Developer Unearths Secret U.S. Military Bases

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Mashable

If you look closely enough on Google or Bing Maps, some places are blanked out, hidden from public view. Many of those places disguise secret or sensitive American military facilities.

The United States military has a foothold in every corner of the world, with military bases on every continent. It’s not even clear how many there are out there. The Pentagon says there are around 5,000 in total, and 598 in foreign countries, but those numbers are disputed by the media.

But how do these facilities look from above? To answer that question, you first need to locate the bases. Which, as it turns out, is relatively easy.

That’s what Josh Begley, a data artist, found out when he embarked on a project to map all known U.S. military bases around the world, collect satellite pictures of them using Google Maps and Bing Maps, and display them all online.

The project, which he warns is ongoing, was inspired by Trevor Paglen’s book “Blank Spots on the Map” which goes inside the world of secret military bases that are sometimes censored on maps.

“I wanted to apply this to a digital landscape,” Begley told Mashable. “What are the actual blind spots of Google Maps or Bing Maps? Which installations are secret and which can be viewed on the open Internet?”

Begley has found the coordinates for 650 bases, and published pictures for 644 of them — although a few are blacked out, not displayed, or blurred.

      http://WWW.NEVEROPENEDEYES.COM MENTIONS REASONS FOR THIS

      And yes as a tax payer you get to pick up the bill but we cannot tell you how much it is because that’s a “national security risk” so go back to your field and chew some more grass.

      The image provided looks to be the H.A.A.R.P. facility in Australia

      Love the Hexagon design. More than just a pretty polygon.

        Correct.

        Also note the ‘seal of Solomon’. More than just an occult symbol.

        Yes it is in Australia’s north west corner right on a peninsula facing the ocean, but I don’t believe it is specifically HAARP, but a HAARP like, HIPAS system. The best I can measure the towers is that they are about 400 ft. tall and may be connected to the central 500′ tower by antennas.

      Why would the U.S. want to reveal these military bases to the world? Your post lacks intelligence and rational.

    • FaSolLa

      Why would the U.S. want to make these bases available to the world and to our adversaries?

    • le chat
