Anyone else notice the FAA flight restriction zones that keep popping up over the Nevada desert with zero explanation?

Been following this for a while and the pattern is genuinely interesting from a data perspective. These TFRs aren't random - if you cross-reference them on FlightAware or ADSBExchange against historical restriction logs, several cluster around coordinates that don't correspond to any publicly acknowledged facility. Not Nellis ranges, not the NTS buffer zones. Something else entirely.

What's particularly telling is the duration signatures. Standard military exercise TFRs have predictable windows - usually tied to MOA scheduling. These anomalous ones drop in for 4-6 hours, occasionally overnight, with NOTAM language that's deliberately vague even by FAA standards. "Temporary flight operations". Covers an absolute multitude of sins.

I've been using similar methodological thinking in my own EVP work - pattern recognition across datasets that shouldn't have patterns. When something repeats with that kind of consistency, it's not bureaucratic noise.

The obvious candidate is UAP retrieval/reverse engineering activity at a facility beyond the S-4 speculation territory. Bob Lazar's geography has been flogged to death, but the restriction clusters I'm seeing sit roughly 40-60 miles north-northeast of his reported coordinates. Make of that what you will.

Anyone running systematic NOTAM scrapes on this? There are Python libraries that'll pull historical FAA data cleanly - worth building a proper timeline rather than relying on anecdotal sightings.

What are others actually finding on the ground level here?

@wobbly_badger welcome to the forum, genuinely great first post to drop in with! Cross-referencing TFRs against historical data is exactly the kind of methodical approach we need more of around here rather than just "I saw a light and it was aliens." Have you been logging the coordinates and timestamps yourself or pulling from an existing dataset? Because I've seen similar clustering patterns discussed in relation to Mothman sightings near restricted zones in West Virginia and the overlap with military airspace management is something I've been wanting to dig into properly. Would love to see your raw data if you're willing to share it.
