A wave of new witnesses has come forward with unsettling footage of UFOs, particularly strange swarms resembling ‘drones’ hovering near US military installations, including a baffling ‘big fireball in a cube’ over the notorious Area 51.
One witness from the Las Vegas area described observing this strange cube-shaped object and claimed to have seen similar phenomena over 100 times since June 2020. According to the witness, the mysterious craft often head toward Nellis Air Force Base, which lies just 40 miles north of the city and houses the top-secret Area 51.
The eerie incidents echo past UFO sightings in Virginia. In December 2023, swarms of small UFOs with flashing red, green, and white lights were seen rapidly moving through restricted airspace above Joint Base Langley–Eustis. These objects created a buzz of excitement, as they moved erratically and displayed unusual lighting patterns.
Not only did Las Vegas witnesses report similar sightings, but others have also shared their stories. One person, with 60 nights of observation experience, revealed they had seen various unidentified aerial phenomena nightly for two months. “I live approximately 7 miles from Nellis,” they shared, “Past two months, every single night, I’ve seen numerous different things going on. Just wondering what it all is.”
General Glen VanHerck of NORAD has called for a more comprehensive investigation into these incidents. He urged the US Department of Defense to approve a range of electronic surveillance tools to track the unexplained UFO activity. His efforts come after leading NORAD in the mission to shoot down the infamous Chinese spy balloon in February 2023. Describing the UFOs above Langley, he stated that the “drone swarm” wave was unlike any previously reported.
General Gregory Guillot, VanHerck’s successor, echoed these concerns, revealing during a Senate Armed Services Committee meeting that the number of UFO incursions over US military bases is on the rise. “I wasn’t prepared for the number of incursions that I see,” General Guillot confessed.
Though these sightings are coming from civilians using everyday technology, such as phone cameras, they corroborate the Air Force’s own findings. One Las Vegas witness recounted seeing “red” UFOs traveling “very close together” on April 16, 2024. Another, from November 2023, described an object that initially appeared monochromatic, but closer inspection revealed it to be spinning and multicolored, not just green.
These witnesses frequently mention the proximity of these UFOs to Nellis Air Force Base. The Pentagon’s own reports often link these mysterious craft to “unmanned aerial vehicles” (UAV) or “unmanned aerial systems” (UAS), pointing toward potential earthly explanations. Alejandro Rojas, an Enigma Labs consultant, suggested that sightings near secretive bases like Area 51 could be linked to experimental aircraft, though he stressed that further investigation is required.
Rojas, a long-time UFO expert, also revealed that his organization, Enigma Labs, has received numerous reports from civilians near Nellis Air Force Base. “Civilian reports and videos of potential incursions by unknown objects from the public are essential,” he explained. “The Pentagon is scratching its head over these.”
Many witnesses, though hesitant to publicize their identities, have provided detailed descriptions of their experiences. One observer from September 2022 reported a “very bright, yellowish orange light” that remained stationary for 20 minutes before reappearing two days later. “I also checked to make sure it wasn’t a star or a planet,” they said. “It seemed to be situated near Nellis Air Force Base.”
Others have noted more erratic movements, such as a December 2023 sighting where a green light UFO made “erratic movements” before “just stopping in midair.”
The most striking report comes from a witness on May 6, 2024, who filmed an amber-orange UFO resembling a “big fireball in a cube.” This witness added that the objects “always seem to head toward Nellis” and even speculated that they might “not be man-made,” suggesting a possible connection to the Air Force. “I feel they are trying to communicate with me,” she said, describing the UFOs as “playful” and “always knowing where I am.”
The US military, meanwhile, is grappling with how to address these potential threats. Jason Mayes, deputy test director for NORTHCOM, recently discussed the difficulty of countering these UFOs during a test at Peterson Space Force Base. Mayes emphasized the legal and safety challenges associated with deploying defense measures like lasers or signal-jamming to combat potential drone incursions over sensitive airspace.
In contrast to international bases, domestic use of such defense technology has been restricted, raising concerns over unintended consequences. “It’s a very, very difficult capability to get permissions to utilize,” Mayes acknowledged.
Despite the technological challenges, Rojas believes the key to solving these mysteries lies in scientific analysis. “These incursions highlight the need for a process to identify the objects and get data to the right people,” he said. “With more mysterious situations, like any determined to be dealing with material not made on this planet, getting that data to scientists who can transparently analyze the cases will be paramount.”
Ultimately, Rojas views these unexplained events as an exciting opportunity to uncover something groundbreaking. “These are the cases where we will discover something new.”
As the UFO sightings continue to mount, the search for answers intensifies, leaving both civilians and military experts alike eager to unravel the truth behind the mysterious phenomena.
