Pilot Describes Bizarre UFO Sightings Near Area 51
A former US Air Force pilot, Ryan Bodenheimer, reported seeing two strange objects while flying.
One was triangular, shiny, and very fast.
The other was a rectangle with glowing edges.
He saw these near Area 51, but radar didn't pick them up, and air traffic control didn't confirm.
The Pentagon has received many reports of UFOs, and most are still not understood.
