That's quite far from Area 51, friend...

What's more interesting is the Sabreliner also in the shot, which appears to be covered in either green suede leather or green mold. I think it is still the only four engine corporate jet (rather than airliner conversion) ever to fly. What's it doing at Edwards? Possible answer: chillin'.

That's the original UFO they discovered back in the '60s out for its annual wash and polish.

I believe that you are not actually looking at Area 51 but rather Edwards AFB on maps. I see the same planes in the same configuration if I zoom in on Edwards in my map app. Area 51 is in Nevada while Edwards is in California

It's a Scaled Composites Model 133 or ATTT.
