Interesting images, but how do we not know it's not a prop? I've seen the Batmobile on a flatbed in Arizona. I also saw a screen used BTTF Delorean on a flatbed in Georgia. Or what if it's part of a sign, LV is known for having some fancy signs.
I just find it hard to believe, that the government (whom I believe know more then they let on) would transport something like that in broad daylight in such a manner. But then again, they may expect people to think what I wrote above, that it's just a prop or something.

I used to work for an event company and we did all the new model car shows. The cars were covered just like this sometimes we would have to put foam cut-outs under to change the shape of these cars. I have no idea what this is I do not even know of anything transported in that manner (on tilt)

Just a quick observation/question: does the fact that whatever this object is happens to be tilted so severely indicate a disproportionate weight? In the line of wishful thinking, perhaps because the propulsion system required such a specialized transport? If you think about it, this object truly does need something unique in transportation because I don't remember ever seeing such a tilting mechanism on a truck before. Unfortunately, this also points to a prepared moving of the item, or are these tilting things readily available? At that angle, without a redistribution of weighting, the darn thing could tip over at the first turn.
Of course it could be any terrestrial display or prop etc, but as long as we're all hoping.....?

You would think a satellite dish can be dismantled, even Ikea furniture has the technology required to do so.
My guess is that it is an object that needs to be whole during transport, maybe it was never meant to require transport in the first place. Satellite dish doesn't quite fit that description as they are assembled in sections.

A previous poster noted there had been threads recently about something falling in that region, and a blockade of sorts from the Army in Vegas... Anyone has any follow up on that? Are these events related? Thanks.

Having served for 20 years in the military with a secret clearance and my specialty included transporting classified material on public highways,I can assure you this is not a classified object.
It was being hauled in broad daylight for one.
