Video: Massive Fire Erupts Inside Mysterious Area 51 Near Rachel, Nevada
A massive fire broke out today inside the highly secretive Area 51, located in the Nevada desert near the small town of Rachel. The blaze was captured live from a private property adjacent to the restricted military zone. Thick flames and smoke were seen rising from within the classified area, raising questions about the cause and extent of the fire. So far, there has been no official statement from the U.S. Department of Defense regarding the incident. Area 51 is known for its extreme secrecy and has long been associated with experimental aircraft testing and UFO-related theories.

To conceal secret projects, US military has misled officers on UFOs: Report
For decades, the US military misled the public and even its own officers with myths of alien UFOs to hide the truth about top-secret military programmes, such as the development of stealth fighters, according to an investigation. read more In what makes separating facts from fiction difficult, it has now emerged that the US military misled the public and even its own personnel about unidentified flying objects (UFOs) for decades. The revelation has come at a time when the issue of UFOs, now formally called unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs), has generated great interest in recent years, including of lawmakers who have held hearings on the subjects. The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) of the US Department of Defense (DoD) has found that the US military misled the public and its own personnel, including officers, with myths of UFOs to hide actual top-secret projects, according to Wall Street Journal. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In recent years, several stories about UFOs have gained widespread attention, such as stories about Area 51 military base, the story of orb-like UFOs that US military pilots have spotted, and mysterious sightings around military bases. The issue has also become politicised as far-right Republicans have accused the purported 'deep state' of hiding UFO-related truth from public and even the government. Aliens? No, just government disinformation! The truth, it has emerged, has been much banal. The Journal has reported that many popular stories about UFOs, that grew into a whole lore over decades, were planted by the US military to keep top-secret military programmes under wraps. For example, in 1980s, a US Air Force colonel gave photos of what were dubbed as flying saucers to a pub-owner near the Area 51 base who then put those up in the pub. That led to the development of the lore about alien UFOs at Area 51. In reality, the doctored photographs were intentionally planted to create the myth of alien UFOs to hide the fact that the US government was developing top-secret fighter planes Area 51. The alien UFO lore meant that whenever someone saw a strange aircraft in the area, it was believed to be an alien aircraft and dismissed as a rumour. In reality, those alien UFOs were stealth fighters under development! The report said that a host of soldiers and officers were told that they were part of projects involving aliens and were made to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). This meant that even many people within the government thought they were working in alien-related programmes when they were not! On another occasion, the US government conducted a secret test involving electromagnetic pulse to test the security of one of its nuclear missile installations. But the senior leadership never told personnel stationed at the base about the test. This meant that personnel stationed at the base came under the false impression that their base came under an alien attack. Their impression and distrust of the government has lasted to this day.

Pentagon planted UFO myths to hide secret weapons programs?
A new Department of Defense (DoD) report reviewed by The Wall Street Journal reveals that the U.S. military deliberately fueled UFO conspiracy theories—including those linked to Area 51—to conceal top-secret weapons programs such as the F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter during the Cold War. The report, compiled by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), found that the Pentagon spread disinformation, including doctored photographs of flying saucers, and intentionally withheld information from witnesses who had unknowingly seen classified military tests. One striking example uncovered in the 2024 report involves a retired Air Force colonel who, during the 1980s, visited a bar near Area 51 and handed the owner fabricated images of flying saucers. The colonel later admitted to Pentagon investigators that he was acting under official orders to spread false information and divert attention from the F-117 stealth jet tests being conducted at the site. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Private Jet - The Prices May Surprise You! Private Jet I Search Ads Learn More Undo The AARO, created in 2022 to investigate decades of UFO-related claims, discovered a culture of misinformation and even internal pranks. Its first director, Sean Kirkpatrick, led a wide-ranging investigation into decades of Defense Department memos, briefings, and classified communications. Among the findings: Air Force officers routinely hazed new recruits with fake briefings about a fictional unit called 'Yankee Blue' tasked with investigating alien spacecraft. The briefings came with strict orders never to speak about them. Many recipients believed the stories for years, unaware it was an elaborate ruse. The Pentagon only issued an order to end the practice in 2023. Live Events The motive behind the fake briefings remains unclear, though some speculate it was used as a loyalty test or a deeper tactic to seed confusion and misdirection. The report also highlights how real eyewitnesses were misled. Former Air Force captain Robert Salas, for example, has long claimed he saw a UFO hover over a Montana nuclear missile silo in 1967, disabling all 10 warheads and shutting down electrical systems. He was later ordered to remain silent about the incident. Kirkpatrick's team found that what Salas actually witnessed was an early electromagnetic pulse (EMP) test intended to evaluate whether U.S. silos could withstand nuclear radiation and still retaliate. The test failed—and rather than admit to the vulnerability, officials opted to let witnesses draw their own, more otherworldly conclusions. The AARO report also confirms that several well-known UFO rumors, including the Area 51 legend, were seeded to distract the public and foreign adversaries from ongoing experimental aircraft development. These revelations explain why last year's transparency report from the Pentagon omitted crucial details about the origins of these myths. The Department of Defense has acknowledged that not all AARO findings have been made public but has pledged to release a follow-up report later this year. 'The department is committed to releasing a second volume of its Historical Record Report, to include AARO's findings on reports of potential pranks and inauthentic materials,' the Pentagon said in a statement. While the revelations help explain the origins of several Cold War-era conspiracies, they also cast doubt on the authenticity of more recent UFO footage released by the military, including the viral 2020 Navy pilot videos.

