Recent flight tracking data has disclosed that several highly classified Air Force jets made their way to the enigmatic Area 51 in Nevada on Friday morning.
The aircraft belong to the U.S. military’s Janet fleet, which is tasked with transporting contractor employees, Department of Defense officials, and military personnel to secure locations that handle classified projects and technologies within this expansive complex.
According to various flight-tracking platforms, one plane, identified as Janet 31, took off from Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas at 5:55 a.m. PT (8:55 a.m. ET). Its last known location was descending into the Nevada Test and Training Range, the area that encompasses Area 51.
A second aircraft, named Janet 43, departed from the same airport 32 minutes later and was last recorded heading towards a landing site in proximity to Area 51.
For decades, the notorious site has been steeped in extraterrestrial folklore, with UFO enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists alleging that secretive government experiments have been taking place there 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.Â
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.
Flight-tracking websites captured two flights heading towards Area 51 Friday morning. The first, designated Janet 31, took off from Las Vegas at 8.55am ET

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.Â
