◈ Secret Technology at Skunk Works / Plant 42 — UAP Hotspot Palmdale

Multiple independent sources describe the Palmdale/Lancaster (California) region as a long-standing UAP hotspot directly connected to Plant 42 and Lockheed Skunk Works. Ben Rich (Skunk Works director 1975–1991) said shortly before his death that 'things exist in the desert that are 50 years beyond what you can imagine.' In 2024, The War Zone revealed mysterious drone incursions over Plant 42. In August 2026, a UFO fleet was again filmed over the region. The congruence suggests either secret U.S. test programs or UAP interest in military technology centers.
