A thermal image captured near Area 51 allegedly shows a previously unseen next-generation aircraft design with cranked-kite wings and canards, which is now spurring many theories online.
Groom Lake, better known as Area 51, has always attracted interest among aviation enthusiasts because of the advanced X-plane programs it hosted in the past and the ones it could possibly host nowadays. A new thermal image captured in the area nearby might now have captured one of those current X-planes.
The image was shared online by the Project Fear YouTube channel on June 3, 2026, meant as a teaser for the full video, eventually released on June 5. The image has immediately started spurring online many theories, with some people questioning whether the image is a fake.
