2013 - Publication of US Secret Bases Across The World

 The US army has many bases around the world, but the locations of some of these bases are classified for national security reasons.  There's a number of famous ones that almost everyone has heard of -- Area 51, Dugway, Kirtland, Cheyenne Mountain, Dulce...

Inspired by a book about "blank spots on the map" (which is where these bases are hiding), Josh Begley decided to look up those areas on Google Earth (and satellite data) and published a book and website about those mysterious military bases.

I'm not into this kind of thing, but I have to admit that I was surprised that there are so darn many of them!

Here's the website:  http://empire.is/

The Google Earth overlay doesn't work but you can scroll down to look at the bases and their names.

Oh...and Popular Mechanics has a neat article on the strangest military bases: https://www.popularmechanics.com/technol...s-gallery/

Very cool!

I’m definitely going to look into this!

I’ve been out in the bush working and clearly haven’t had enough mental stimulation to take in some of the new posts. Thanks for sharing this!
