Obama Admin Panicking After Mysterious Landing Strip In Nevada Desert Discovered According to recent reports, a mile-long landing strip in the remote Nevada desert is believed by some to be the home base for testing sensors on a top-secret fleet of drones The asphalt landing strip is in Area 6 of the Yucca Flat test site, just 12 miles northeast of the famous Area 51. Google Earth reveals that a handful of hangars with clamshell doors are clustered at one end of the mysterious airstrip. The area does not have a name, and is fenced off. It can be seen from the road by those touring the Nevada National Security Site of Yucca Flat. The area is famous for the hundreds of nuclear tests that have been conducted by the military there over the past few decades. Little is known about Area 6, but the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security both use the location. They come here to test their own sensors, Darwin Morgan, a spokesperson for the National Nuclear Security Administration told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Officials with the government have been hesitant to reveal any details about the site, but a 7,500 page document on nuclear safety includes a paragraph about Area 6, describing it as an aerial operations facility. The purpose of the facility is to construct, operate, and test a variety of unmanned aerial vehicles, the report notes. Tests include, but are not limited to, airframe modifications, sensor operation, and onboard computer development. A small, manned chase plane is used to track the unmanned aerial vehicles. The airstrip was built in 2008 for $9.6 million, and the airspace above it is controlled. What do you think of this mysterious airstrip?
