prompted by cha0tic, here’s the first item off my Post-It.<\/em><\/p>\n

I was low-altitude cruising over the Nevada desert the other evening.<\/p>\n

Was\u00c2\u00a0looking for Steve Fossett (yeah I know, bit of a strange thing to do\u00c2\u00a0but I’ll fill in the blanks later) when a peculiar design caught my eye.<\/p>\n

At a little over 1,700 ASL at\u00c2\u00a037\u00c2\u00b040’2.58″N 116\u00c2\u00b0 1’28.58″W is a thing.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I’m not naive enough to believe I’m the person who discovered it first. I also don’t believe it can be anything but man-made.<\/p>\n

But what gives?<\/p>\n

Huh?<\/p>\n

What is it?<\/p>\n

Who put it there?<\/p>\n

And why?<\/p>\n

OK, Steve Fossett.<\/p>\n

You can volunteer to do satellite scans to look for Steve Fossett, and the other evening I did this thing too.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/mturk.com<\/a> if you’re interested.<\/p>\n

But because I’ve got a mind that a true conspiracy theorist would be proud of I realised\u00c2\u00a0two things:<\/p>\n

a. that the place where Steve Fossett set off from is close to a very dodgy area of Nevada secrecy and<\/p>\n

b. that certain bits of the US (military and covert security services) have a history of flying all kinds of stuff over Nevada (amongst other places) and accidentally failing to file\u00c2\u00a0flight plans first.<\/p>\n

So I began my search on a straight line drawn between Mr Fossett’s point of take off and some very heavy stuff in a certain part of the Nevada desert and found this thing:<\/p>\n

Any views?<\/p>\n
