UAP Connections
MCAS Yuma is referenced in the context of the 1997 Hunter Warrior Advanced Warfighting Experiment as one of the Marine Corps aviation installations whose squadrons participated in or supported the exercise at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center 29 Palms. The base's proximity to 29 Palms and its role in supporting Marine aviation exercises places it within the network of Southwest US military installations where UAP-related incidents have been reported.
