Area 51 is All About Stealth Fighters, Not Aliens
National Interest ^ | 1/15/2021 | Sebastian Roblin

Here's What You Need To Remember: Though the Pentagon admitted to the existence of a stealth jet in 1983, the secrecy surrounding the F-117 was so effective that the public never had any inkling of the Nighthawk’s true appearance, nor even its designation (widely believed to be the “F-19”) until was finally unveiled in 1988.

my question is, if the stealth fighter jets are so stealthy, how can the pilots even find them to fly them?

Easy enough in the day time, just look for the shadow. When it's dark they release the squadron mascot canine...he invariably stops to piss on the tires. See a dog with his leg cocked in the middle of nothing...there's your stealth plane.

I would suspect that a certain amount of it, came from two things - the DeHavilland Mosquito (plywood) bomber, and the Horten HO-229 (I think) flying wing.

Both were suspected of having less than normal radar signatures, and most likely stirred interest in how to reduce radar reflection in future designs.

Or maybe I’m just remembering wrong.

Here is the kind of released media on stealth and the role played by software that predicted the RCS of a design.

This was a big breakthrough and there where tests of the 117 where the best radars we had could not see the plane.

The aliens are at Dugway Proving Ground, Utah.

There was a picture in IIRC Aviation Week. Unfortunately, I haven’t a copy to post.

I was there for about three weeks in ‘81, then about four months in the winter of ‘84/85.

At a security briefing, they told us what to say when asked what’s out there: “Weird looking things.”

Back in the 81-83 timeframe, I was part of the NASA team that prepped the Northup Strip Shuttle Backup Landing Site for a possible Shuttle landing. Which did happen in 1983.

We entered through Holliman AFB and a bus out into the desert, passing by the famous rocket sled track. Then further on out we saw a large low building with some radar dishes pointing out horizontally toward several large white angled pylons.

We were told not to look in that direction by the MP’s riding along with us. Of course that made us want to look that way even more.

And every now and then there would be something sitting on top of one of the pylons. It kind of looked like a plane of some sort, but it had these weird slab sides and angles.

It was only years later when I saw the first photos of the F-117 that I recognize it from White Sands. Turns out that this was where they radar-testing different shapes for the F-117.

“...money pit, “flying brick” that is the F-35, and fully fund the magnificent, tried, and true A-10!”

Are you high?

I know that in mid 80s.

They were covertly testing and flew over Cumberland, Md. I would suppose to see if they would be picked up on radar. I heard it and almost jumped out of bed, because it was super low. I thought it was an impending crash.

Being prior military, I knew the engine sounds were military engines. The next day there were literally reports from people of low flying aircraft that made the newspaper. Some crazies reported UFOs etc.

A follow up article in the paper stated that officials checked air port radars etc. and there was nothing in the area. lol

Northrop built a model of the Horton and tested it.

National Geographic produced a very nice video about it:

The UFOs have better sensors so they use them to find the stealth fighters.

Area-51 is a test site for American military flight technology. There are no aliens from outer space there. I know this because I once had access. The kooks, the UFO believers are sadly gullible people.
