N289MT made an appearance over the Nellis ranges on 3/27/2007.  This map shows the entry to the range. The route to the left is the entry to the range. The route to the right is the exit from the range. It is unlikely this plane landed at Groom Lake, but probably entered the Tolicha Peak Electronic Combat Range, though a flight to the Tonopah Test Range isn't out of the question. Tolicha Peak is at the top of the map towards the left.

Note the sudden turn in the return route.  If you project a line from point 745 to point 746, i.e. the first leg of this charted route, then extend this line, it will cross the location shown below:
