What Did Google Earth Spot In the Chinese Desert?
New submitter snooz_crash writes "An Ex-CIA analyst requests your assistance in IDing a base that he has been observing for quite a while. The base has been in existence for several years, but its shape and location do not lead to an immediate answer to the riddle of 'what the heck is it?'"
Judging by the shadow, it's pretty high up and probably serves the most distinct purpose?
If it's not a question, don't use a question mark.
It almost looks like that might be a prison yard in the middle with a fence in the back?
If it's not a question, don't use a question mark.
If you're going to make a building that large and use it for office space, why make that shape? Why not just a rectangular or square building?
Yes, those are questions.
The other sites might be hangars?
No, that is not a question.
The electricity and/or ore would be for nearby Kashgar, Xinjiang?
Guesses are not questions.
This went up fast but you might have to give it another year or two before it starts to take shape?
Even with an observation attached, guesses are still not questions.
If it's not a question, don't use a question mark.
Hey, look, buddy. I'm just the only one here brave enough to ask questions, okay? There's nothing wrong with asking questions, is there? Is it illegal? I'm just asking questions. I'm just wondering if maybe this is the site for China's deathray that Obama gave them the plans for under Jimmy Carter's guidance. I'm just asking questions. I'm not making any statements. You can't get mad at me for that. Is this what unions want? China to be free to build whatever they please in the desert? Again, I'm just asking questions. I mean, if I was going to build a soylent green plant, where do you think I'd do it? I'm just asking questions here. I'm not saying that China is turning its overpopulation and starvation problems into a combined solution. But what do you think? I'm just asking questions.
My work here is dung.
