Title: Do radio/satellite dishes get buried?
Post by: Vulcan on August 11, 2006, 12:54:23 AM: Was messin around on google earth today and found this. Its a pic of the waihopai spybase in NZ, part of the US echelon network (probably one of the worst kept secrets in NZ).

The spybase is circled in red, notice the 3 big circles to the left. The bigger ones are almost 2km in diameter, I'm pretty sure they're not irrigation systems either:
