Flight tracking data has revealed the path of a top-secret Air Force jet landing at the highly classified Area 51 in the Nevada desert on Monday.
The plane is part of the military’s Janet fleet, which transports contractor employees, Department of Defense staff and military personnel to secure facilities housing classified information.
The Janet departed Harry Reid International Airport, Las Vegas’ main airport, at 8:25am PT and touched down at Area 51 at 8:42am.
While the purpose of the flight remains unclear, Area 51 is located within the US Air Force’s Nevada Test and Training Range, used for large-scale military exercises.
The site has long been rumored to host crashed extraterrestrial spacecraft and other mysterious technologies.
Designed by Boeing, Janet jets are white with a single red stripe running from nose to tail.
They operate from a dedicated terminal and parking area in Las Vegas, as the remote facility does not support commuting by vehicle.
Monday’s light was just one of six Janet flights to Area 51 over the past week.
