Did anyone else notice the FAA flight restrictions that popped up over Dugway last month?

Caught this one actually. The restriction went up with almost no notice and lasted about 72 hours if I remember right. What struck me was the altitude ceiling - it was unusually high for a standard military exercise notice, way above what you'd normally see for ground-based testing activity.

Dugway has been quietly expanding its operations since at least 2019 based on satellite imagery comparisons a few people on here have posted. The TFR timing matched up with some anomalous radar returns that were logged by a couple of civilian flight trackers in Utah that same weekend, which I dont think is a coincidence.

Anyone got the raw NOTAM data saved? Worth cross-referencing with any visual reports from the surrounding area. There were a few posts on a Utah outdoors forum mentioning odd lights near Skull Valley around the same dates, though I havent been able to verify those properly yet.
