A Pyramid in the Middle of Nowhere Built to Track the End of the World

The photos, taken for the U.S. government by photographer Benjamin Halpern,
show the central pyramid—pyramid, monument, modular obelisk: whatever you want to call it—that served as the site's missile-tracking station. Its omnidirectional all-seeing white circles stared endlessly at invisible airborne objects moving beyond the horizon. The Library of Congress gives the pyramid's location somewhat absurdly as "Northeast of Tactical Road; southeast of Tactical Road South."
