I knew I should have saved a copy of that map for later comparison.

Oh well....

Well, it did seem to point to a 4.0 at the NE end near Battle Mountain!
Probably just something we saw, rather than a pointer!

Often times it's just noise from other quakes around the world. The software gets confused.

But decades ago there was the rumors of the Air Force flying a super secret supersonic aircraft, dubbed Aurora. People would routinely hear sonic boom type sounds at specific date/times and even see odd looking contrails.

A seismologist apparently was able to track the sonic signature over multiple seismographs and track the progress of the flight, right towards Nevada. I don't recall if it was specifically to the infamous Area51/Groom Lake which is just north of Las Vegas.

That line of quakes was towards northern/mid Nevada. However, there is the Tonopah Test Range further north of Area51/Groom... although not quite as far north as this line of quakes. However, that line of quakes seems a regular recurring feature.

See where my conjecturing is going?

But I've just never followed up on my WAG.
