Pentagon Spread UFO Myths to Conceal Stealth Jet Development
- In the 1980s, senior U.S. military officials spread false UFO myths near Area 51 to divert attention from classified weapons programs.
- This disinformation aimed to mislead both civilians and Soviet intelligence, protecting Cold War stealth fighter development like the F-117 Nighthawk.
- An Air Force colonel distributed doctored flying saucer photos at a local bar as an "official mission" to support the cover-up and reinforce the UFO narrative.
- A 2024 Pentagon report found no evidence of alien technology but acknowledged decades of deliberate disinformation, with a second report planned to reveal false documents and events.
- These revelations suggest the longstanding UFO mythology primarily served to conceal secret military projects rather than indicate extraterrestrial activity.
