A former engineer at the top secret airfield "Area 51" in Nevada has spoken out about UFO sightings in the region in the 1960s, saying the witnessed flashes of light were part of top secret US aircraft experiments.
In an interview with ABC News, Thornton "T.D." Barnes, 72, a former special-projects engineer at Area 51 said: "No one really knew we existed. Even our wives didn't know where we were going when we left Monday morning and came back Friday evening."
Barnes was an electronics engineer for NASA who also specialised in advance radar and Soviet MiG fighter aircraft and was asked to join a team of CIA experts who would work on secret military projects at the infamous base.
UFO folklore has it that Area 51, about 80 miles north northwest of Las Vegas, is where captured aliens and their spacecraft have been stored by the US military. The conspiracy theory comes in part because of the preponderance of strange, unaccounted for lights that have been seen in the region of the top secret military base.
However Barnes poured cold water on the theory saying the "alien spaceships" were in fact light flashes from top secret spy planes being flown at 2,000 miles per hour at altitudes of 90,000 feet.

Some folks on ATS insist those are CGI.
LMH has interviewed quite a list of contributors of such photos and insists otherwise.
Ever have anything to do with the nuke tests?
Ever see craft
others would be inclined to call UFO’s?
You come across as the opposite of clueless, to me.

yes, sometimes metals in our area were not identified. Crashes were not common yet understood.
We only received warning of nuke tests and to brace at a given time.
. . . substances and materials . . .
as I understand it . . .
were really a whole ‘nother world in a lot of respects . . .
with health consequences for some workers.
Ahhhh.
Thx.
It is a place of new technology and a place for masters to learn. It is a place to keep America Free and get our engineers to work without incumbrance.
The basic form has mutated through photographs taken months apart.
Other modules have been hung underneath and different probes extend along the sides. The photographers are always different.
I’ve not heard of any new ones the last two years.
I wish that were entirely true.
Has been evident for a long time that essentially
it serves the
globalist oligarchy
to the destruction of Constitutional America.
