An egg-shaped metallic UFO was kept at Area 51 in the 1980s, a whistleblower claims in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com.
Engineers at the Nevada airbase claimed the CIA found the strange craft in the desert and brought it to them for investigation – but later shipped it to another base after they were unable to get inside the object.
Eric Taber has been a defense aerospace contractor for 13 years and has held a security clearance to work on military aircraft.
In an interview with DailyMail.com, he revealed the story his late great uncle Sam Urquhart, an Area 51 contractor, told him about a UFO at the mysterious desert base.
Taber testified in May to the Pentagon‘s UFO investigation unit, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), who are collecting accounts of alleged government possession of non-human craft.
The claim – though an unverified story from a now-deceased witness – is part of a long history of rumors about potential extraterrestrial craft or futuristic spaceships stored at the Nevada desert airbase near Groom Lake, north of Las Vegas.
The news comes after whistleblowers told Congress the government has a secret program to capture crashed or landed ‘non-human’ vehicles and has for decades been attempting to glean technological insights from these alleged out-of-this-world objects.
The claims have prompted lawmakers to draft legislation to disclose any such programs, currently working its way through Congress.
Taber spoke to DailyMail.com only about his great uncle’s story, declining to comment on any of his own work as a defense contractor.
