I read that later photography shows the pieces blown out up to 3 miles from the center of the circle. It's made up of orange shipping containers and old aircraft. Surely has to be a missle testing range.
Also why does it say 'china is building'? The erosion and burial under dirt would imply these have been there for a while.
this is just a bit west and is far crazier in terms of material (looks like its paved with metal)

they all appear to be relatively old, covered by landslides, etc, but there are a lot of vehicle tracks that should be covered too.
if you look at the square part of the blueish landingstrip like things in that lsat link, there appears to be a glider or small drone airplane, and dozens of little white balls - it's heavily cratered too.
originally i thought those grids were representative of streets, but it makes no sense to build them over rough terrain and dramatic elevation changes like this, in such a perfect way as to make them look completely straight from space. The scale is wrong too, for streets - the widest are about 100 feet wide.
There are also a whole bunch of vehicle tracks around, clustering around certain areas, as if a part of some kind of study or recovery team, perhaps to recover top secret debris
I wonder if it's the product of a giant space-based laser printer.
