Did something crash just out of Area 51 early Tuesday morning? Eye witness reports, flight tracking, witness and radio reports indicate something "black" may have crashed just east of Area 51.
The events unfolded like this. Just before 10 PM on Monday several Tankers launched from Beal Air Force base in California. Callsigns were TAHOE 90 and TAHOE 91. It's not that all usual for tankers to fly out of Beal but it was notable that they quickly climbed to 37K, Most air-to-air refueling aircraft usually tank just above 25,000 feet. The flight tracks took them very close to Area 51 and then continued southeast across Nevada, southern Utah, Colorado/New Mexico, over the Oklahoma Panhandle and then down south through Texas.
It's thought the tankers were flying in support of a large test/exercise involving several B-2s, F-18s and other aircraft including drones (launched out of Creech Air Force) and possibly some black (un- acknowledged) aircraft flying out of Area 51.
At my listening post in Texas I monitored TAHOE 91 refueling with unknown aircraft callsign "SHIVA FLIGHT." Some say SHIVA is a C-130 callsign but I doubt a C-130 was refueling above 35,000 feet.
The aircraft sounded like part of a tanker drag with both TAHOE aircraft flying down over Louisiana, Arkansas, and Southern Missouri.
Meanwhile another aircraft COBRA 47 launched out of Offutt AFB and flew in a route that took it near the Tahoe Flights.
After 2:00 AM (Texas time) I again monitored TAHOE 90 dragging SHIVA flight. They broke off refueling over southern Kansas. One aircraft (unknown type) asked for flight following to Nellis AFB and for current Nellis weather.
Now, unbeknownst to me, reports started appearing in military monitoring chatrooms about sightings of what looked like dozens of drone operating over southern Nevada.
Then Joerg (the webmaster at Dreamland Resort) was monitoring on his scanners what sounded like the proverbial shit hitting the fan. Joerg is basically the scanner master of Area 51.
I'll let Joerg tell you the rest of the story via his amazing YouTube channel:
Soon after a TFR was posted in the Tickaboo Valley area indicating something sensitive had indeed crashed,
