[quote=NPR]Lewis, director of the East Asia Nonproliferation Program at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies based in Monterey, Calif., recently published his team's account of locating the buildings. He says that with time and a little training, any persistent person with an Internet connection could have done this.
"There are functions that we imagine require either secret information, or spying, or specialized skills. And our point is that really, in a lot of cases, you don't need those things," Lewis says.
This isn't exactly new, but today it's much easier with social media tools and cheap or even free satellite images within the reach of nonprofits, researchers and ordinary people.
To cite another example, Lewis points to the Brown Moses blog, the effort of a formerly unemployed man in Britain who became a leading expert on weapons in Syria, including chemical weapons. He relied heavily on YouTube videos, among other sources.
Lewis claims these developments are changing international relations.

"Historically, what we did was tell — so we could have an account of someone who saw something that happened: I can tell you about a building, I can tell you about a massacre. But what we have now is the ability to show," he says, pointing to availability of Google Earth or other cheap satellite images.
"Having this kind of information means that experts, but also citizens, can make informed opinions about things rather than just taking the word of [a government]."[/quote]
Sounds like what middle schoolers do when they're bored on the computer.

Well due to that recent information it might actually be less bullshit than it was a year ago.
Besides you know, taping off your webcam.

Just don't look the camera directly in the eye or all your darkest secrets will be revealed

Early warning/Search/Tracking radars in the centre, with (probably 5V55U) launchers around the outside.

UFO UFO UFO!
images without context are completely useless, the U.S. for example built completely false aircraft to park outside their top secret hangars durring the cold war, also google earth has been heavily censored so that american, russian, and chinese top secret goverment sites have been taken on days when nothing was visible. its been revealed that durring the cold war they had charts up in the bases telling the scientists when percicely they could work on aircraft outside the hangars away from the soviet spy planes
Yup, that's how i remember the seasons at the military bootcamp/workplace.
Everything is fine and dandy inside the camp and the field was cold and shitty.

Google map is funny sometimes.
Reminds me of this time when i was six years old and me and my sister were bored so we search area 51 in google maps. Then suddenly the browser just automatically closed and we started freaking out expecting men in suits to show up at our door.
