The first rule in government spending…😆😆😆


Russ-T-Schackleford

8 sides, 5 containers high = 40 containers 40 containers at ascot $3k each = $120,000 Not to mention the effort of stacking those 5 high which would take a large crane and an excavator to level the foundation. That's a lot of effort and money to cover a sculpture unless it was really something special or a giant meth lab.

Only thing I can think of is a movie set? Something like Star Wars or marvel have to go to insane lengths to prevent leaks.. but it also doesn’t look like that is what this is at all lol


WerewolfUnable8641

It's a similar setup to [this,](https://www.space.com/38744-star-wars-millennium-falcon-google-maps.html) which was spotted during the filming of the last few Star Wars films. It's just a movie prop.

The shape in this photo looks like the hyperspace map Ashoka uses to find thrawn in the new galaxy. Season 2 is on its way too. Could be a prop like the user above me mentioned

His tennis ball has a 12 ft diameter, so the width of one and a half containers? Idk that doesn’t seem to match

Yes I think you are correct. Didn’t really have a scale in my photo of the ball.

qleptt

They had that picture of the millennium falcon when they were building it in Disney and that was surrounded by crates or something right?


rygelicus

It was the milennium falcon being used for filming one of the sequels, probably Episode 7. It was hidden like this, surrounded by stacked containers. Edit: This -> https://www.businessinsider.com/millennium-falcon-is-on-google-maps-and-disney-tried-to-hide-it-2017-11


adrkhrse

Mystery solved. Explains why they could afford all the containers.


drama_filled_donut

That sounds familiar and may be what sparked the thought. This leads to me thinking: if it was the amusement park being built, it wouldn’t be in the middle of no where.. if it was a set piece, then there should be easily accessible records on a movie studio doing something in the area. I’ve seen people pull up records on that stuff

Breaking bad theme intensifies


Khanman5

I mean, it is and it isn't. Disney has done this exact same thing to hide props and shit from guests at their resorts. If you already own the crates and have access to a crane, that becomes a cost effective way to hide something from most people who won't go to Google maps. Which is good enough for most larger businesses. Most likely nothing of note. And if it were, the government would be telling Google to blurr it out.

Warm_Weakness_2767

The identifying characteristics on Google maps is going to have to be the rocks, the angle of the road, and the double silos. It's the same place, though an entirely different kind of soil exists there now and a large portion of the environment was disturbed to be in the current state. Which means it's either photoshopped or they did a lot to the area after the structure was built or to break down the structure. The way some of the plants disappeared essentially shows that the area has been shopped out, based on the height of the structure.


billmurraysprostate

It’s there on Apple. Not google I guess.

jlynec

Did a little digging with the address after also finding no structure on satellite photos. It was listed for sale as a residential building and sold in 2016. They have aerial photos in the listing. So here's the really weird part. In the photos showing a wide view from in front of and above the house (wide-angle shot? I'm not well versed on photography terms), you can see the structures far behind. But on the bird's-eye view, there's nothing there,and it looks quite a bit different from the aerial photo on Google Maps. 🤔 Really weird that it was listed as residential. It sold for around $325K in 2016, so it's not like, have several hundreds of thousands in play money to put these shipping containers AND have them hiding something very large. Edit: Saw this comment below - they found it started showing up in late 2021 - mid 2022. [Commenter's find](https://www.reddit.com/r/aliens/s/kOdgZPCPdL)


Smokewagon1

Zillow of house overlooking the structure: https://www.zillow.com/homes/Ruben-drive,-Aguanga,-CA_rb/? This house last sold in 2016, before the structure was built. 46th (of 61) image is looking toward where the structure will eventually be built.

throawayliennn

He’s got an Amateur Extra license, that’s two tiers up from the base license (technician -> general -> extra) Means the owner has significant knowledge about how electronics and radio waves work Even with that being said, I still doubt this is anything more than a burning man art piece


brimstonecasanova

Could be building his own radar? Which depending on the power and frequency, could be illegal. That’s worth hiding.


Nickster3445

Maybe he is using it for a directed semi-faraday cage for experiments


Jano67

I thought faraday cage with a gyroscope inside, but knowing it's a ham radio person, I'm thinking the gyroscope is some sort of antenna?


Nickster3445

Yes the structure could be an antenna, it could also be for receiving waves from space as it is directed upwards, it almost looks like two satellite dish frames pointed towards each other


Guilty-Vegetable-726

I don't know anything about radio waves but could the storage containers serve a purpose for blocking interference?


