Data about exercise routes shared online by soldiers can be used to pinpoint overseas facilities
With this knowledge, whistleblower testimony regarding underground bases can be corroborated. In one instance, activity is seen under Antartica. Something interesting to this point is the fact that we have a hand full of whistleblowers and alleged insiders that have come forth detailing ET craft under the ice and that a secret military base was built next to it for research and analysis. There is more than this to Antartica and many mysteries remain including the uptick in public figure visitation to Antartica. Buzz Aldrin suffered a heart attack while in Antarctica and had to be medically evacuated. There is so much going on beneath the surface of Earth that we are kept in the dark about, and with information like this it is highly useful. In this thread I wanted to bring together some of this data and contribute what I can.
Some context about this incident from The Guardian:
Sensitive information about the location and staffing of military bases and spy outposts around the world has been revealed by a fitness tracking company.
The details were released by Strava in a data visualisation map that shows all the activity tracked by users of its app, which allows people to record their exercise and share it with others.
The map, released in November 2017, shows every single activity ever uploaded to Strava – more than 3 trillion individual GPS data points, according to the company. The app can be used on various devices including smartphones and fitness trackers like Fitbit to see popular running routes in major cities, or spot individuals in more remote areas who have unusual exercise patterns.
However, over the weekend military analysts noticed that the map is also detailed enough that it potentially gives away extremely sensitive information about a subset of Strava users: military personnel on active service.
Nathan Ruser, an analyst with the Institute for United Conflict Analysts, first noted the lapse. The heatmap “looks very pretty” he wrote, but is “not amazing for Op-Sec” – short for operational security. “US Bases are clearly identifiable and mappable.”
“If soldiers use the app like normal people do, by turning it on tracking when they go to do exercise, it could be especially dangerous,” Ruser added, highlighting one particular track that “looks like it logs a regular jogging route.”
“In Syria, known coalition (ie US) bases light up the night,” writes analyst Tobias Schneider. “Some light markers over known Russian positions, no notable colouring for Iranian bases … A lot of people are going to have to sit through lectures come Monday morning.”
In locations like Afghanistan, Djibouti and Syria, the users of Strava seem to be almost exclusively foreign military personnel, meaning that bases stand out brightly. In Helmand province, Afghanistan, for instance, the locations of forward operating bases can be clearly seen, glowing white against the black map.
Zooming in on one of the larger bases clearly reveals its internal layout, as mapped out by the tracked jogging routes of numerous soldiers. The base itself is not visible on the satellite views of commercial providers such as Google Maps or Apple’s Maps, yet it can be clearly seen through Strava.
Outside direct conflict zones, potentially sensitive information can still be gleaned. For instance, a map of Homey Airport, Nevada – the US Air Force base commonly known as Area 51 – records a lone cyclist taking a ride from the base along the west edge of Groom Lake, marked on the heatmap by a thin red line.
RAF Mount Pleasant in the Falkland Islands is lit up brightly on the heatmap, reflecting the exercise regimes of the thousand British personnel there – as are nearby Lake Macphee and Gull Island Pond, apparently popular swimming spots.
When Strava released the heatmap, an updated version of one it had previously published in 2015, it announced that “this update includes six times more data than before – in total 1 billion activities from all Strava data through September 2017. Our global heatmap is the largest, richest, and most beautiful dataset of its kind. It is a direct visualisation of Strava’s global network of athletes.”
Strava demonstrated that the new heatmap was detailed enough to see kiteboarding in Mexico, to track the route of the Camino de Santiago across northern Spain and to see the sea route of the Ironman triathalon in Kona, Hawaii. Perhaps the closest to the current operational security issues that it noted, however, was the layout of the Burning Man festival in the Nevadan desert. “The unique pentagonal pattern of Burning Man’s pop-up city is forever etched into the Heatmap, thanks to all the runners and cyclists who have used Strava to explore it,” the company wrote.
Additional Information:
There has been a ton of speculation and interest in this heat map and has generated a lot of discussion online and elsewhere. Below is some additional information regarding potential underground bases and even underwater bases. We have whistleblower testimony regarding undersea bases namely, Emery Smith, who just recently came forward.

This is only a small glimpse and I will keep adding information, pictures, and whatever else I can find to this thread. Thank you and feel free to reply if you have anything you want added as well.

This happens more often than people realize. Not to share too much detail but I am aware of a company that manages the technology for a certain government's military weapons... well that government kept calling about certain problems and so people were sent in to check things out physically only to discover that all these idiots were regularly bringing in and connecting their personal devices in a highly secured environment. Long story short, don't assume any of these people have even the slightest understanding of technology.
This is only a small glimpse and I will keep adding information, pictures, and whatever else I can find to this thread. Thank you and feel free to reply if you have anything you want added as well.
