The Air Force’s clandestine flight test center deep inside the Nevada Test and Training Range, known as Area 51 or Groom Lake, among more colorful nicknames, continues to grow as it approaches its seventh decade of operations. Constant construction has grown the remote facility dramatically since the turn of the millennium, including the addition of a massive and still mysterious hangar built at the base’s remote southern end. Now, an even larger extension to an existing hangar facility that is quite peculiar in nature points to the very real possibility that the age of large swarms of unmanned combat air vehicles (UCAVs) has finally arrived.

SCARIER 51: Incredible aerial timelapse reveals how the mysterious Area 51 has expanded over the last 30 years
EVER since the 1950s, the US government’s Area 51 – located deep within the remote Nevada desert – has been the subject of intense conspiracy theories.
But now Google Maps has offered a rare glimpse of the mysterious government site – revealing a massive build up of infrastructure at the base over the past 30 years.
Satellite imagery recorded annually since 1984 shows a rapid expansion of buildings and runways at the base.
This includes the construction of a second runway and what appears to be an extension of the first.
Buildings are also being constructed into the side of a nearby mountain – though what they contain remains a mystery.
