Top-secret US Air Force jets spotted near Area 51 amid Trump's UFO disclosure claims
~ by Chris Melore, US Assistant Science Editor, 6 February 2026
Flight tracking data has revealed that multiple top-secret Air Force jets have been sent to the highly classified Area 51 in the Nevada desert Friday morning.
The planes are part of the US military’s Janet fleet, which transports contractor employees, officials from the Department of War, and military personnel to secure facilities containing classified information and technology at the massive complex.
According to multiple flight-tracking websites, one aircraft designated Janet 31 departed Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas at 5.55am PT (8.55am ET) and was last descending into the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR), which houses Area 51.
Another flight, this one labeled Janet 43, took off from Harry Reid International 32 minutes later and was last seen heading for a landing area closer to Area 51.
The infamous base has been tied to extraterrestrial lore for decades, with UFO researchers and conspiracy theorists claiming that secret government projects have been conducted at Area 51 since the 1950s.
The flights come just days after US Congressman Eric Burlison claimed he has received permission from the White House to visit secret facilities tied to unconfirmed reports of extraterrestrials and non-human craft Congress has been investigating.
The flights were also spotted after Trump Administration insiders allegedly claimed that full disclosure on UFOs and alien life could come from the president by July 2026.
Despite the growing speculation and daily flights to the top secret facility, the US government and the Pentagon have maintained that physical evidence of UFOs and extraterrestrial has never been found.

Designed by Boeing, Janet jets have a distinctive look, with an all-white body and a single red stripe running from the nose to the tail.
They operate from a dedicated terminal and parking area in Las Vegas, as the remote facility does not support commuting by vehicle.
According to Flight Aware, this was the flight straight day Janet 31 has flown into the airspace over NTTR, with tracking data revealing the plane appeared to land at the nearby Tonopah Test Range, often referred to as Area 52.
Meanwhile, Janet 43 has been seen flying four times this week, appearing to land at a different runway near NTTF, in Nevada's Lincoln County.
A third Janet was captured leaving the Tonopah Test Range Airport at Area 52 just after 11am ET on a course back to Harry Reid International.
The flights from Las Vegas typically take only 15 to 30 minutes, with military personnel regularly traveling the top secret complex to allegedly test and develop highly classified aircraft and weapons systems.
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.
However, government whistleblowers and UFO researchers have both claimed to have seen and photographed unidentified objects flying over Area 51 for decades, many which don't look like normal aircraft or behavior like human-made technology.
(Area 51, an area of more than 2.9 million acres, is located at the Nevada Test and Training Range. Area 52, which has its own airport runway, sits roughly 70 miles from Area 51)
Area 51, officially referred to as the Groom Lake test facility or 'the Ranch,' was established in April 1955 when scouts spotted the area while flying over the Mojave Desert.
Declassified CIA documents have revealed that the secret facility used to test the U-2 spy plane, which was crucial for intelligence gathering against the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
However, the more than 400-page report, which was officially unsealed in 2013, never mentioned what the base was used for after 1974.
Meanwhile, the secret Janet fleet started operations in 1972.
In 1989, famous UFO whistleblower Bob Lazar claimed in a televised interview that he worked at a secret site near Groom Lake known as 'S-4,' and that his job was to study alien technology and spacecraft recovered by the military.
Although the claims have become part of UFO and Area 51 lore, parts of Lazar's story, including his education and employee history, have never been confirmed with any physical records that back up his story.
In a January interview, Burlison claimed the Trump White House has directed the Pentagon to allow the Missouri congressman to visit Area 51 and other key facilities whistleblower evidence has tied to crashed UFOs, bodies, and other recovered tech.
Burlison did not detail when these visits would start taking place or if he would be brought their using the Janet fleet.
