These are commercial satellite dishes as they are used everywhere in the world. The place you can see here host 2 Teleports and I know one of them quite good. The reason why they are there is, that there are major fibre routes going through this area while at the same time it is a quiet valley without much interference.

Everybody who sets up a teleport will choose a place like this. Cybervox is paranoid, that’s all.

It makes sense. I-84 is Virginia's Technology Corridor. Mainly because many of Virginia's major universities (VA Tech, James Madison, VMI, and UVA all sit along that corridor; as well as their proximity to Washington, DC (where the Internet started). There are also some major fiber routes that go through this area to connect DC, Atlanta and Texas. So these dishes would be linked right up with the backbone.

On the Loral CyberStar website, the address list the Mt Jackson site as a “CyberStar Teleport”. Just below it, it has another station in Kapolei, Hawaii, also called a “CyberStar Teleport”.

MY GAWD, it’s a TELEPORT to Hawaii!!!

If you scroll down a bit and then to the right there is a crazy maze in the field across the street. Has anyone else noticed it?

I don’t know what to make of the conspiracy web sites but the FCC lists this as OrionNet, Inc. and even gives the same geographic coordinates.

(top of page 2)
http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/International/Public_Notices/2000/pnin0011.pdf

There is somewhat sparse home page at http://www.orionnet.ccom for an OrionNet that says they are a provider of “Reality priced IT Services for Small & Medium businesses.”

An SEC filing at also refers to this site and says it was owned by Orion Newco Services Inc. Part was sold in 1992 and the rest leased to Orion Atlantic.

http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:rsqilCb-5NwJ:getfilings.com/o0001005150-97-000219.html+orionnet+%22mount+jackson%22&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=3

In February 1992, Orion sold its earth station facility at Mount Jackson, Virginia, but retained six acres of land at that location plus access to certain capacity and facilities. Orion has leased the land and facilities in Mount Jackson to Orion Atlantic for use as part of the TT&C Station.

The conspiracy website says the dishes are owned by Merillat, a cabinet maker. That address is 1325 Industrial Park Road while the FCC lists the antennas at 1305 Industrial Park Road.

These minutes of a local town meeting mention Merillat and describe the site as having a “very high elevator shaft” which coresponds to the site northeast of the dishes.

http://www.co.shenandoah.va.us/board_of_supervisors/minutes/2003/oct.28.03.htm

I don’t think the antennas have anything to do with Merillat.

Finally Loral Space & Communications mentions that (a) they purchased satellite facilities from Orion 1998 and (b) that they maintain facilities in Mount Jackson.

The FCC resistered the transfer:

February 27, 1998.

Loral CyberStar lists the sam location as theirs on their corporate web site.
