Description

At this point, we've been speculating for a while where this supposed buried UAP with a building on top of it outside of the US could be. I think many of the suggestions have had merit, but no more so than the Iraq location. Some of the reasons have been proposed in other posts, but I wanted to do more digging.

TL;DR - the US embassy in Iraq is an anomaly, not just in size, but in some of the contracts surrounding it. There is more to the Iraq war than meets the eye and when combining that with some of the other headlines seems to indicate a high possibility that there is a buried object there that is (or was possibly) actively being studied.

Reviewing prior suggestions

I'll rehash the key contributing suggestions so far and add some new ones after:

1. The reasons for the Iraq war were flimsy, yet it was hugely expensive
1. No WMDs were found
2. No terrorists were being harbored
3. While oil profits might have been an interest, were certainly not needed given advancements in shale and other countries reserves already being higher
4. We certainly weren't going to "liberate" the Iraqi people
2. The US embassy compound is an anomaly in and of itself
1. 10x other large embassies, but no reason as to why. To put it in perspective, it's 350 acres, whereas most embassies are 10:

2. It's a fortress in a country that is essentially hostile

New ideas to contribute

There were other strange headlines that seemed a bit out of place to me and could provide some clues, even if a bit of a reach, but bear with me as I explain:

1. US opens large contracts with unnamed corporations to build the compound
1. Possibly hiding the defense contractors like LM?
2. US ships 330,000 kg from Iraq to the US ET
1. Citation: https://syria360.wordpress.com/2019/01/10/baghdad-embassy-the-secret-…
2. This is public information from RFPs gathered by that source
3. Why would you need to ship that much out of the embassy? We had whole military bases there?
3. An additional 1 million+ pounds is sent to other embassies around the world
1. Same citation: https://syria360.wordpress.com/2019/01/10/baghdad-embassy-the-secret-…
4. US returns a large amount of looted Iraqi artifacts
1. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/u-s-other-countries-return-looted-…
2. Why would they even bother to get them? I mean, this is kind of Indiana Jones stuff, finding stolen artifacts and returning them to their "museums".
3. How did they get such a large collection? They cited other countries helping, meaning perhaps after they shipped them to the embassies in those countries for examination?
4. Painted as "do good" but seems more like white wash
5. They have huge amount of personnel at the embassy completely cut off from the city and country of Iraq
1. *So, America’s largest diplomatic mission is surrounded by high concrete walls, is painted in black, brown and grey and is completely isolated from its environment. … The United States announced several months ago that between diplomats and employees, its embassy would include 16,000 people after the pullout of US forces.*

Compound drill down

I decided to focus efforts on what was in the location of the US embassy prior just around 2006 when construction was going on. I figured that satellite imagery could yield some clues.

Let's see what the area looked like prior to the invasion:

Now not too long after, there's a curious picture I found that shows an area being prepped with a strange white roof over top.

The original compound design:

And sometime not too long after completion, look at how much the area changed. Same images stacked together. And note which buildings started first, the support buildings! They were not on the plan at all, yet they were built first.

In stages, note where the support buildings were first to start (https://preview.redd.it/lmehl03icedb1.jpg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=…)

Something also I found interesting is that the white roof of the support building or whatever was being constructed was partially done with what appears to be dirt and bulldozers. Why would you partially finish a building? How is the roof even being supported? Why is that the first thing apparently? Where's the foundation? Here's a zoom in of what I mean:

Weird partially completed building near time of embassy starting (https://preview.redd.it/wgf6uzilhedb1.png?width=1124&format=png&auto=…)

And finally today, from Google Earth:

Iraq embassy compound today, far cry from where it started (https://preview.redd.it/1fsit35vgedb1.png?width=3375&format=png&auto=…)

From what I can tell, the white roof became a part of the support area of the compound. My best guess is it was integrated into the below buildings at some point:

Note that second area, looks like a cemetery? A bit out of place (https://preview.redd.it/p0ys4ul2iedb1.png?width=1117&format=png&auto=…)

The planned compound design seems quite different than what it ended up as. Much more industrial as noted here: https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/iraq/us-embassy.htm (same link as prior). By 2014, there were 5000 people at the compound. This is way, way more than needed for any official embassy work. Sure, security and military were important, but we had entire bases in the country at the time, why do you need an embassy for that many people?

It's clear that support buildings ended up taking a much larger area than what was planned. While that might not be too crazy, given there's a lot to support in Iraq, I do think that those kinds of considerations would have been already considered in the design phase.

Given what we know then about the amount of freight that was shipped out of Iraq, those shipping and support buildings make sense. But what were they shipping?

Summary and hypotheses

I have a few hypotheses:

1. I'd guess one part was the "looted" artifacts they returned from the area.
1. I think they took the artifacts to try and find more that might given clues or might have come from some kind of large, buried spacecraft
2. They shipped the artifacts to other embassies to keep them out of the country and out of sight, possibly also to take advantage of foreign investigation with partners
2. I'd guess they might have tried to break down the craft itself.
1. Iraq is not a safe place, in spite of the "green zone".
2. You wouldn't want to leave that kind of technology there for others to find should you have to leave
3. Hence the massive shipping weight

Overall, if I had to bet, Iraq is the place I'd bet on for the buried craft.
