It turns out this alleged “UFO fighter jet” unveiled by the U.S.—often called the X1 or “UFO fighter”—is not real. In fact, it’s part of a spurious viral video that a Facebook post and even a PolitiFact analysis debunked as completely baseless—rated Pants on Fire! No credible news outlets confirm Elon Musk or the U.S. government have revealed any gravity-defying fighter jet with anti‑gravity technology (PolitiFact).
Here’s the most relevant clip fueling the rumors:
US FINALLY Unveils UFO Fighter Jet That Defies Physics!（viral video）
✅ What we do know:
- Fact-checkers like PolitiFact examined claims of an “Ethereon” UFO jet unveiled by Musk/SpaceX and found no evidence whatsoever. No credible sources, official documents, or reputable news reports support it (PolitiFact).
- That video is a re-edited, dramatized clip presumably made to generate online buzz—not an actual military or SpaceX announcement.
- There is a real U.S. program called NGAD (Next Generation Air Dominance), which includes a sixth-generation fighter (e.g. Boeing’s F‑47) in development—but it’s nothing like a UFO and it adheres to known physics (Wikipedia).
🛡️ What’s actually happening with U.S. military aviation:
- The NGAD program is advancing real-world stealth, hypersonic, and drone-swarming technologies—not alien anti-gravity crafts (Wikipedia).
- The Pentagon has been quietly working on these capabilities since at least 2014, and companies like Boeing and Lockheed Martin are competing to build the platforms (Wikipedia, Wikipedia).
- Expect future fighter jets like the F‑47 to have better stealth, range, Mach >2 speed, and integrated drones—but still within our grasp of physics.
🧭 Bottom line
That “UFO fighter jet” video? Entirely fabricated. It has no basis in fact. Official programs like NGAD are progressing—but what you’re seeing in viral clips is fantasy, not fact.
Curious to dive deeper into the NGAD program or the real F‑47 development? I can pull up the latest updates!
