We stopped by to take some pictures near the village for fun and continued our way to Nellis.
Tonopah, as the most of you know, is famous for its secret airbase in the middle of the desert and was once home of the F-117 project during its real dark days and of course the Constant Peg program (Migs). Tonopah lays also in the same desert as Groomlake, also known as Area-51. Some believe (not me!!) that this is the place where the Americans operate flying saucers and where they keep Aliens captive.
Here it comes.... After I came home last year form a great trip i found out that I lost my Tonopah pics. To bad but life goes on. But earlier this week I found that CF card again and imported them into Lightroom and found THIS!
Left above the Tonopah sign you see something that looks like a UFO. This is not shoped and its just a converted RAW image that shows the very same object.
Do you know what it is? Is it a reflection like a glare? Fact is that it does appear on two of 15 pic that I shot that night. It was a bright night as well, so its not an aeroplane in a cloud.
Fact is that it is FUN to see it at that place
