I think we can be sure that it is, indeed, a CG
But the size of the "thing" is interesting, as it is clearly a scaled down aircraft compared to the runway center line behind it. Or maybe some kind of validator.
 
It has a similar planform (minus the canted vertical stabilizers) to the Lockheed NGAD. If not a CGI created model, then possibly a 3/4 scale demonstrator, similar to a HAVE BLUE. The centerline is 18 inches for a non-precision runway and 36 inches for a precision runway for scale. Area 51 has precision runway markings (if that's where it is supposed to be filmed) for Runway 32R. Based on the scale of the stripe my calculation is a wingspan of 37 feet or slightly larger than an F-16.
