Description:
Yesterday I flew to Knoxville, TN. On the way back, I spotted this. On Google Earth, I measured it at 400 feet accross. Someone posted a picture of it on Google Earth and called it 'Radioactive Bend'. I couldn't find anything else about it. What is it anyway?

Crop circles? <br />That thing in the circus that the elephant stands on?<br />Ring around the collar?<br />And elevated train track that turned political? (goes round in circles and never gets anywhere)<br />First layer of a wedding cake?

Jeff, it might be the base for a nuclear power plant cooling tower. I'm not sure why a cooling tower would be needed in that location, inside a bend if the river, but I've seen several with a similar structure. And the local features include 'Geiger Rd' and 'Radioactive Bend.'

I'll go along with the cooling tower base. These were made famous at nuclear power plants but now seem to be going up at other plants. The EPA will not allow us to discharge back into a river or pond (although most older plants are 'grandfathered').

It is a starter ring for a matter / anti-matter engine. It taps into the earths gravity and sends a pulse of ions up to a hyper-space vehicle. One interesting thing is the ring must be positioned in the correct location in regards to the magnetic north to be effective. The correct magnetic north allows the pulse to move in either a clockwise / counter-clockwise direction within the starter ring and the resultant burst of ions up to the space vehicle will be at its maximum. An other interesting feature of the ring is that the final segment of the ring must be installed in such a manner that no person is harmed by the insertion of the segment, why, you ask ??? at the very instant the segment is installed, the burst of ions flows immediately. This would probably be the best time to not share any additional information.
