New Buildings at Area 51

On a recent Tikaboo hike I found several new buildings in the southern part of Area 51 (see above photo, taken yesterday morning). A new tall hangar has been constructed to the right of Hangar 9, and the Arm/De-Arm Hangar (Hangar 19) has been extended on both ends. It now is three times its original size.

There still appears to be construction activity in the south ramp area, which has been going on for at least a year. This confirms our speculations that a new project, quite possibly a UAV project, has moved into the southern part of the base, or is about to.

It would appear that part of the project requires a hangar taller than the available Hangars 9-13.

I will post more analysis and a new panorama when I had more time to review the photos.

Absoutely no permission will be given for use of this photo anywhere outside of Dreamland Resort.
