So, I'm flying over Siberia, as you do, and as dawn breaks I notice these odd straight white lines over the surface below, which at this point seems devoid of any settlements or activity. What are they? They appear to be lying in a grid, with lines crossing every 50km or so. They also seem to ignore the lay of the land for a large part, going strait across hills and valleys. Power cables? Pipes?
>>20062Don't ask. It's a secret.
Secret roads to the Gulag.Not serious.

THOSE ARE LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE LINESDUH, HAVE YOU NEVER LOOKED AT A GLOBE BEFORE, JEEZ
More Siberia.

Thats called a road.
most propably oil pipelines
>>20123Roads follow the shape of hills and valleys. These lines go straight through everything.>>20124Sounds like a good bet, but why the grid-like configuration?
I'd imagine they'd be roads. why, then, the grid pattern? because it's russia.
Look like roads
>>20062They look like the seismic survey roads you see when flying over the Nullarbor. Probably haven't been used for decades.
Putin's chemical weapons pipelines.Bond is on the case.
They could be vapour trails from other aircraft.
>>20083This post made me giggle.

>>20062its the russian version of the SETI project, fly higher and you will see a message!
