BOMBSHELL footage shows a mysterious “UFO-like” plane being tested during secret experiments at a base linked to the US military.
Research YouTuber Anders Otteson told The Sun how he camped on public land overlooking defense firm Lockheed Martin’s Helendale radar test facility, where he filmed the unknown object.
The images, taken from afar, show what appears to be a dark, wing-shaped object mounted on top of a white pillar.
It was inside the Lockheed Helendale facility, a facility used by the company’s secretive Skunk Works division, which is located in the middle of a remote desert.
Skunk Works is the official pseudonym of the American defense company’s Advanced Development Programs (ADP), which develops top-secret aircraft and weapons.
For years, the test facilities have been known for housing secret objects due to their history of developing high-tech classified aerospace technology.
Some of America’s most innovative and classified aircraft are known to have been developed at these facilities, including the U-2 spy plane, the SR-71 Blackbird, and the F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter.
And the secrecy surrounding Skunk Works’ projects has fueled public speculation and conspiracy theories that the organization is involved in reverse-engineering alien technology.
Throughout the clip, the object, which resembles the fuselage of an airplane, can be seen floating above the pillar as if it were being probed by radar.
In one frame, a distinct blue area can be seen on its top surface.
Otteson, who runs a YouTube channel documenting remote secret sites across the United States, said it could be advanced aeronautical technology being tested.
He told The Sun: “It could be something that is at an early stage of development, it could be a new manned fighter or a new drone.
“It could also be a model developed specifically for a test…let’s say they are going to test a new type of paint or a particular new component.”
The investigative YouTuber, who has filmed near classified facilities including the infamous Area 51, also linked the Skunk Works team to extraterrestrial technology.
A number of conspiracy theories suggest that many projects at the facility involve reverse-engineered technology whose origins are extraterrestrial.
American elected officials and politicians are currently mobilizing to obtain information about unknown objects flying in American airspace, including One of the most important members of Trump’s team, Marco Rubio..
And there have been numerous high-profile hearings on the topic, with suggestions that the United States secretly has “exotic” technology.
Otteson said that if the U.S. government possesses advanced or “strange” technology, Skunk Works would almost certainly be involved.
“The Hellendale facility also has a huge underground chamber underneath that is 200 feet deep,” he said.
“It has generated a lot of speculation about what other advanced projects might be in the works at an underground facility like that.
“It’s a good place to store advanced technology underground, and that’s partly why it was built to hide secrets from Soviet espionage.
“Any other type of technology that Lockheed might have, it would be a place where they could store it, essentially.”
Located northwest of Victorville, Lockheed Martin’s Helendale facility was designed during the Cold War to protect next-generation American aircraft from the prying eyes of the Soviets.
The facility is known to have several test towers, radar arrays and control stations to test military aircraft stealth technology.
Speculation also indicates that the unknown object could be the United States’ SR-72 “Darkstar,” a top-secret US Air Force project that could revolutionize military aircraft technology.
Nicknamed “Son of Blackbird”, it is believed to be the potential answer to a near-perfect aircraft, as it is configured to be super fast,hypersonic high altitude surveillance aircraft.
It is believed that next-generation aircraft could reachspeeds of Mach 6(4000 mph) – Doubles the top speed of its predecessor and introduces cutting-edge capabilities for modern combat scenarios.
According to Airforce Technology, the aircraft will be a hypersonic reconnaissance aircraft that will use cutting-edge aerospace technology for long-range missions.
It will also be capable of hitting targets on any continent within an hour, as long as it is equipped with hypersonic missiles.interesting engineeringinformation.
Lockheed Martin announced in 2018 that they are working on the SR-72 project and a prototype is expected to fly very soon.
The US Air Force and the Pentagon have never officially confirmed or denied the craft’s existence.
It is also not clear yet whether the USAF has given Lockheed Martin the official green light to complete a prototype for consideration.
Some fans added the “Darkstar” nickname to the SR-72 name after a similar concept plane with the same name was seen in Top Gun: Maverick, which was released in 2022.
