Anyone live near Fort Knox in Kentucky?
I was down a Google rabbit hole on this recently and discovered a huge area of land to the East of Fort Knox (about the size of Louisville) that seems to be completely devoid of any Google Maps activity or detail and has a very odd facility above ground in the middle. Cannot figure out what it could be. The area is in a huge loop of highways and appears to just be forest except for a few paths up to the facility in the middle.
Presume it is a military training facility but if Fort Knox was in fact a front for some vast underground facility then holding it under this large area would be ideal.
The strange facility seems to be composed of what I would describe as dozens of outdoor cinema screens all lined up in rows, about 30-40 of them. Presume it must be some kind of solar energy panels maybe? Although they also look like they could be large concrete walls, one of them appears to have been knocked down and a JCB is breaking it up or removing the rubble.
Coordinates are 37°57'27.5"N 85°50'01.7"W

Interested to hear what anyone thinks they could be, or what this area actually is? Or if you live nearby if you know what it is?
EDIT: Appears to be a Defense Nuclear Agency-Underground Technology Program (DNA-UTP) test site, according to this...
