A Google Maps satellite has spotted a series of bizarre structures during a sweep of the Gobi desert in China.

The internet is buzzing with theories about what their purpose is, with suggestions ranging from giant QR readers to practise targets for military satellites.

To add to the intrigue, they are located on the borders of Gansu province and Xinjiang in northwestern China - an area that the superpower uses to build military, space and nuclear equipment.

A former China-desk Army intelligence analyst and co-author of a new book about Chinese-American relations, told HUMAN EVENTS November 15 that the strange giant white lines drawn in western China's Gobi Desert were most likely practice targets for Chinese space weapons.

Usually when we think of space weaponry, we are talking about horizontal targeting by satellites firing on other satellites—to take your eyes out, said William C. Triplett II.

Not too hard to figure out. China has been busy gathering, collating and gearing up for missile technology for the past 15 or so years. Not only are they perfecting missile capability, they're developing missile capability with different payloads.

So, if they're doing experiments with missiles, missile motors, payloads and payload effects on short, medium and long range targets, obviously all these variables come into play when trying to accurately predict where and when target opportunities present themselves.

Lastly is delivery. In order to accurately determine delivery systems, delivery payloads and trajectories, one would have to unite physical and data compilation. Then convert all this to a data-missile delivery system.

Once all this takes place, a firing range would be nice to have! Voila! Just like white Sands, New Mexico, and Arizona's various missile testing ranges, et al. Similar, but different. Easy
