If you look just above the shadowed forms and to the right, the metal structure has the same form to it. I believe that this larger metal structure is a stress test rig. they put the test aircraft and subject it's aircraft structure to the flight loads over the expected lifetime of an aircraft.

What I take from these forms is the outline of a new stealth aircraft, probably a UAV. Or it could be the test rig of one of the recently developed and revealed UAV's. The shadowed forms look like a smaller version of the big one in the sunlight. I don't think they are aircraft ariframes.

Nice catch on the look into the shadows. I had been looking at the metal structure over the weekend and never noticed the shadowed forms! I won't make that mistake again...
