The flying tortilla in the sky.
With the late public disclosure of ever more modern technology in aircraft and drones, the idea that unidentified flying phenomena or objects roaming the skies need to be considered from an extra-terrestrial origin has lost a lot of momentum.
But a ton of unexplained sightings are still happening, and you bet a fair deal is taking place in the mysterious Area 51 in Nevada.
That’s what an independent, off-the-grid explorer has found: ‘a mysterious UFO-shaped aircraft flying over the top-secret US military base Area 51’.

Daily Mail reported:
“Anders Otteson, a self-described backpacker and videographer, was documenting his trip to the desert surrounding the infamous Nevada facility on January 14 when the unidentified craft was seen flying overhead at around 3am local time (6am ET).
Otteson had already seen what appeared to be a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber flying over Area 51 two hours earlier and noted that this craft was shaped more like an ‘equilateral triangle,’ which UFO researchers have called the ‘Dorito’.”

“Moreover, a scanner monitoring Area 51’s unencrypted radio frequencies picked up a bizarre transmission full of code words themed around beer, food, and snacks instead of standard military jargon.”
