Been following this one closely. There were at least three separate TFRs (temporary flight restrictions) over the Reveille Range area that didn't show up on the usual NOTAM trackers until hours after they'd already been activated. That's not normal procedure at all.
What gets me is the timing. Two of them fell on dates that lined up with unusual seismic readings logged by a monitoring station near Tonopah. Probably nothing, probably unrelated, but when you see these things cluster together it does make you wonder what's going on out there.
The official line is always "military exercise" and fair enough, that covers a multitude of sins in Nevada. But the restricted zones were shaped oddly - not the standard rectangular blocks you get with routine training corridors.
Anyone got access to flight tracker archives from that period? Would love to know if any civilian aircraft were actually redirected. That would tell us how seriously they were enforcing it on the ground rather than just on paper. There's usually someone on here with better resources than me for digging into that sort of thing.
