It’s been there for a long long time, they just switched it over to space force a couple years ago.

That said, there’s always been strange things going on around there.

I’m curious to see if you could elaborate on what you’ve seen?

Odd helicopters, what to my untrained eye looked like fighter jets. It's probably all normal?

I think in the last 12 months their was the fatal shooting of someone attempting to break into the facility too.

Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey

>The Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey is an American multi-mission, tiltrotor military aircraft with both vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) and short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities. It is designed to combine the functionality of a conventional helicopter with the long-range, high-speed cruise performance of a turboprop aircraft. In 1980, the failure of Operation Eagle Claw (during the Iran hostage crisis) underscored that there were military roles for which neither conventional helicopters nor fixed-wing transport aircraft were well-suited.
