US F-16 Viper Fighter Jet Damaged After Collision With UFO Over Arizona

  • On January 19, 2023, a U.S. Air Force F-16 Viper collided with an orange-white uncrewed aerial system over the Barry Goldwater Range in Arizona.
  • This incident is part of increased sightings and encounters with unidentified aerial phenomena, especially in sensitive military zones near the Arizona-Mexico border.
  • The UAS strike cracked the fighter jet's canopy, forced an emergency landing, and was one of four similar drone encounters reported that day.
  • FAA records show 757 UAP sightings worldwide from May 2023 to June 2024, with many unexplained cases and suspicions that some drones serve cartel surveillance or smuggling purposes.
  • The F-16 collision and ongoing UAP activity have prompted heightened national security investigations and underline Arizona's role as a focal area for such phenomena.
