A videographer said he spotted an unusual UFO over the notorious Area 51 military base – the alleged flying object was dubbed a ‘Dorito’
An explorer snapped an eerie image of a mysterious UFO flying over the top secret Area 51 military base.
A backpacker was recording his stay in the desert by the Nevada base, on January 14, when he noticed something odd in the night sky. Anders Otteson spotted an unidentified aircraft flying above the military site at 3am local time. The off-grid videographer said this object appeared to be an “equilateral triangle” shape – which UFO researchers have dubbed the ‘Dorito’.
Otteson noted that he had spotted a B-2 Spirit flying over two hours earlier, but this was a different shape to the ‘Dorito’.

The videographer, who runs the channel Uncanny Expeditions, said the unexpected flying object he saw did not appear to have wings or flatter tailing edges.
He said: “Are we looking at a classified test flight or run-of-the-mill training sortie? I certainly think we have something interesting here.”
With this baffling find, a scanner checking unencrypted radio frequencies around Area 51 picked up an unusual pattern made up of code words, the YouTuber claimed. These code words were bizarrely related to snacks and food.
Otteson and UFO researcher Joerg Arnu alleged they heard phrases like “imperial with garlic”, “pretzel snack” and “fridge hydrate” being passed about in the exchange.
Despite this bizarre sighting, Otteson said there was a chance the ‘Dorito’ object he saw could have been a bomber plane and the odd phrases might have been military jargon.
Otteson said he has spotted the ‘Dorito’ UFO shape in the skies two other times. The videographer claimed to have seen “an as yet unacknowledged triangle-shaped aircraft” back in 2014 over Wichita, Kansas, and Amarillo, Texas.
Area 51 has long been a mysterious military base totally closed off to the public – opening up to decades worth of conspiracy theories about the site and military activity there.
Believers have long claimed that extra-terrestrial life is being hidden at the high-security base in Nevada, with people claiming for years that they have spotted UFOs and other weird sightings around the remote location. The US government has always maintained that Area 51 is simply a flight testing facility.
Last year, a mystery tower spotted at the site on Google Earth launched terrifying “alien technology” claims from worried social media users.
