Nellis Air Force Base Range Disc Video 1994

In May 1994, Nellis Air Force Base range tracking cameras — precision optics systems designed to track aircraft and weapons during test operations — captured footage of a disc-shaped craft performing maneuvers over the Nevada Test and Training Range, one of the most restricted airspace areas in the United States. The footage appeared to show a craft with surface features including a pulsing energy signature or electromagnetic corona. The footage was reportedly obtained from a Nellis Range Control operator and was leaked in 1994. NBC News broadcast the footage. Multiple researchers and the USAF's own unofficial analysis could not identify the craft in the footage as any known test vehicle. The footage's origins from calibrated military range tracking cameras — rather than a consumer camcorder — gave it technical credibility above most contemporaneous UAP footage. The Nellis range video was widely broadcast and analyzed throughout the 1990s.
