egyptian pyrimids are five sided, not four sided.

It's a bit southwest of the main Area 51 compound.
That's really freaky.

Yes without looking at the base an egyptian pyrimid has 4 sides and this one has three, but i was assuming we all knew what 3d was. Oh well
What we might be seeing in the new satellite photos is an aircraft stand used for measuring stealth effectiveness. According a few military personnel, these kinds of pyramids aren’t uncommon to see on government bases that test secret equipment. See that hole in the top of the structure?
Apparently, a long pole rises out of it, to which different models of aircraft are attached and their radar cross sections tested.
The military needs a way to test changes to airframes to see how the changes affects radar signatures.
Every time they add a radar dome or an antenna or some other whatnot to an airframe it changes the radar signature.
The effect of the change needs to be measured and tweaked to produce the minimum radar reflection.
