In a revelation that has sent shockwaves across both the aerospace and conspiracy theory communities, Elon Musk has finally broken his silence regarding the alleged existence of a UFO-like fighter jet that some claim defies the known laws of physics. The tech mogul and SpaceX founder addressed the rumors during an unexpected segment in a live Q&A at Starbase, Texas.

“I’ve seen things,” Musk said cryptically, pausing before adding, “not everything that’s flying around out there is ours—or theirs.” While he stopped short of confirming the exact nature or origin of the aircraft in question, Musk’s statement fueled further speculation about a top-secret aerospace project operating beyond public knowledge.
Insiders, including a former SpaceX engineer who requested anonymity, claim that a prototype of the so-called “Phantom-X” fighter jet has been in development at a hidden test facility in the Nevada desert. According to the source, the craft can allegedly hover without any visible propulsion, accelerate instantly without inertia, and—perhaps most incredibly—turn completely invisible to the naked eye and radar systems.
“It doesn’t move like anything made by humans,” the insider explained. “It bends light, it doesn’t make sound, and it reacts to thought input. It’s either the result of decades of secret research—or not from this world at all.”
While some experts argue that such capabilities are theoretically impossible under classical physics, others point to Musk’s history of turning science fiction into reality. If anyone could be involved in creating or reverse-engineering such a craft, they say, it’s the man behind reusable rockets and self-driving cars.
Musk, known for his provocative comments, refused to go into further detail. However, when pressed on whether humanity is “alone in the universe,” he responded with a wry smile: “The universe is suspiciously quiet. But silence doesn’t mean emptiness.”
UFO researchers and enthusiasts have long believed that high-ranking private tech firms may have access to alien or ultra-advanced technology, either recovered or co-developed. Musk’s recent comments have only poured fuel on those fires. Has Tesla’s CEO seen something beyond our comprehension—or is this simply part of his flair for theatrical ambiguity?
For now, there is no official proof that such a fighter jet exists. But the idea of a physics-defying aircraft that can hover, vanish, and possibly think for itself is no longer relegated to sci-fi novels. Thanks to Musk’s brief but provocative admission, the world is now watching the skies—and SpaceX’s hangars—a little more closely.
