The Big Ear in Bone County, San Andreas
The Big Ear location
The Big Ear is a large radio telescope located in Bone County, San Andreas. This enormous structure is a prominent feature of the surrounding desert landscape, and can be seen from miles around. Its emissions are no less gargantuan, apparently powerful enough to cause local children to be born without ears. The Big Ear is a replica of the structure by the same name that was part of Ohio State University's SETI project that was designed to search for extraterrestrial radio transmissions. Planes will sometimes crash into the satellite dish, and one of CJ's girlfriends, Barbara Schternvart, will sometimes comment about a plane crash there. It may also be a parody of the "Very Large Array" collection of satellite dishes in San Agustin, New Mexico.
