"Imagine a German military base in the middle of the US that has who knows what kind of equipment on it and the local town can't question it."

Sometimes, when I imagine what I would do if I won the Lottery and had a few millions I could just fritter away, I think it would be highly entertaining to buy a lot outside of Washington DC or perhaps in New Jersey and construct upon it a building, surrounded by razor wire and maybe trenches, and then come up with ever more fanciful antenna looking designs to install on the roof. Sort of an artists enclave where the artists could visualize different shapes that might pull un-imagined signals out of the air.

And never let anyone "official" inside the building.

Clearly you'd need a few million for the building and a few tens of millions for the law firm that would spend its days keeping the curious out.

Its a variation on the old puzzle box psychologists trick where you keep an obvious unopened box in the room and refuse to talk about the contents. It really does drive people nuts.

I have learned that when you make them wonder what's in the box, they open it and find out.
