Talk about your morning weird. Some people studying Google Earth forsome reason managed to run across some very weird patterns in the Chinese desert that have a bunch of folks stumped. The patterns look like stripes that were etched or dug over the top of the landscape in thearea. Some of the lines appear to be made from a silver/white material.
Consideringthese can clearly be seenfrom orbit the formationsare raising some eyebrows with geeks trying to figure out what exactly they arefor. Are these some sort of alignmentor targeting grids for space weaponsor what? In one of the photos, you can clearly see a grid of structures with three of them either destroyed orpartially standing as ifthey were for target practice.
The strangest one is the intersecting grids lines; the structure covers 18 miles of space. The other pattern that looks like some sort of targeting gridis set up with concentricrings of what appear to bestructures with straightspokes radiating out fromthe center. There areaircraft placed in the center of this circle. I have no idea what it is, but it reminds me of how the militarywould test the blast radius of some sort of bomb to see what thedamage is like further out from the point of impact. What do you think? Is thisa military testing ground or theChinese equivalent of crop circles?
NOTE: Some interesting points of visual comparison follow below:
Jasper Johns, Between The Clock and The Bed, 1982-3.
