Just a guess but it looks like some sort of target practice area. It looks very primitive with a lot of earthenworks everywhere. The aircraft looks like an older design. There are no noticeable marks on the ground to indicate aircraft have landed there (although, supposedly the 'aircraft' there don't "land" conventially). And there are a LOT of bomb craters very nearby but nowhere else in the surrounding area.
I agree. I almost would guess that the jet there is an old F-84 from the wing sweep, but there's not really enough detail for any kind of confirmation. Groom Lake is known for being a test and practice facility for captured enemy aircraft like MiGs and so forth, too.
