They say the truth is out there.

The surface of our planet is plagued by mysterious ancient structures which date back thousands—and some even tens of thousands—of years back.

They are proof of incredibly complex ancient societies that built and erected fascinating structures without the use of modern technology.

The Nazca lines in Peru, for example, are a set of hundreds of mysterious symbols and animal figures, carved on the dry floor of the Nazca desert. No one knows for sure that they mean.

Halfway around the world, we find similar markings in Kazakhstan.

And while these ancient marvels were created thousands of years ago, satellite images have revealed modern counterparts located around the world.

This time we take a look at a remote desert in China, and wonder what on Earth do these mysterious structures and marks represent?

Some UFO experts and UFOhunters claim the mysterious marks are in fact traces of secret alien bases and secret alien symbols on Earth.

Recently, people took on Reddit to discuss 18 peculiar satellite images obtained from Google Maps.

People rushed to the topic asking what on Earth the mysterious alien-looking marks represent in the middle of China.

The images kick-started a hot debate, and several users wondered whether the Chinese Government, together with other world powers could be communicating with extraterrestrial entities, or even making use of technology not from Earth.

The topic on Reddit accumulated a wealth of comments:

“There’s no doubt governments are aware of this if it’s that easy to find…but damn if that’s not interesting as hell.”

“Whatever is happening behind the scenes it’s mostly just the masses that are being kept in the dark, the major governments and key players (especially in high military circles and intelligence agencies – possibly also some political players) all know what’s up.”

“Nowadays I’m kinda’ doubting that we ever made ET contact. IMO they just made some crazy discovery in quantum mechanics post WWII and kept it covered up. Or maybe the Nazis knew how to make UFO’s, then made them for us when we got their scientists.”

“I’d say if extraterrestrial contact has been made or their tech has been salvaged and reverse engineered, it’s likely that at least all major players (US, Russia, China, possibly Germany, France, UK…) and likely various minor players, have access to that tech and have had ET contact.”

And most commentators agreed on Reddit that there’s something going on behind the scenes. Something that society isn’t aware of. Something that is not only present in China but other parts of the world.

So, what’s your pick?

Are these mysterious symbols some sort of alien code? Are the satellite images evidence of secret bases?

Secret Alien bases perhaps?

Or are we looking at just another military installation, constructed in a remote area to hide from curious eyes?

Some users on Reddit argue that the curious ‘alien’ mars are nothing more than markings for calibration and testing of spy satellites.

Seems like a plausible explanation, what do you think?
