Alternate Stonehenge

Since my wife is visiting England at the moment, it seems like an appropriate time to look at Stonehenge from space. Compared to the nearby parking lot, it doesn't seem as large as I expected.

Stonehenge [51 10 44N, 1 49 34W]

The original purpose of Stonehenge was always a mystery...until British and US scientists figured it out a few years ago. When they solved the riddle of Stonehenge, they were so shocked by the incredible power of their discovery that it immediately became a National Defence Secret, critical to military objectives of the Western World, to be revealed only to those with "need to know". The US wanted immediately to secure the Stonehenge site and ban the Public, fearing that when the secret eventually leaked out, anarchists would try to destroy the site. The British refused, concerned about making it such an obvious Security target. The US then decided it was best to build an Alternate Stonehenge at a secret location. Thus, if the real Stonehenge is destroyed, the Alternate Stonehenge can take its place and continue to serve Strategic Defense Objectives with its classified power. Although I cannot reveal its location, I can personally confirm that the Alternate Stonehenge exists, having visited the site in recent years. The stones were carefully replicated to match the layout of the original site, but of course, they are not as eroded as the original stones, and some of the fallen stones were righted (so as to improve the fidelity of the operation).

I even managed to smuggle out a photo taken at ground level.

Figuring that such photos would eventually surface, the US Military built a fake Home Depot in the background as a means of confusing enemy imagery analysts. (They considered building a fake Starbucks or McDonalds, but were concerned that due to the small size of those buildings, they would not be clearly visible in a smuggled, ground level photo.) So...rest assured that the power of Stonehenge is being protected. And if you happen to know the location of Alternate Stonehenge, please contact me so I can pass your name to the Authorities.
