Bombshell footage shows a mysterious “UFO-like” aircraft being tested during secret experiments at a US military-linked base

Investigative YouTuber Anders Otteson told The Sun how he camped on public land overlooking defence firm Lockheed Martin’s Helendale radar-testing facility, where he filmed the unknown object.

The footage, shot from a distance, shows what appears to be a dark, wing-shaped object mounted at the top of a white pillar.

It was inside the premises of Lockheed Helendale, a facility used by the firm’s secretive Skunk Works division, which is in the middle of a remote desert.

Skunk Works is the official pseudonym of the US defence company’s Advanced Development Programs (ADP) – which develops top secret aircraft and weapons.

For years, the testing facility has been known for housing secret objects due to its history of developing classified, high-tech aerospace technology.

Some of America’s most groundbreaking and classified aircraft, including the U-2 spy plane, the SR-71 Blackbird, and the F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter, are known to have been developed at this facility.

And secrecy surrounding Skunk Works’ projects has fueled public speculation and conspiracy theories that the organisation is involved in reverse-engineering alien technology.

Throughout the clip, the object, which resembles an aircraft fuselage, can be seen floating on top of the pillar as if it were being radar-tested.

In one frame, a distinct blue area can be spotted on its upper surface. 

 

Mr Otteson, who runs a YouTube channel to document remote secret sites across the US, said it could be an advanced aircraft technology being tested.

He told The Sun: “It could be something that is in an early stage of development, it could be a new manned fighter or a new drone.
