UFO sightings surge near Area 51 and U.S. military bases

Recent UFO sightings near Area 51 and Nellis Air Force Base have sparked renewed interest in unidentified aerial phenomena. Witnesses reported strange lights and objects, including a notable sighting of a "big fireball in a cube." Residents near Nellis have described over 100 encounters with unusual lights since mid-2020. These lights, often red, green, or white, displayed erratic movements and prolonged hovering, leading some to believe they are not man-made. In December 2023, swarms of unidentified drones invaded restricted airspace at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, prompting military officials to call for advanced investigation tools. The U.S. military faces challenges in addressing these incidents due to legal restrictions on anti-drone technology.
