The largest fully steerable radio telescope on earth sits inside a 13,000-square-mile zone where transmissions are restricted by law, no mobile phones, no wi-fi, petrol engines discouraged. The first modern search for extraterrestrial signals was run from this valley in 1960.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
