ALIEN Grids in China!

Well not really but still interesting. Some people looking through satalite maps recently found some perplexing and very large grid systems in remote areas of China. The grids, made up of large, straight white-ish lines cover the ground in a variety of patterns, some including what looks like structures and planes...NO one has come forward to say what exactly they are and guesses range from fakes to mining operations to housing plots to space weapon testing areas...and yes, aliens.

I have no clue what they are...the perfection of the width and straightness, along with how the features of the land come through the lines makes them look a bit fake to me...but they could also very well be military targets for pretty normal bombing tests...it wouldn't be that strange of a thing...Either way, if you just scroll around the area on google map theres a bunch of weird stuff like this so I would assume it's not supposed to be very secret as they aren't hiding it very well...
