 32, in line with the Daily Mail.

Moments later, the jet rolled into Hangar 18 as the massive doorways parted like a scene straight out of a sci-fi film. 

Recognizable by its rotund nostril and humpbacked profile, the RAT55 probes the stealth of different planes midflight — a covert gig that will have backed the RQ-80 drone.

Normally in secret, the RAT55 prowls prohibited airspace close to Edwards Air Force Base, ghosting flight trackers by turning its transponder off. 

As per the Daily Mail, Rokita confirmed RAT 55’s name signal is ‘Saber 98,’ a smoking-gun hyperlink tying the mysterious jet to Area 51’s secretive Hangar 18. 

Dodging his units’ energy failures and the desert’s sweltering warmth with a Nikon P1000 and a bespoke binocular-smartphone rig, he snapped proof of the radar-testing plane.

The jet is rumored to dimension up every part from B-2s to stealth prototypes just like the B-21 Raider. 

RAT 55 infrequently leaves Nevada, however recognizing it roll into the notorious Hangar 18 simply stokes many years of alien and black-budget rumors.

Back in April, The Post reported on Jerry Freeman, a cultural researcher who unintentionally wandered right into a restricted nook of Area 51— and lived to inform the story. 

On a 1996 quest to trace misplaced 1849 Gold Rush journals close to the Nevada base, Freeman snuck in undercover at night time — and as an alternative of previous writings, he could have discovered an alien spacecraft, he advised UFO researcher George Knapp.

“It looked like a dry lake bed to me, nothing else, but at night it was a different story,” Freeman stated to Knapp.

“I could clearly see what were security lights on the perimeters and I could see lights that opened and closed near the center of the lake,” the anthropologist went on.

Freeman solely obtained a couple of minutes to observe — however felt the bottom rumble beneath him, a certain signal one thing top-secret was being examined.

For many years, Area 51 was off-limits and off-the-record — till 2013, when the feds lastly admitted it existed.

Nearly 30 years after Freeman’s brush with the bottom, conspiracy theories linking it to aliens are nonetheless flying.
