my theory....
there is a lot of construction and repair underway based on the newest sat pictures. whoever owns the place appear to be doing repair work on the runways and taxiways which require a lot of painting. to paint you need to be near or on the runway where all the "Secrets" eventually show up to take off or land; for that reason they would tend to keep that job in house rather than contract it out. So they buy a bunch of painting equipment, give it to their in house folks, give them an area to work from ("alien blood" area) and put them to work.
To me, it looks like "OK guys, we got you the equipment, you have this area to practice or do whatever you want to. Figure out how your stuff works and get busy painting our airport. And by the way, don't worry how odd it looks on a satellite image."
