Did Area 51 Accidentally Admit It Reverse Engineers UFOs? Maybe, Docs Show

Several government whistleblowers have claimed a secretive “Project Redlight” was carried out near Area 51 with an effort to reverse engineer extraterrestrial craft. Now, never-before-noticed documents confirm a Project Redlight was real, and it was operated inside Project Oxcart, a program designed to test experimental aircraft.
