New hangar addition to Area 51.

New hangar addition to Area 51.
Las Vegas, Nevada (NV), US
Really surprised that this hasn't been posted on VG! This is the latest new hangar built between 2005 and 2010? It is really big, 342 width by 180 depth. The opening for the doors is about 175feet? The wingspan of a B767 is 156 feet so they have some room to play with. The wingspan for a Global Hawk is 116 feet. If this is for a new high altitude UAV, USAF/CIA went big.

Could also big for a new high altitude, LONG ENDURANCE AIRSHIP like Lockheed ISIS but then the hangar is small for airship. Maybe a smaller black airship to test it?

Could also be for a new high speed vehicle that we keep hearing about....
