Combined with the horizontal lines across &amp;quot;plane&amp;quot;, it all suggests a weather-beaten opaque tarp that&amp;#x27;s been painted to conceal its contents and confuse any overhead photographers.</text></comment>

That would require constant shifting of props to maintain for 3 full days (this is 101 stuff for GEOINT folks).&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s also important to keep in mind that spy sats get far better resolution than this publicly-released image would lead you to believe.</text></comment>