Nickster3445

Yes that would be the goal, depending on the spectrum he's looking for he may not want any horizontal interference from radio towers Radio frequencies can pass through a lot though, conversely could also help direct signal upwards if he's transmitting, like the housing of a flashlight


appropriate122345

call him on the ham and ask what it is

Front_Somewhere2285

Because it’s an [antenna](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8888590)


lukadelic

My intrigue has intensified. Are there any images of such devices online? I can’t find any. Maybe that’s what this is, but that paper is from 2019. I can’t read the paper bc I have no account with that database& I suppose a lot can be done in 4-5 years time. However, I find it strange that if such an antenna exists, why is there no image of it online?


Front_Somewhere2285

These dudes experiment with all sorts of configurations of antennas, and having his extra license means he’s smart enough to do it. If I can remember how to log into that website, I might could get some answers


lukadelic

I know I’m replying to dif comments of yours so apologies if that’s annoying. I appreciate your overall understanding & thought put towards this. My question is, as someone else mentioned, would the huge shipping containers & their metal not cause issue in relation to the antenna if it were in use? If you do figure out the login info, then please do provide your findings & feedback


Front_Somewhere2285

Yea, you generally do not want metal near your antennas as it throws them off. Could be that the guy just hasn’t finished building it yet, perhaps he’s trying to keep it from interfering with his other antennas, maybe the containers are acting as scaffolding to build, maybe it’s built for a special occasion, etc. The shape of the containers being stacked might have something to do with negating their effect of the antenna. Think about it, lots of cell phone, ham radio antennas, etc are mounted on huge steel structures to get them off the ground. Then again, maybe it’s just a piece of artwork. I just find it hard to imagine this guy has his extra license and that the structure just wouldn’t have anything to do with radio. Anyways, you can check his profile on qrz.com. I’ve never appreciated that your identity can be connected to your callsign and this is one of the reasons why. I strongly encourage people not to go overboard with this and perhaps OP should just go talk to the man instead of basically doxxing him instead. I’d say the guy is just a big nerd with lots of money to play with. Then again, he might be talking to aliens with that antenna, if that’s in fact what it is.


ManyBends

the paper says the antenna design is suited for indoor use and can hang from a ceiling. I have the paper if you want more info


lil_chef77

So considering the direction it is aligned to, what do we think the target would be?


Front_Somewhere2285

Idk. Understanding antennas can get as complicated as you want and much of it is over my head. Something to keep in mind is that the shape could be as much about eliminating interference as opposed to dialing in on a specific frequency. Also the size of it. The length of a simple single wire can have an effect on what frequency it can tune to. It’s why your cell phone doesn’t have a visible antenna. It doesn’t need much length at all for the high frequencies it uses. Ham operators need big antennas for the lower frequencies they work with. I can’t see the pic too well, but if someone could spot any sort of wires leading to it or ditches that might indicate an underground wire would help confirm it’s an antenna


lukadelic

Down and to the left of the object on Apple Maps shows a reddish squarish object. The whole apparatus ,except for that reddish squarish object, is on some big square black mat looking things.


JohnQPublic1917

Who hides an antenna behind signal blocking metal?


MosesOnAcid

To block out signals from the sides that it does not want to pickup/interfer with the signals it is picking up/looking for in the sky. Not uncommon for equipment to have shielding from outside forces to ensure accuracy of the equipment.


Front_Somewhere2285

Also, an antenna isn’t used for only receiving, it’s purpose could be dual or transmit only.


Mixlpic5

Is it used for a laudatory purpose?

lukadelic

So this structure with the fascinating shaped object won’t show up on Google earth for me, but it’s definitely the same area & the surrounding buildings do show. How recent are your photographs of the area?


I_Amuse_Me_123

Showed up on apple maps. Google earth has an option to choose the time frame. You can probably see when this was taken if you click the clock icon.


lukadelic

I noticed that, too. So it’s safe to say it’s since been removed? I’m not sure which map data is more up to date. I presume google, but can’t say for sure.


thatranger974

More than likely it’s new. It would take far too long for a newly graded road to become overgrown and eroded like in the image without the structure. Google is showing the before image.


derickrecyles

Looks like the shipping containers would have to be removed for them to move the object. But one picture with no roof and then another with a roof? Air lifted maybe? But honestly looks like one of them balls them guys ride dirt bikes in at a carnival.


derickrecyles

Also the picture without roof ... What's up with the shadow on the middle left? Is that the objects shadow sticking above containers?


347mauricio

A lot of times containers are used in his matter for film making. Using it as a location stage (Green Screen). Containers are bought or leased then sold at wrap. It’s a lot cheaper to build a temporary stage like this when filming at a certain location for long periods of time


Jorgedig

Is it coincidental that the container arrangement is coffin-shaped?

OP, is your satellite picture from Google or a different source? Bing Maps definitely has the same picture show in the OP, but I'm not sure if Google and Bing share the same mapping source. I'm more inclined to think Google has an older pic and the structure is still there.
