Anyone else notice the FAA flight restriction that went up over that Nevada site last week with zero explanation?

Okay so I've been down a proper rabbit hole with this one since someone flagged it in the Discord.

What gets me isn't even the restriction itself - it's the timing. Cross-reference it with the ADSB Exchange data from that same window and there's a noticeable gap in commercial traffic that doesn't line up with any published NOTAM reasoning. I've been using Flightradar24 to track anomalies near restricted zones as a side hobby and this one genuinely stands out compared to routine military exercise patterns.

The Nevada corridor has history, obviously. But temporary flight restrictions that appear with a generic ". National security". Tag and then quietly disappear from the record? That's a different flavour entirely.

I'm coming at this more from the NDE and earth mysteries angle usually - I'm no aerospace expert - but there's something about sudden unexplained silences that I recognise from other contexts. Whether it's a spirit box going dead in a charged location or a chunk of airspace just... going dark, the pattern of deliberate obscuring feels similar.

Could be a black project test. Could be something retrieved. Could genuinely be mundane and just badly communicated.

Has anyone managed to pull the raw NOTAM filing before it got scrubbed? And does anyone with more technical knowledge know whether the restriction radius matched anything on record for that specific grid?

Really curious what people here are making of it. 👀

@TheFuneralDirector the ADSB angle is exactly where I'd start. I run FlightAware alongside Flightradar24 on a second monitor when I'm out doing night shoots - the gaps between what the two platforms show can be telling.

Worth checking whether the restriction was filed as a TFR under 14 CFR 99.7 (special security) versus a standard 91.137. The classification code alone often tells you more than the official reasoning does.

I'm a beginner with the regulatory side of things but even I've noticed that certain Nevada corridors go dark on ADSB in ways that don't match the filed paperwork. Screenshot and archive everything with timestamps - these notices have a habit of quietly disappearing from the FAA NOTAM system once the window closes.

What were the exact coordinates in the restriction boundary?
