January 22, 2026
A skywatcher stationed near Area 51 in Nevada captured thermal video of a mysterious triangular craft cruising through the sky. The eyebrow-raising footage (featured above and isolated below) was reportedly filmed by explorer and videographer Anders Otteson, who operates the popular YouTube channel Uncanny Expeditions. The content creator captured the footage on January 14th while camping on Groom Lake Road, which leads to the secretive military base's front entrance. After hearing "what sounded like multiple aircraft in the valley," Otteson scanned the sky with a thermal imager, spotting a B-2 bomber and the contrail of another plane "above the ridge line near Groom Lake."
