“Pine Gap” is a jointly operated Australian and American satellite surveillance base located in central Australia, near the town of Alice Springs. 

- 

The facility is crucial for the collection of signals intelligence, ballistic missile launch warnings, targeting nuclear weapons, and battlefield intelligence. Pine Gap can only be accessed through special clearance protocols and can only be viewed with via air (without clearance). 

- 

The base originated in 1966 and provided a solid location to monitor the Soviet Union. Since its inception, the facility has grown, now being composed of 38 radomes (each of which houses massive antennas), and other buildings and structures over a 20,000 square meter region. 

- 

The base has been associated with multiple UFO sightings and other strange phenomena… including time-travel, teleportation, and the creation of super soldiers on Mars. 

- 

Furthermore, Pine Gap has been dramatized and a season of episodes can be currently viewed on Netflix. Apparently, it is not terrible. Not relevant, but hey, decided to mention.
