I guess I can see the SAM site resemblance for the star one. But the others don't make a lot of sense. Plus I don't think that area is used for a military practice range. Nellis AFB has huge swaths of land dedicated to that purpose (many of which are out in the middle of nowhere AFAIK) so I don't think such things would be necessary near an experimental aircraft facility.
Then again it's been a while since I was up to speed on the latest. I used to be a huge military jet-nerd but I've sort of lost touch with that ever since the mid-90s. Procurement has pretty much ground to a halt though and with all the budget cuts I doubt I missed much the last 10 years. Not like the 80s and early 90s when there was something new every month it seemed like.
...into the light of a dark black night.
