There's a Highly Classified Airline The Government Doesn't Want You To Know About, and They're Hiring

There's a Highly Classified Airline The Government Doesn't Want You To Know About, and They're Hiring

Janet, a top-secret government airline that flies into the top-secret government-run Area 51 definitely isn’t involved in anything weird.

Flight attendants don’t want their job to be interesting. When your workday ends up in the news because of a celebrity meltdown or because a passenger wants to try something creative like wearing all of his clothes at once, rather than pay a checked baggage fee, the skies don’t feel particularly friendly. The number of drunk airline passengers jumped 50 percent in 2017, sexual harassment and assault on the job is almost a given, and if the passengers aren’t misbehaving, their support animals are pooping and peeing on the plane or biting other passengers — so frequently that Delta is now changing its policies after seeing a 150 percent increase since 2015 in the number of support animals on planes — and a corresponding 85 percent increase in bad animal (and human) behavior.

Flight attendants who work for Janet, the top-secret, highly classified airline operated by the United States Air Force, however, may well enjoy quieter workdays. Janet Passengers tend to be military personnel and other government entities, and presumably their support animals are highly trained as well. Janet is said to stand for Just Another Non-Existent Terminal, and they are hiring.


The ideal candidate "must be level-headed and clear thinking while handling unusual incidents and situations (severe weather conditions, including turbulence, delays due to weather or mechanicals, hijackings or bomb threats)," according to the job posting. Another qualification: "Active Top Secret Clearance Highly Desired."

OK, so maybe it’s not such a quiet job. What’s it like to work for Janet? No one’s saying, because it is just that top secret. We do know that the airline operates out of a small, heavily guarded terminal in Las Vegas. They own a fleet of Boeing aircraft marked with a red stripe down the fuselage. And they fly to top-secret locations throughout the western US, including Area 51.

Area 51, formally called Homey Airport, is located deep in the Nevada desert. Although it has been the subject of intense speculation for decades, the CIA only acknowledged that the facility exists in 2013, when footage from satellites, drones, and mapping technologies were made available on the Internet, making it harder to conceal its existence.

What exactly is kept there? Some believe this is where the US government keeps aliens and their spaceships, although declassified reports obtained by journalists with the National Security Archive via the Freedom of Information Act deny all of that. Those reports, written by the CIA in 1992, wouldn’t be able to account for any alien activity from the past three decades, of course.

In January, passengers on a regular airline traveling over the Nevada reported seeing bright, flashing lights coming from something on the ground. Passengers speculated that their airline changed course after realizing the strange sighting captured the attention of the passengers. A passenger captured footage, and it joins a treasure trove of questionable YouTube videos about the mysterious Area 51.

Getting someone to take your alien sighting seriously is a challenging matter when so many reports look like, well, fake news. However, around half of Americans believe in aliens. The astronomy community is well-versed in dealing with speculation. When a star known as “Tabby’s Star” demonstrated a dimming and brightening aspect, for example, some people speculated that it was not a common star, but rather an approaching spaceship or an alien superstructure. After 1,700 people contributed to a Kickstarter campaign to raise money for a dedicated telescope to monitor Tabby’s behavior, scientists were able to closely observe the star from the Las Cumbres Observatory from March 2016 to December 2017. A new paper in The Astrophysical Journal Letters concludes that Tabby is unlikely to be controlled by aliens. Instead, dust was the culprit.

“Dust is most likely the reason why the star’s light appears to dim and brighten. The new data shows that different colors of light are being blocked at different intensities. Therefore, whatever is passing between us and the star is not opaque, as would be expected from a planet or alien megastructure,” LSU Department of Physics & Astronomy Assistant Professor TabethaBoyajian said.

That doesn’t mean that something isn’t out there, however, or that the US government isn’t keeping an eye on the skies. A secret Pentagon UFO program investigated alien sightings from 2007-2015, with bipartisan funding secured by Nevada Senator Harry Reid, who is known for his interest in space oddities, and also happens to be from Nevada, home to Area 51. The program seems to have turned up nothing of note. Or so they say.

Dr. Oz Slammed After His 'Credit Card' Health Care Analogy Goes Completely Off The Rails

Snake oil salesman Dr. Mehmet Oz—now the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—was criticized after he tried to discuss U.S. health insurance providers' pledge to speed up the prior authorization process by oddly comparing it to a "credit card," underscoring just how much he doesn't understand the job he currently holds.

Earlier this week, major U.S. health insurers—including Cigna, Aetna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare—announced a set of reforms aimed at simplifying the often frustrating prior authorization process for patients and providers.

Ossoff pressed Russell Vought on the administration’s decision to cut the agency’s budget by nearly half and on the loss of roughly 25% of its workforce.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
