It's not just the plane-wing antenna thing that's odd. Everything about this site is mysterious looking.

Morrison Canyon Road intersects Mission boulevard, CA-238, in Fremont, California. The first half mile looks like a normal residential street, but suddenly it turns into a narrow one lane paved road going up through the canyon. Drive up this hill carefully for two miles, because there aren't many turn-offs for passing. Somebody will have to back up if opposing cars meet on the road. I was lucky and didn't meet another car on the way up or down.

As the road levels out at the top, I found one of the most mysterious looking places I've ever seen.

It looks like a secret spy center on a rural mountain top overlooking Silicon Valley. The plane-wing antenna thing is just one of several strange looking objects. Coordinates posted are in front of the main complex, rather than the plane-wing antenna thing. There are five tall antenna towers, satellite dishes, as well as other strange looking devices scattered around the property. Cables can be seen leading to a mobile home "control center". A previously spotted upside-down airplane (still show in Google Street view), is no longer present, indicating that things change here.

No trespassing signs are everywhere. I didn't get accosted by anyone, but I didn't get out of the car. The Roadside America website suggests not going up here at night. Not knowing whether anything really worked here, I had the thought that this just might be collection of antenna and transformed junk parts, but who knows, it might actually do something.

I can't believe the Google street view car drove up this narrow one lane road, but this site, the trailer, antennae and other strange objects can be seen in Google Street View.
