It's not a water tower. The shadow it's casting isn't leading to any base. It's clearly something floating. I stand by weather balloon.
That's probably a very reasonable explanation, strangely enough.
yes, possibly but, they let weather ballons fly that low around area 51?
Area 51 is an airbase, so yes. Guys, it's a really low res image of something MOVING, it could be a low-altitude airplane or even a helicopter.
