Why Is China Building These Massive Structures In The Desert?


Why Is China Building These Gigantic Structures In the Middle of the Desert? -- Gizmodo

This is crazy. New photos have appeared in Google Maps showing unidentified titanic structures in the middle of the Chinese desert. The first one is an intricate network of what appears to be huge metallic stripes. Is this a military experiment?

Update 2: readers are finding even more weird stuff.

They seem to be wide lines drawn with some white material. Or maybe the dust have been dug by machinery.

It's located in Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Gansu, north of the Shule River, which crosses the Tibetan Plateau to the west into the Kumtag Desert. It covers an area approximately one mile long by more than 3,000 feet wide.

The tracks are perfectly executed, and they seem to be designed to be seen from orbit.

My Comment: This is bizarre .... but I checked it out on Google maps and it is there. So .... unless Google is playing a practical joke (which I doubt), the Chinese are definitely pursuing a very strange and expensive project. My gut tells me it is military .... but I do not have a clue on what that military application can be.

All these objects are very close to chinese nuclear testing ground Lop Nur. One of them looks like big antenna. Perhaps it's about emp weapon?

If I had to bet, I'd say some of them are TERCOM test ranges.
