Google Sightseeing takes you on tour of the world as seen from satellite, using the free Google Earth program, or Google Maps in your web browser. Each weekday your guides James and Alex present new weird and wonderful sights as suggested by readers.
Doug described these things in Colorado as ‘deep space satellites’. Can anyone confirm what they are? (Please, please don’t say ‘weather balloons’…) 
Update: Turns out that these are actually two parabolic dish antennas belonging to the Deep Space Exploration Society located in the Table Mountain Antenna Fields Site.
Thanks to everyone is the comments for clearing that up

The weirdest and best of Google Earth is now available in the…
They are the two parabolic dish antennas of the Deep Space Exploration Society. Lots of photo’s on their web site:

They’re smack inside the “Table Mountain Antenna Fields Site” according to Google Maps. So I’d guess they’re … antennas!
Satellites are, of course, things in orbit. These are a little close to the ground to be in orbit.
pooms is right…heh theyre about 5 minutes away from my house

Is there a posting of the Very Large Array antenna farm (I believe it’s in New Mexico) on the site?
Last time I looked, the images of the VLA area were too low resolution to see the site.
But if you like big radio telescopes, you can see the dish at Arecibo in Puerto Rico here: Placemark: Arecibo, PR / Google Earth
[nice ground view of the two dishes][1]

Timhogs: I found the Very Large Array. Doesn’t look like much.

Weather balloons.
There appears to be another parabolic dish antenna on the page, ‘Griffith Observatory, L.A.’ within this site. Just to the right of the observatory.
Those are called radio telescopes. They give a 3D reading of deep space quasars and junk.
