Mysterious triangle in Texas countryside

Mysterious triangle appears in Texas countryside

Somewhen in the past month a mysterious triangle seems to have appeared in the Texas countryside. It was discovered recently by a local pilot flying in the area. We obtained the above satellite image from NASA, having sent them a FOIA request after they initially refused to send us anything. It is unclear what exactly this structure in the image is. We were unable to locate anything on the ground, and our investigation has so far been inconclusive.

A local runner calling himself "John" claims to have seen lights hovering in the sky in the area where the triangle was later discovered. While extraterrestrial origins are of course highly unlikely, they cannot be ruled out completely. Others claim to have heard "brilliant, great, fantastic" engine noises "very unlike a jet engine", which may point toward military activity, possibly a secret new Air Force weapon system.

The US Air Force has declined to comment on the specific case, but stated that it has several bases in the vicinity and has "supported various activities" in the area. It should be noted that one of those bases, Goodfellow Air Force Base in San Angelo, TX, includes a cryptology and intelligence unit, opening up the possibility of some kind of covert intelligence operation.

The Air Force has recently been experimenting with airships for fast shipping and surveillance missions, and we suspect the satellite image may in fact be showing a new kind of high-altitude airship. We obtained files describing a recently-declassified US Air Force project codenamed "Ato" that showed designs similar in shape.

A reader suggested that this could be some kind of DHS surveillance project as well. With DHS jurisdiction now extending well beyond the borders and into the interior of the nation, this is not unthinkable, but any evidence so far is scarce. Our FOIA request to DHS was answered in person by a team of DHS employees who came to our offices to ensure the absence of any terrorist activity in the building as well as on our persons. Unfortunately, further investigation on the ground is currently suspended while our reporter is enjoying a well-deserved vacation in Egypt.

If you have any information, or an alternative plausible explanation, please write in the comments below.

another thing, if I could track a satellite, and point a "Uber-focused projector" on it's camera, what would happen? could I "Fake" a satellite image?

Note that I didn't say how hard they looked when they didn't find anything on the ground . In fact, the image is a cropped but otherwise unedited Google Maps screenshot. But of what?

Well, let me hint that the mysterious triangle is not a tornado, although it is situated on the outskirts of Tornado Alley...
