Deep in the Mojave desert, there’s
some sort of aircraft which looks as if it crashed and was left
to rot. So how did it come to be here?

There’s a military airfield to the east,
Camp Wilson, so it’s possible the aircraft came from there -
but why would they just leave it in the middle of the desert?

Of interest is that this location is very close to (that famed
magnet of extra-terrestrial activity) Giant
Rock. There’s even more airstrips just south east of the crash
site at
Outlying Field Seagle, where two of the strips are abandoned
but http://www.airfields-freeman.com/CA/Airfields_CA_SanBernardino_SE.htm#seagle
apparently the third is still in operation. Most interestingly,
the Xs at each end of the runway indicates that no-one should try
to land here, as it’s used exclusively by unmanned
aircraft…
