Im only going on what I can find on google and youtube, which is probably just a load of bollocks but I fail to see how noone knows anything at all about it

I have a feeling this is going to be my new obsession for a few days, just like when I discovered all the 9/11 conspiracy stuff

Its quite a large airbase stuck in the Nevadan desert, in the middle of a very large training and bombing area. Not exactly the place where people either walk to or drive.

Construction workers for it were flown in direct, and then directly out when finished, they had no real idea where they were. Initial construction was carried out during the paranoia of the cold war.

Air force staff at the base sign extra security agreements etc.

Its an experimental and testing station for new aircraft. It also has manufacturing areas for assembly of fuselages etc which are brought in and then assembled on site. Pre acceptance testing is carried out there for stealth aircraft etc prior to coming online as air force inventory, consequently the high level of secrecty surrounding the base. Also a possible excuse for the trailer living locals to claim strange flying things at wierd times.