Will the next Pope FINALLY reveal the Vatican's UFO secrets? Insider says ‘truth is coming'… with help of US president
Steve Bassett reveals how the Vatican's UFO secrets might come to light HOLY MYSTERY Will the next Pope FINALLY reveal the Vatican's UFO secrets? Insider says 'truth is coming'… with help of US president THE Vatican must finally reveal the truth about eerie links between UFOs and the church, a top UFO lobbyist has said. Steve Bassett, executive director of the Paradigm Research Group, said the "truth is coming" - but it might not be the next Pope who releases any bombshell files.

He insists "extraordinary" information sits locked away in the Vatican Library - collected from millions of confessions reporting strange sightings or close encounters. It comes after Pentagon whistleblower David Grusch claimed Italy had uncovered a UFO during Mussolini's reign in 1933. Following the death of Pope Francis, Bassett revealed whether the next Cardinal could finally fling open the doors to the Vatican's UFO files. Advertisement He told The Sun: "Is the Catholic Church going to open the doors to the library so we can start seeing cool stuff? No, they're not gonna do that. "This is a political matter to be resolved through political action. 'I do not think that the next pope is going to be selected on the fact that he's a pro ET. "It's got to be the heads of state - and we are very close to that happening." Advertisement The remarks come ahead of Pope Francis's funeral, which will take place this Sunday following his death at the age of 88. And next week, cardinals from across the world will gather in Rome to elect a successor. But whoever wears the white cassock next, Bassett believes UFO truth-seekers shouldn't hold their breath for a Vatican revelation. He claims the church has quietly gathered UFO-related information over centuries. Advertisement Bassett said: "Millions of Catholics over the last 800 years bringing every rather unusual encounter they had to the priests... where do you think that information is gonna go? "It's going to go straight up to the Vatican.' But the reason the Vatican won't spill? Because the stakes are too high. Bassett said: "It is a matter of national security... this is not the Pope's job to come out and say, 'I can confirm today this is in fact advanced technology non-humans.' That is not a religious-based role." Advertisement Instead, Bassett believes President Trump is best positioned to make the move that would rock the world. "That's why it has to begin with a single head of state, which I believe is going to be Donald Trump,' he said. "He may be the president that ends this truth embargo, and it will be one of the greatest political legacies of all time for anyone. "And if you don't like that, I don't care. This issue is bigger than your political dislikes." Advertisement Millions of Catholics over the last 800 years bringing every rather unusual encounter they had to the priests... where do you think that information is gonna go? It's going to go straight up to the Vatican Steve Bassett Bassett points to Trump's declassification of JFK files as proof that UFO documents could be next. 'They built a task force," he said. "The task force said it's going after secrets, and it did. "It started getting JFK papers... which means that their commitment to get the other things, such as the UAP stuff, is being well established.' Advertisement Last year, whistleblower Grusch told a Congressional hearing that the US possesses fully intact and pieces of "craft" of "non-human origin". And the former Air Force intelligence officer claimed to NewsNation that Italy had uncovered one of those UFOs in the 1930s. He claimed that the then-Pope Pius XII had "backchannelled" it to US president Franklin Roosevelt who "ended up scooping" up the craft. Bassett said investigation was going to be needed into the claims. Advertisement But it would prove the US government knew about extraterrestrial life long before the famous Roswell incident in 1947, he said. 8 Donald Trump and Pope Francis meet at the Vatican in 2017 Credit: Reuters 8 Former Air Force intelligence officer Davd Grusch spoke in front of Congress regarding UFOs Credit: Alamy 8 There are tens of thousands of records in the Vatican Archives Credit: Getty Advertisement 8 Could the secrets of UFOs and aliens be held in the Vatican? Credit: Getty And he doesn't doubt that Grusch claim could be true. Basset said years of political groundwork, whistleblower testimony, and growing public interest have created a perfect storm for disclosure – a formal acknowledgement that aliens are real. "I have never seen a president more likely to act in a much more independent way than President Trump," Bassett said. Advertisement After disclosure, Bassett says the Vatican's role will be to support – not lead – the world through the paradigm shift. 'The Catholic Church can step in and say, 'God's universe is far greater than we thought. Isn't that wonderful?'" he said. "And of course, if you're troubled by any of this, feel free to come to your priest and talk about it." As preparations get underway to choose the next Pope, Bassett's message is clear: don't look to the balcony at the Vatican for UFO truth – look to Washington. Advertisement 'The truth is coming,' he said. 'We've got to get ready.'
