I was looking at some satellite images when I noticed something weird in 2024, if you look in the last 2 images it appears to have left behind an outline leading me to believe it wasn't just some error. what could this be?
I get a lot of F-117 articles in my Google alert feed with obvious errors so I never post them. This one looks accurate to the best of my knowledge, such as it is.

Edit:
Try this ugly link:
2 Buffs, headed NW.
They were testing something earlier, I heard the engines but couldn't spot whatever it was.
Also - I have an ADSB receiver running, link will only show aircraft if I have my Starlink running. MLAT won't work as I have coordinates set to the Groom Tower :) :
Hey, I'm headed out to film a YouTube video near Area 51. The YouTube channel is called Revival Maps. We want to hear about the Area 51 / alien lore from a local. Does anyone know of any interesting people who would be down to connect with us and tell us about the area?
Nothing flying on Sunday, so I thought I would check out these gates. Left some geocaches. Nothing really new, I do like to check them though. Wilson/Range 61 gate you can sometimes hear or see aircraft doing live fire exercises at a dry lake south of the gate. Not on a Sunday though. Beautiful scenery in this area. Never saw a camo dude all day.
Nothing has really changed since last time I was in there. I left a geocache in there. Signs were dangling off the pole so I fixed them. Can't have tourists wandering into the Restricted Area unaware. This border point is one of the few that would actually get you to the base. But I know for a fact (don't ask) the camo dudes sit on the other side of the hill waiting to see if you trespass. They actually sit on the old road up to Freedom Ridge. I didn't see the dudes until I was back at GLR. They know who I am, so they just check to make sure I come back out and leave. Pics of the strange sandstone formations in there. Very weird, some have holes that go right through them.
I took a very rough dry wash from the southwest to get in there. I don't recommend it unless you are riding a four-wheel drive quad like mine. It could be a hike for someone I guess. 1.2 miles from the nearest point I could drive in with my Tacoma. 37.371107, -115.423179
I really hate wild goose chases. With the coordinates I had it took me probably half an hour to find the site. Thankfully I spotted some burnt Joshua trees. Here are actual coordinates I took from the center of the site: 37.383197, -115.408124
Someone kindly put all the debris they found in a pile, actually a couple of piles. I found some more and added it to a pile. I am betting a lot of it was hauled away, someone was clearly digging holes, the place was pretty cleaned up. Sad for those of us that go in there looking for debris and taking pictures of it.
I spent at least an hour walking the perimeter at different radiuses, hoping to find that snapped off wing that was never retrieved (I am kidding). A lot of pieces of black fibrous material, looked like carbon fiber.
There is actually a very rough old trail that goes right from the site off to the NNW. I doubt it is even visible on Google Earth. Similar to the roads the bus took to S4 /s
Which conspiracy theories do you find most plausible or which do you believe in?
Discovered this while I was investigating a story about camo dudes wielding radiation guns. Riding the trails near Tempiute mine on my quad. Lots more no trespassing and keep out signs. Saw some workers and briefly talked to them. This was up near the old stone cabin, they had a backhoe, some type of drilling rig, and white pickups. I guess more than camo dudes have white pickups. Anyways, on the way out I noticed a trail up the side of a mountain, with what looked like new power poles leading up there. Very steep climb but my Tacoma made it. Appears to be pilings for a comm site, and materials to construct a tower.
No way to deduce what this new comm tower will be used for, nothing there but heavy equipment, three pilings and the makings of a tower. This site has a complete view of the entire Tikaboo valley, also line of sight to Bald Mountain. So it may or may not be military related, however it's possible they are putting a cell site here. For those unaware there is zero cell service in this valley. Cell service here would be nice, as I have to rely on my Starlink for communications.
Also as you can see, only background radiation.
Location here: 37.601767, -115.639915
First spot is main trail from the north, second is a much rougher trail from another direction. I had really hoped to get in there and poke around but I guess it ain't going to happen.

On a side note. They must have been testing something last night, something very loud. Moonless night perfect for testing. Whatever it was took off three times and headed to the northwest.
I’m curious. Did the Aurora spy plane actually exist? My guess was it was a code name for several spy plane platforms. What’s the consensus here?
Pretty good video going over the recent land grab and then climbing Reveille Peak to look into Area51.
Not sure if anyone knows about Wasteland By Wednesday? He was up investigating the Lincoln Tungsten Mine near Area 51 since it has now "reopened". And he was scoping it out, flying his drone, etc. He put his drone up a 2nd time and he had a gieger counter with him the whole time reading pretty normal background radiation levels when all of a sudden during the 2nd drone flight he bombarded by quite a bit of radation and it kept going up. He said even started to make him feel "off" like slightly confused. It also made his drone lose connection to the radio. The radiation attack starts around 38:40 in the video. I'd be curious to hear what other peoples opinions are of what happened.
I may have to ban myself!
