I originally thought they were contrails. Maybe J158 on the left and J9 on the right. But given they have the same length and tilt, I think they are
star trails.
The horizontal line for sure is related to the range. Maybe a chopper? UAV. Hard to say. I'm also not sure if it is the next valley over or inside the
NTS.
Getting physical evidence (at least of the electromagnetic flavor) from the range is easy. Analysis is much more difficult.
The range has many users, of which Groom is just one. In a way, it makes great sense to put Groom Lake in the middle of the NTTR. The Nellis or NTS
activity provides cover for Groom. If the base were in some remote place like Dugway, virtually all flight would be attributed to test articles.
So that light in the sky...is it a secret aircraft test or a flare? Well, lots of flares are released over the NTTR. This isn't quite like hiding in
plain sight, but similar.
