What is this mysterious huge tower at Area 51 spotted on Google Earth? [1]

['Allan Rose Hill']

Date: 2025-04-15  

Around 83 miles northwest of Las Vegas lies Area 51, the classified military base where new aerospace technology is tested and—depending on your appetite for conspiracy theories—a high-tech facility where extraterrestrials chill on ice as their crashed craft are reverse engineered. Recently, a new feature was spotted on the Google Earth image of Area 51: a huge triangular black tower.

You can see the structure for yourself at 37°14'46.5"N 115°49'24.0"W but maybe don't try to drive over there as They aren't fond of unanounced visitors. After all, the truth is in there.
