It seems that “Area 51” has not lost its aura of mystery. For decades, it has continued to pique curiosity in the United States.

A defense aviation contractor made new claims during an exclusive interview with the British newspaper “Daily Mail.”

In this context, the contractor, who has been working in the defense aviation field for 13 years and holds security clearance to work on military aircraft, alleged that a mysterious egg-shaped metallic object was kept in Area 51 in the 1980s. The contractor mentioned that engineers at the Nellis Air Force Base claimed that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) discovered this mysterious object in the desert and brought it in for investigation. However, they failed to penetrate it and decided to ship it to another base.

According to the contractor’s testimony, the object appears to be egg-shaped, metallic, the size of a four-wheel-drive vehicle, and silver-gray in color. It has no entrance or exit, and there are no signs of welding, covering, or external markings. Attempts to open the object using X-rays and puncture it were unsuccessful.

The contractor confirmed that they managed to obtain very small samples from the object and believed it originated from outside Earth. Nevertheless, it is assumed that Americans will never see this object, according to what the contractor relayed from his uncle.
