Area 51 is still a place where secret tests are conducted due to its extreme isolation. You can't really find a place similar to Groom Lake anywhere in the US. It is the most private area with such a large, flat, bottom lake bed.

If Groom Lake is so yesterday, would someone please explain the tall triangular tower? For bonus points, tell me what exactly is in that new big arse hangar.

That tower is pretty awesome looking..."The triangular structure near the RCS range was built in 2006, 160 ft tall, sides are about 40 ft. wide. The tower can rotate around its center. There are no support buildings nearby, but the proximity to the RCS rage could suggest that it is controlled from there. Around there are 2 dish antennas."
That new hanger is HUGE! Maybe they are consolidating some of the space and the larger hanger is more efficient for aircraft storage???? Maybe the Stealth Blimp is stored in there?
I'd love to know!
