Top-secret Air Force jet spotted at Area 51 days after UFO disclosure,
A top-secret Air Force jet has been spotted making multiple trips to the highly classified Area 51 just days after the first UFO files were released to the public.
Flight tracking data recorded a Boeing 737-600, known as a ‘Janet,’ leaving the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTF), which houses Area 51, at 1.57pm ET.
Roughly two hours earlier, the aircraft made a 40-minute flight into the Tonopah Test Range, an airstrip at the northern edge of the complex, often referred to as Area 52.
The latest flight marked the fourth trip for the mysterious plane out of the facility on Wednesday alone, according to public records from flight tracking website ADSB exchange.
The plane is part of the US military’s Janet fleet, which transports government contractors, officials from the Department of War and military personnel to secure facilities containing classified information and technology at the secretive complex.
Overall, this particular Janet has been seen making dozens of flights to and from Area 51 and Area 52 in the days following the historic first batch of UFO files released by the Pentagon on May 8.
Area 51 has been an infamous military location for decades, with UFO researchers and conspiracy theorists claiming that secret government projects have been conducted there since the 1950s.
Government whistleblowers and UFO researchers have both claimed to have seen and photographed unidentified objects flying over Area 51 for decades, many which do not look like normal aircraft or behavior like human-made technology.

Flight tracking data from May 13, 2026 recorded multiple flights of an Air Force Janet plane arriving at the Nevada Test and Training Range
According to Flight Aware, this particular Janet, which the registration number N273RH, has made over 60 trips between Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas and the massive military complex since April 26.
However, 23 of those flights have come since May 8, the day 162 files on UFO sightings, FBI witness interviews, pictures, videos and audio transcripts of unexplained encounters were released as part of the Trump Administration’s disclosure campaign.
While Wednesday’s flights took the Janet into Area 52, near Tonopah, N273RH was seen landing at Groom Lake at least twice on May 7, the day before UFO disclosure began.
Groom Lake is a dry salt flat in Nevada used as the airfield and runway for personnel arriving at Area 51.
Although the US government and the Pentagon has maintained for decades that there is no physical evidence of UFOs or extraterrestrial life, NTTF has been tied to secret research on advanced aircraft and propulsion technology for decades.
David Crete, a former Air Force Sergeant who was stationed at NTTF, previously told Daily Mail that the F-117A Nighthawk, America’s first stealth bomber, was developed and tested at the base.
In February, US Congressman Eric Burlison of Missouri revealed that he requested and was granted access to secure locations, including Area 51, as part of Congress’s investigation into UFO-related government secrets.
That same month, President Trump ordered that all information the federal government, intelligence community and military has accumulated on UFOs and alien life must be released to the public. Despite the order, members of Congress have claimed key pieces of evidence are being covered up.

House Oversight Committee members Tim Burchett and Anna Paulina Luna had previously claimed in 2023 that members of the ‘intelligence community’ denied them access to the SCIF, a secure room used by the government and military to discuss highly classified information.
Last month, Rep. Luna revealed that the Pentagon had failed to meet an April 14 deadline to deliver 46 videos which reportedly contained footage of UFOs over military facilities and war zones.
A second wave of UFO documents is reportedly expected to be released at some point this month.
