Ah interesting point there which brings me to someone posted in Sexret Projects forum about the SR-72 demonstrator sighting at Palmdale. They said Plant 42 is not as isolated as believed due to ongoing urban devlopments and mile or so from main highways. Subsequently things cannot be flown under wraps there for long without being observed by the general public.
