"The US Air Force has sparked a mystery near the top-secret base Area 51 after admitting the FBI was investigating a recent crash near the facility. In a statement on October 4, officials at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada said that an aircraft 'was involved in an incident,' crashing in the desert just miles from the restricted zone around Area 51 on September 23."
"Officials at Creech said investigators found an 'inert training bomb body' and a piece of an unidentified aircraft at the same crash site on October 3, prompting the military to get the FBI involved. According to the Air Force statement, officials believe someone intentionally altered the scene of the secretive crash after the military left the desert. An inert training bomb body is a practice explosive that's not rigged to explode."
"While the Air Force said that the craft was assigned to the base as part of the 432nd Wing, some on social media pointed out that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a temporary flight restriction around the area for an entire week. The reason for the shutdown was simply noted as 'national security' with no other explanation given by the FAA. The location of the flight restriction placed the crash roughly 12 miles east of the security boundary around Area 51, and about 24 miles from the base itself."
The US Air Force confirmed an aircraft crashed in the desert near Area 51 on September 23 and stated the FBI is investigating. The aircraft was assigned to Creech Air Force Base's 432nd Wing. The FAA imposed a week-long temporary flight restriction in the area citing 'national security.' Military personnel cleared the crash site, but investigators later found an inert training bomb body and a piece of unidentified aircraft, prompting the FBI referral. Officials believe someone intentionally altered the scene after the military left. A longtime Area 51 researcher visited the site days later and reported finding nothing.
