Area 51 Mystery Jet Caught On Thermal Camera Sparks Sixth-Gen Stealth Fighter Speculation The military aviation and defense news blog The Aviationist has spent years tracking mysterious aircraft activity around U.S. restricted airspace. Its latest report highlights a thermal image that may reveal a previously unseen next-generation stealth fighter jet design featuring cranked-kite wings and canards near Area 51. "Had to update this composite image with the latest mysterious aircraft. We have reported on all of them over the years, starting 12 years ago with the Amarillo and Wichita sightings, then the January 2026 image by Uncanny Expeditions, and now the most recent one by Project Fear," The Aviationist wrote on X.

The Aviationist reached out to Project Fear for comment. Here's what they said: Here's what I can say on it: This was an amazing capture! I met up with the team who recorded this to show them some potential spotting locations around the Area 51 perimeter after introducing them to the gear I often use for night sky monitoring – in this case thermal imaging cameras. We did not see anything particularly noteworthy that week, but a few days later, I get a call asking if I can take a look at something they'd captured on the thermal imager. As soon as they sent the footage over, I knew we were looking at something very interesting that has not been captured before. Many theories are circulating on X about what exactly Project Fear captured on thermal imagery, including speculation that it could be tied to the U....

ugurhan/iStock via Getty Images Riyadh Air has taken delivery of its first two Boeing ( BA ) 787 Dreamliner aircraft, with the jets arriving in Riyadh as the Saudi Arabian carrier moves closer to launching commercial passenger service, according to an announcement Friday. The deliveries represent a milestone for the airline, which was established as part of Saudi Arabia's broader effort to expand its aviation and tourism sectors. Riyadh Air said the aircraft are the first of a planned fleet that could include as many as 72 Boeing 787s. The arrival of the jets comes as Saudi Arabia seeks to grow its role as a global aviation hub under the Kingdom's Vision 2030 economic diversification strategy. The government has set targets of attracting 150 million visitors annually and handling 330 million air passengers by the end of the decade. "The arrival of our first custom-built 787 Dreamliner airplanes in Riyadh is a historic moment for us and for Saudi aviation," Riyadh Air Chief Executive Tony Douglas said in a statement. Fleet expansion supports growth ambitions Riyadh Air plans to serve more than 100 destinations by 2030, with early routes expected to include London, Cairo and Jeddah. The carrier has positioned the Boeing 787 as a key part of its long-haul expansion strategy, with planned service connecting Saudi Arabia to destinations across Europe, Asia, Africa and North America. The airline was launched in 2023 and is backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. It is expected to compete with established Gulf carriers as it builds an international route network centered on Riyadh. Significance for investors For Boeing ( BA ) investors, the delivery provides another indication of demand for the company's widebody aircraft as international air travel continues to recover and airlines pursue fleet expansion plans. The Riyadh Air order is also part of a broader push by Middle Eastern carriers to add long-haul capacity, a market segment that has historically been impo...

Ljupco/iStock via Getty Images Eli Lilly ( LLY ) on Saturday reported positive results from two late-stage clinical trials of its experimental obesity drug retatrutide, showing substantial weight loss along with improvements in type 2 diabetes, knee osteoarthritis pain and obstructive sleep apnea. The results, presented at the American Diabetes Association's annual scientific meeting, add to growing evidence that obesity drugs may offer benefits beyond weight loss by improving a range of related health conditions. Why investors are paying attention For investors, the results strengthen Lilly's ( LLY ) position in the rapidly expanding obesity treatment market, where demand for newer weight-loss medicines has surged. Retatrutide is viewed as a potential successor to Lilly's ( LLY ) blockbuster drugs Zepbound and Mounjaro. If approved, the drug could help Lilly ( LLY ) expand its reach into additional obesity-related conditions such as sleep apnea and osteoarthritis, potentially opening new revenue opportunities and extending its leadership in the market. Retatrutide belongs to a new class of medicines known as "triple agonists." In simple terms, the drug activates three hormone pathways involved in regulating appetite, blood sugar and energy use. Current leading obesity drugs typically target one or two of those pathways. Nearly 30% average weight loss In the Phase 3 TRIUMPH-1 study, adults with obesity who received the highest dose of retatrutide lost an average of 70.3 pounds (31.89 kg), or 28.3% of their body weight, after 80 weeks of treatment. Participants receiving a lower 9-milligram dose lost an average of 64.4 pounds (29.21 kg). More than 65% of participants receiving the highest dose reduced their body mass index, or BMI, below 30, meaning they no longer met the medical definition of obesity. About one-third reached a BMI below 25, which is generally considered a healthy weight range. Among participants who started with more severe obesity and continued tre...

I grew up in a classroom where the name Norman Bethune was invoked with reverence.

I grew up in a classroom where the name Norman Bethune was invoked with reverence. Like every schoolchild in China, I could recite from memory Chairman Mao’s 1939 essay “In Memory of Norman Bethune”, which characterised Bethune as a man who had come from afar, who gave his life to the Chinese revolution, who embodied selflessness and internationalism. For years, I kept a poster in my office – the famous oil painting of Mao meeting Bethune in Yan’an – as a quiet tribute. As the years passed and...

FBI Fires Analysts Who Drafted Controversial Anti-Catholic Memo Via Headline USA , Several FBI analysts who drafted a 2023 memo that cited Southern Poverty Law Center information to justify targeting “radical-traditionalist Catholics” as potential violent domestic extremists were fired Friday, according to their lawyer, the latest wave of terminations under the leadership of its director Kash Patel. The fired employees included four intelligence analysts and a supervisory analyst. The FBI declined to comment. The January 2023 intelligence product produced by analysts in the FBI’s Richmond, Virginia, field office emerged as a political flashpoint after it was issued, with Republicans in Congress repeatedly citing it as part of their broader contention that the FBI during the Biden administration was targeting conservatives. The FBI quickly backtracked from the memo at the time, saying it had been drafted in error. Then-director Chris Wray repeatedly denied that charge and the FBI has said the document was quickly retracted and an internal review was launched. Merrick Garland, the attorney general under President Joe Biden, has said he was “appalled” by the memo. 🚨BREAKING🚨 The FBI's controversial memo targeting Catholics was inspired by an investigation into a schizophrenic man I've got the records to prove it 🧵 https://t.co/vTLAQI9gJr — Ken Silva (@JD_Cashless) April 23, 2024 As Headline USA exclusively revealed in April 2024, the FBI’s troubling memo was crafted by analysts involved in an investigation into a schizophrenic man who began attending a traditional Catholic church in early 2022. That schizophrenic man, 24-year-old Xavier Lopez, was arrested in November 2022 on a slew of domestic extremism-related charges. His mental health diagnosis was revealed during criminal proceedings . According to records from his case, Lopez was on law enforcement’s radar since September 2018, when he attempted suicide. Lopez was 18 years old at the time. The FBI opened an asses...
