Satellite Map Oddity

I got an email from Mike Scofield asking about this odd thing that can be seen via Google's satellite map out in the middle of the desert around Nevada. Mike writes:

Assuming I did the link right, you should see a giant triangle with concentric circles in it. I did some poking around and it looks like this symbol is ~near~ Area 51. This leads me to think it's one of two different hoaxes. One is that it's a very good photoshop someone slipped into the satalite map that Google is referencing or, two, that it is a symbol out there in the desert someone did that isn't related to Area 51.

Honestly, I don't know what this is. I'm guessing it's some kind of military base. If you zoom in you can see that it hasn't been photoshopped in (at least, it doesn't appear to me as if it's been photoshopped). The triangle and concentric circles appear to be roads.

Made by the US military during the cold war to distract the russians; hoping they would do the same as the people that replied: spending time finding out what it is......

guys, it's clear as daylight, it a bombing area. It is used for army exercices. look at this: http://mapper.acme.com/?lat=37.666905&long;=-116.02786&scale=12&theme=Topo&width=4&height=3&dot=Yes . On the Topo option, it says TARGET. and if you look closely in the middle of it you can actualy see 4 tanks and a lot of bomb holes.in the target area. That triangle was a target area that now is not used anymore( inactive target). So, no aliens, sorry.
