This last one?
It doesnt look like theres much there.
Am i missing something?
I am a man, so sometimes i have to be held by the hand and walked into it...
What i see is a few craters on the side of the road, and a "x" that was "erased" in the middle? or maybe it was hit dead center, and was filled back in.
This is kinda like a Rorscach test for the conspiracy-minded, no?
There, i stuck my tounge back out at you!

The one symbol to the top of that "swastika" thing, looks like a battleship or destroyer as viewed top down. And that square with the 6 circles to the right of the swastika is perhaps a building/factory viewed top down.

Im guessing maybe these were used to simulate the actual target size of a real battleship/factory at a certain altitude. These could be used train pilots in accurately dropping their ordnance during ww2 or Vietnam; or perhaps to quickly identify shapes like that during an actual engagement.

Just a theory, but it is a little weird....

home.comcast.net... lets try this....
Again!
Nothing personal, i promise....

I got to this post late. If anyone reads David Hatcher Childress, in his Lost Cities.. series, there are references to stone fences built in the middle of the syrian desert between Iraq and Jordan, well actually they are located in east Jordan, and for a long time people scratched their heads what they could be. There was a whole spectrum of opinions. Eventually everyone settled on them being ancient tools for hunters. They would chase game on horseback and chase them into the stone fenced area. The stone fences were situated in such a way that they had a cross shape, so the game could be herded in from any angle and it would "hook" the game into a smaller area where they could not escape, thus giving the hunters the needed edge to take down the game.

When I first saw what people are calling the swastika, my first thought was this is a cattle herding tool. This part of New Mexico is cowboy country. There are more actual cowboys in this part of New Mexico than there are in Texas. So, this could be fencing that was established a long time ago when the historic yearly cattle drives occured from Mexico to Canada and back.

This swastika is not a ditch, its a raised wall. Look at the topology map. It will confirm what I'm saying.

I don't think the swastika is anything supernatural or spooky. don't have any opnions about the other objects.

home.comcast.net... Here, try this link.
Itll tell you what they are.
We have moved past that and are now discussing the motivation, and artistic views of the mechanics of these structures, for lack of better terms.
Or maybe, what they were thinkin when they made em, would work too.

Hey archangelbot
This may be a a simulated Surface to Air Missile (SAM) site. Fighter pilots use that as a target to bomb. I'm open to other opinions??

oops I load a picture of an undergrounb bom sire in a sec.

Underground bomb test site in Nevada




It looks like a flat cake.

Are you reading your posts? You've mentioned "here, try this link" and no link is there.

Oh boy, i look like an idiot! I copied and pasted, and it aint there. let me try again.
Sorry!
And its a link to all the active and inactive bombing ranges, i forget who originally posted them.
Sorry girls and guys!!!

Whiteone posted the link back on page four.

ATS trims down links over a certain length.

Ok, i hope this one works.
Wonderworld, this pic looks a bit more closer to the civilized world.
If we can call it that?
This is a s.a.m. site you were talking about?
Is it where they are just tested, or are they launched there too?
I see something resembling an area of "traffic", where the scrub-brush and ground is worn, in the upper right?

Thanks Rune.
Man, i feel like a tool.

Don't worry about it, if I'd have thought for a sec, I'd have figured you'd be reposting the link.

Hey friend,
I think you need to firtst upload you image to the member media center first then copy the url in to the tab. This is a fun thread. Good concepts!

reply to post by wonderworld


Yeah, i figured out how i messed up.
Sorry for droppin the ball here.
So this new one is a s.a.m. site, rite?

If you are talking about the flat cake looking pic. No that is an Underground atomic bomb test site. The real thing. Not a Sam site. I had a question for you but cant find my u2u after deleting my messages.

Here are some jets on the Nellis airfield . If you look on google earth you can follow the road and airfield to the base of a mountain. It's veiled over but this is where they hit and attack th opening of the mountain.

Cripes, it only put half on the picure on there, usually you can click on it to make it larger. I'll try a different method.
