Well done! It might ‘just’ be the F117’s operating out of there but the last time they were caught in a satellite photo they appeared darker and with slightly different shape - but that might very well be atmospheric circumstances. Compare them yourself - the second picture is confirmed to be F117’s. It’s impossible to say with any certainty because of the low resolution, but with all the news surrounding the NGAD these past few weeks I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a photo shoot for the NGAD with 2 prototype airframes build for each of the three contenders. To me it looks like there are couples of of three different aircraft with slight shape and colour variations. Based on the news it looks like the NGAD requirements have changed and the program as it is likely has been scrapped. That would probably mean that none of these aircraft made the cut so perhaps a farewell party before they’re being scrapped and buried or prepared for long term storage for eventual declassification. Take this with a with a grain of salt as I’m being very speculative - as I said, the resolution is too low to say anything for certain.
