The Mysterious Facilites on Ascension Island

7°56'15.41"S 14°22'29.50"W

There are at least eight similar plots of land with these strange markings on them scattered across the central part of tiny Ascension Island, near the Joint U.S. & RAF airbase there. One of the plots is within sight of the local golf course. The others are close to satellite antennas and roads. It is tempting to classify them as probable antenna arrays of some sort, but there's very little evidence of that to base such an assumption on. No shadows to speak of, and the central white object isn't always centered. If they are military targets of some sort, they are (1) awfully close to popluated areas and in recent good shape, (2) unusually shaped, and (3) don't show any impact craters or marks that would indicate they've been used for target practice. Anyone know anything about these things?

UPDATE: A reader passes this along, to solve the mystery: Nothing quite so exciting as aliens I'm afraid! :)  These are Array sites. They contain underground sensors that detect explosions like volcanoes, earthquakes etc... The following site explains what they are and shows a close up photo:

  6. There are many other odd sites on this same island. In an area between RAF Traveller's Hill, and Royal Air Force Station Ascension, there is a large mound with two white buildings beside it. Beside these white buildings there seems to be some sort of an underground installment? Almost reminds me of the shape of the hypogeum in Egypt.
