A plane pᴀssenger claims to have taken pH๏τos of a UFO emitting glowing lights and orbs on the ground near the top-secret US military base Area 51.

UFOs in the top-secret US military area?

The witness was on an American Airlines flight from San Jose, California to Houston, Texas, when he took a series of pH๏τos of a giant metal disc in the Nevada desert.

The man said the plane was flying near Luning and Gabbs when he spotted a bright light in the desert below. He reported what he witnessed to the Mutual UFO Network, an organization that investigates UFO encounters in the US.

According to the witness, the incident occurred on October 30. He described the strange object seen in the middle of the Nevada desert as a giant silver disc, shooting balls of light into the air. The UFO itself had many bright lights.

“I took out my phone to take pictures until the phone ran out of battery. None of the pᴀssengers seemed to observe the disc or comment on it. On the way home, I asked several Air Force personnel if they had ever seen anything like it and they all said no. At first, I thought it was a satellite, but now it’s up to you to judge. What did I see?”, quoted from the witness’s letter to the Mutual UFO Network.

What has attracted public attention is the UFO sighting near the US military base Area 51 – a place long rumored to be where the US studies aliens, dissects their corpses and stores spacecraft. The US government only acknowledged the existence of this top-secret military base in the southern Nevada desert for the first time in 2013, but said it was a testing ground for their spy planes and made no mention of aliens.

Scott C Waring, editor of UFO Sightings Daily, said: “The disc-shaped object on the ground does indeed look like a UFO that has landed. The Gabby area is only about 140 miles southwest of Area 51. It is clear that the witness encountered a camouflaged UFO in the area.

The metal part of the UFO is partially exposed and I am sure that will not last. This UFO is partially camouflaged to match its surroundings. Some camouflage techniques make UFOs look like clouds, while others make them invisible, but this one is trying to make the UFO blend in with its surroundings.”
