New scoot-and-hide at Area 51

Gabe's aerial photos of Area 51 from Sunday show what looks like a huge scoot-and-hide hangar just east of the old F-117 hangars 20-23. From the photos I estimate the building to be about 450x300ft. It will easily be the largest structure at Area 51 with a 3-acre footprint!

It appears to be designed to keep test articles coming out of the hangars out of satellite view while they are readied for take-off. From the size of the hangars I would guess the project to be fighter sized. Obviously it is sensitive enough to justify building a new hangar to conceal it. Any thoughts?
