Scroll to the bottom to see this location. It’s called Luke Auxiliary Army Airfield #4.
if you look under the long road at the bottom of the triangle in the middle and zoom in their is a little feild….wonder what that was used 4?
can someone explain the extrange circular shapes by the triangles?
Those are auto manufacturer testing facilities. Chrysler, Volvo, and a third are in the area. Nothing exciting.
Ahhh I would love to say its something more than what Michael has said, but alas I cannot….then again…we could be disinformers hahahaha no just kidding…
