Guarda ..... in occasione del Primo di Aprile ..... lo scherzo lo hanno fatto Air & Cosmos (quando tale data cadeva di venerdì ..... giorno della pubblicazione della rivista) e Flight International in più di una occasione .....
Che lo abbia anche fatto AW&ST ..... francamente non lo ricordo .....
Aggiungo ora il commento sugli avvistamenti che David Cenciotti fa sul suo blog .....
Da quel nulla che si vede, a parte una sagoma molto imparentabile con quella dello Spirit e di altri successivi prototipi stealth... non si può evincere se sia un manned o un unmanned...
"The curve is flattening: we can start lifting restrictions now" = "The parachute has slowed our rate of descent: we can take it off now!" Chesley Burnett "Sully" Sullenberger
Singolare il fatto che la precisazione dell'Air Force sia stata rilasciata al sito dell'USNI..... ente che vive in pratica in simbiosi con l'US Navy ..... .
Comunque ..... sia quel che sia ..... in quel di 'Groom Lake' la crisi dell'edilizia non si è mai fatta sentire .....
In the latest satellite imagery released to the public, dated June 30th (partial) and June 2nd (full), Area 51 continues to undergo changes, and one of them is significant in nature.
This new construction project is of especially high interest, not just because of its physical size, but also because of its very peculiar location and timing.
Già ..... ma cosa continua a bollire in pentola da quelle parti ..... specialmente intorno all' ora delle streghe ?
... a tiny fleet of dedicated test tankers based out of the heart of the USAF's flight test apparatus at Edwards AFB will provide much-needed fuel to very secretive flying machines.
One of these flights was especially peculiar, occurring on September 20th, 2018 and taking place right over Area 51 that sits deep inside the NTTR under its own super-restricted airspace. --- --- ---
But 61-0320's most prolific flight profile is orbiting near Edwards AFB and supporting ongoing aircraft test programs at the base.
Still, judging by the aircraft's flight logs, it seems that its presence around Area 51, usually in the witching hour, has become increasingly in demand.
"Storm Area 51" ... un mistero ... ma non troppo ...
The humorous “Storm Area 51” event page on Facebook that went viral several weeks ago was removed by Facebook on Aug. 3, 2019, for “violating community standards”.
The spoof event page had attracted massive media attention and was featured in news outlets around the world.
Before the page was removed, approximately 2 million people had clicked on the page tab saying they would “attend”.
While the page was originally meant as a prank, it specified a date for the phony event, and that may have compelled some people and media outlets to visit the area simply to see if anything would happen on the day the phony event was scheduled.
