Boeing Images, Patents of Mothership Appear to be from Area 51
Since the public became aware of the clandestine Area 51 installation at Nevada’s Groom Lake, it has forever been associated with secret advanced technology and extraterrestrials. And now, Boeing’s release of several concept drawings showing a reusable “mothership” spacecraft have provided a glimpse into the type of skunkworks projects developed there.
The Drive’s WarZone, first picked up on the release of these illustrations in January, before dissecting them in a post published a few weeks later.
By analyzing the landscape and apparent model year of a car in the drawings, the two determined the mockups came from the late 1980s or early 1990s. They identified a Ford Bronco and the distinctive hills of Groom Lake, saying these resemblances are almost certainly a depiction of Area 51.
What makes the photos so fascinating is the advanced technology of the spacecraft and its similitude to reports of triangular UFOs seen numerous times in the area over the years.
The illustrations seem to match perfectly with one of Boeing’s patents for a “two-stage-to-orbit” system and depicts a mothership carrying a smaller craft in its undercarriage. The craft’s description says it would be launched on unannounced missions to space and deploy payloads into orbit, before landing at any number of airfields around the world. These capabilites would have been unattainable through standard rocketry, not to mention its design far precedes modern reusable rockets like SpaceX’s Falcon 9.
The mothership appears to be propelled by air-breathing jet engines, while the smaller jet contained within it appears to have a scramjet engine – an advanced propulsion system capable of achieving hypersonic flight into space. The craft also seems to have a heat shield on its undercarriage similar to those found on the space shuttle.
Those in the UFO community have pointed out that the smaller, “parasite” craft depicted in the illustrations has a similarity to the infamous TR-3B craft witnessed countless times over the past decades.
According to The War Zone, the craft was likely an experimental product of the Cold War and the government’s desire to gain an edge on the Soviets. But they also said it wouldn’t be a surprise if a concept like this was being revived and updated with modern technology, given recently expressed desires for a space force and the paranoia around space warfare. There have also been pictures that recently surfaced, showing a new hangar at Area 51 without a roof or with a retractable roof, sparking conjecture as to whether some new technology is currently under development.
While the release of these drawings is certainly fascinating, there are still numerous questions left unanswered.
Did this project ever even come to fruition? Is this some type of reverse-engineered alien craft from Area 51? And could this have been the culprit behind decades of mass sightings of a black triangle UFO, a.k.a. the TR-3B?
Furthermore, could this have anything to do with the mysterious triangular object hovering past the ISS earlier this year?

Unsolved: The Mysterious Disappearance of Santiago Flight 513
On September 4, 1954, Santiago Airlines Flight 513 departed from Aachen, West Germany, destined for Porto Alegre, Brazil. The flight should have taken around 18 hours.
Instead, it took 35 years. On October 12, 1989, without any contact with air traffic controllers, Santiago Flight 513 was spotted circling the Porto Alegre airport, where it eventually made a successful landing. Witnesses at the airport reported an eerie sense of disbelief as the ghostly plane descended, unannounced and seemingly out of nowhere, stirring questions that no one was prepared to answer. How did Santiago Flight 513 disappear so suddenly, only to reappear decades later in such an inexplicable manner?
Flight 513: The Plane That Never Arrived
Santiago Flight 513’s journey began like any other flight from that era. Piloted by Captain Miguel Victor Cury, the aircraft had been checked, cleared, and prepped for its scheduled 18-hour flight from Aachen, Germany, to Porto Alegre, Brazil. The plane, a Lockheed Super Constellation, was known for handling long flights, was in top condition, and had taken similar routes several times in the past.
With 88 passengers and four crew members on board, the plane set off smoothly. Passengers likely settled into the flight, unaware of any unusual circumstances or issues. But somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean, all contact with Santiago Airlines Flight 513 ended without warning. Attempts to reach the crew through radio communications failed, and the sudden silence led to a number of search and rescue operations. Rescue teams searched vast stretches of ocean for days on end, holding out hope for survivors, however, no trace of the aircraft or its passengers could be found. The routine flight had inexplicably vanished, leaving behind only questions.
