Predator Drone Filmed by Three UAP over Nuclear Facility
A U.S. military Predator drone captured footage of three unidentified objects flying in formation over a nuclear facility in 2011. The objects demonstrated coordinated movement and advanced capabilities. The footage was later shared within the AATIP program as evidence of UAP interest in nuclear sites.
Background
In 2011, a US military Predator drone captured footage of three unidentified objects flying in formation over a US nuclear facility. The objects demonstrated coordinated movement and capabilities inconsistent with any known US or foreign aircraft. The footage was later shared within the AATIP programme as evidence of persistent UAP interest in nuclear-related US installations.
The Incident
Elizondo describes the footage in Imminent (2024) as showing three objects maintaining a precise triangular formation at high altitude. The Predator's optical systems tracked the objects over several minutes. Subsequent analysis by AATIP and allied intelligence-community analysts concluded that no known adversary platform — Russian, Chinese, or otherwise — matched the flight signature.
Significance
The Predator case is one of multiple documented UAP incidents over or near US nuclear-weapons-related sites, a pattern stretching from the 1967 Malmstrom AFB Echo Flight event through the 1980 Kirtland AFB incursions and into contemporary reports. Elizondo cites the case as AATIP-era confirmation of the long-standing UAP-nuclear correlation documented earlier by researcher Robert Hastings and by the 2010 Captains Press Conference.
