A hitherto-unreported (or at least very, very under-reported) airstrip
at Area 51.

You think that's odd, make heads or tails of this:

Shades of the Bavarian Illuminati! It looks so perfect that it looks
faked, but under full magnification you can see that its made up of
roads. Almost looks like some sort of bombing target with a triangle
around it.
Here's Area 51 by the way:

If that comes up as the Little a-Le-Inn, Area 51 is just south of the
circuler white dry lake to its lower left.

They look like irrigated areas using rotating irrigation systems. We
have those around here and the size is right for the ones on the photo.
I wonder if they are waste treatment related?
There's a whole slew of aircraft at Davis-Monthan BTW, this place is fun
to look around:

That's an RB-57 in the middle.

Well golly, isn't it obvious? It's where the new "sport" model UFOS land!




And the craters are because they don't land well?

Actually, there's two. Scroll south until you come to a largish
building, then scroll a little west. The second is sitting NNW of the
NW corner of the building.

This would be a fun trash pile to dig through:

Here's three more; you'd think they would try to keep the same aircraft
types together:
