And what is it?
Hint #1
It's not a mining operation.
Area 51, It Is A Tractor Beamer
This is to bring in the UFOs safely and avoid all those crashes they had out there in the past.

You're closer than you think for both what and where.
About a day's drive from Area 51. And no metal parts.
No Metal Parts ?
The shadow looks like a parbolic antenna cage.

I beleive it is a "EMP" test site. entire structure is wood, or composites (no metal) to test the efect of nuclear detonations on the electronics of various
test beds (B52's, planes in general, helecopters, etc. ) they would be set on top of the structure, and EMP's would be created and triggered below it.
My guess
You've got the "what"
Do you know the "where"?

If you ever needed a tinfoil suit, well grounded, that might be the place. More electromagnetic pulse power than anything you have been around. I'll guess it would fry your cell phone at some distance.

Had to Google EMP test site to find it but.......Sandia National Lab near Albuquerque, NM
ATLAS-I or The Trestle
Even the bolts holding it together are made of wood or fiberglass.
HEY!! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY LIGHTHOUSE?
?? :-O
HEY!! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY LIGHTHOUSE?
I asked Wendell to remove my stupid post and he did!
As I age idiocy seems to become more prevalent, 😉
Have a great week!

Is that you, Mr. Rowe?

Rich, I can tell you where the structure was created. the little town of Windsor just north of Santa Rosa in California. During summer and holiday breaks during College, I worked at Standard Structures, A glu-lam factory where we made custom beams. The order drew attention becase it was so large and we ultimately had a scale model at the factory. Never saw the finished product until today. Thanks
EMP, The Old Family Business
Well, I guess I should have looked at this thread earlier.
I went to kindergarten right next door at Kirkland AFB. My dad was a nuclear engineer specializing in EMP hardening, splitting his time between Sandia National Laboratory and the Air Force Weapons Lab right next door.
He left the Air Force in 1968 and we moved to DC when he took a job at the Defense Atomic Support Agency (later called the Defense Nuclear Agency), the successor to the Manhattan Engineering District. When he left the Defense Department in 1982 he was the head of the Electromagnetic Effects Division.
I worked in the summers during college (and for a few months right afterwards) as a proposal writer at the company he founded with two other scientist he worked with at Sandia that specialized in EMP hardening, primarily as a subcontractor for Lockheed's Skunk Works.
