A top-secret Air Force jet has been observed making multiple trips to the highly classified Area 51 just days after the first UFO files were released to the public. Flight tracking data recorded a Boeing 737-600, known as a 'Janet,' leaving the Nevada Test and Training Range, which houses Area 51, at 1.57 pm ET.
Roughly two hours earlier, the aircraft completed a 40-minute flight into the Tonopah Test Range, an airstrip at the northern edge of the complex, often referred to as Area 52. This latest flight marked the fourth trip for the mysterious plane out of the facility on Wednesday alone, according to public records from flight tracking website ADSB Exchange.
The plane is part of the US military’s Janet fleet, which transports government contractors, officials from the Department of Defense, and military personnel to secure facilities containing classified information and technology at the secretive complex. Overall, this particular Janet has been seen making dozens of flights to and from Area 51 and Area 52 in the days following the historic first batch of UFO files released by the Pentagon on May 8.
Area 51 has been an infamous military location for decades, with UFO researchers and conspiracy theorists claiming that secret government projects have been conducted there since the 1950s. The Janet, designed by Boeing, is a white jet with a single red stripe from front to back. The fleet flies contractor employees and military personnel to secure bases housing classified material.
Flight tracking data from May 13, 2026, recorded multiple flights of an Air Force Janet plane arriving at the Nevada Test and Training Range. Area 51, an area of more than 2.9 million acres, is located at the Nevada Test and Training Range.
