RE: Dome in the Mist
Thanks, Christine. This place has always fascinated me. It's in a rural area of Kauai, on the road to Waimea Canyon. I've seen it before, but on this occasion it looked very secretive, because of the mist and fog. Part of the dome was in bright sunlight, and part was in the shade. This is just inland of the Barking Sands Pacific Missile Range. The No Trespassing sign on the road identifies it as a NASA facility, but who knows what they track . . . It looks very similar to the 'golf balls' at Menwith Hill and at Fylingdales, both in Yorkshire. They are/were run by the NSA I think (not NASA) and were part of the nuclear early warning system. I think they still have golf balls at Menwith Hill, but at Fylingdale they seem to have replaced them with enormous wedges of Wensleydale cheese.

Re: Dome in the Mist
Actually, I think it is more of a buckyball than a golf ball. This one is definitely run by NASA, on the property of the Pacific Missile Range: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=9718995 I would not be surprised to find that it also works for the PMR Dan It looks very similar to the 'golf balls' at Menwith Hill and at Fylingdales, both in Yorkshire.
