The planes are typically used to transport personnel to and from secure and secretive locations within the US.There are few places on Earth as notoriously secretive as Area 51 – a remote facility in the Nevada desert that has become synonymous with stories of reverse-engineered alien technology and the development of highly advanced black projects that next to nobody knows anything about.
While we still don’t really know what goes on there, what we do know is that there was a flurry of activity a few days ago when three flights from the enigmatic Janet (Joint Air Network for Employee Transportation) fleet landed on one of its six runways.
Comprised of Boeing 737 jets made up to look like typical airliners, Janet fleet has been used for many years to transport important personnel – such as military contractors and DoD staff – to secure and secretive locations.
In this particular case, three of the planes took off two days ago from the nearby Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas and landed at Area 51 around 18 minutes later.It is believed that such flights have been happening since as far back as 1955.
The big question is exactly what the purpose of these latest trips might be, especially within the context of recent political events in the US and beyond.
