I would love to know if this was found other than randomly poking around and if so how it worked specifically. "out of place shapes in the middle of fields" might find out some other neat stuff too.

Looks like their home base is nearby. So maybe not too surprising? https://www.google.com/maps?ll=38.730306,-93.547864&z=12&t=h&q=38.730306,-93.547864&hl=de https://www.google.com/maps?ll=38.730306,-93.547864&z=12&t=h...

It's only ~25 miles from the one base in the US that hosts an active B2 wing. There's another on the ground there in Google Maps; https://www.google.com/maps/place/38%C2%B043'29.7%22N+93%C2%B033'37.0%22W/@38.7243803,-93.5612188,725m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m14!1m7!3m6!1s0x0:0xd87af7588b9c362e!2zMznCsDAxJzE4LjUiTiA5M8KwMzUnNDAuNSJX!3b1!8m2!3d39.0218056!4d-93.5945833!3m5!1s0x0:0xb9729eada81e2c56!7e2!8m2!3d38.7249294!4d-93.5602629 https://www.google.com/maps/place/38%C2%B043'29.7%22N+93%C2%...

  I don't think I realized how huge the B2 actually is.

    Google maps measures the wingspan at ~170 ft which is about 4-5 school buses.

The college town near the airbase made it pretty well known that the airforce base nearby has these B-2s when I took a campus tour years ago. Granted I like aerospace engineering as a software engineer so I grew up knowing about it ahead of time, and it's only an hour and a half drive away.
