A top secret airbase more mysterious than Area 51 has been spotted in the Nevada desert on Google Earth.
Area 6, a shielded airbase used for testing unmanned aircraft, has got conspiracy theorists wondering what the US Government might be hiding at such a remote location.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that the complex is only about 12 miles away from the more famous Area 51 in Nevada.
It found a brief indication of the site’s purpose in a report by website Flightglobal.
The document states, “The purpose of this facility is to construct, operate, and test a variety of unmanned aerial vehicles.”
A government spokesperson has said the facility’s controlled airspace and extensive sensor system also allow for what are called “sensor development activities.”
Area 6 was initially developed in the 50s as a location for testing nuclear devices underground, but it was reportedly updated in 2005.
