What is this for kind of a place?

What I find interesting about these sites is when people really find things they aren't supposed to see...like the US drones in Pakistan that really weren't supposed to be there, but showed up on Google anyway 😀
 
That airport has nothing on it and the material the runway is made of doesn't look right at all for one of our airports. I don't know for sure what an Uzbek airport looks like though. It looks like you couldn't land jets on it to me. Maybe a Harrier or a YAK-141.

If you want to see some real likely foul play in google earth put in fort worth tx 76116 and hit go. Then look around. There are 1300 natural gas drilling sites within the city limits of fort worth alone. Every few sites has to have a big pit to dump what they call "produced" water into. They are supposed to use liners because it is some highly toxic stuff and the liner prevents it from seeping into the ground water. I won't even get into what it might do to the air when it evaporates because I really do not know. They don't have to tell us so we can only guess. But you will notice that some of these pits look blue and some look brown. I wonder if the difference is that some have liners and some do not? It is the only thing I can think of to explain it. They are always full so the difference isn't that. The blue ones are the exact same color blue you see in a lot of plastic stuff made for swimming pools and the brown ones look like water with a brown dirt bottom. They are right in the middle of neighborhoods and right next to a lake that is connected to another lake that the water supply comes from. They are everywhere. Most people don't live more than a 1/4 mile away from one and nobody more than a mile away from one. A lot of people live within feet of them. These operations are completely exempt from all EPA (federal agency to protect the public from toxic materials) regulations which is the only reason I am suspicious. A lot of people say a lot of damage has been done to them but I don't know for sure if it is true. It is possible that it is some kind of propaganda campaign to smear the companies. The EPA exemption seems pretty screwy to me though. Something must be going on that shouldn't be. They need to prove it is safe by an independent entity like the EPA. They could be bought too but it is still better then letting the states control it. They make too much money on it to be neutral.

Around here nobody with a bunch of land cares at all because of the money. My house is on less than a half acre and I have already gotten almost 5 grand for the mineral rights underneath my property. That is not worth dying for though. But people who have a lot of land get half a million dollar checks and amounts like that. There is no way they will ever do anything to impede it in any way. The amounts vary but are proportional to the amount of gas taken from your property or for allowing them to drill through your property to get to the gas. They are more than generous when it comes to that. But we really do not know how much damage it is doing to our air and water. Only 2 in this county have exploded so it is not a huge risk in that way.

This exact same thing will be coming to a lot of places soon. I advise making them prove it is safe (by EPA regulation not according to them) before you sign away your rights like everybody here did.
