Ever wondered what the NASA-Ames Moffet Field Facility looks like if you drive around in it aimlessly for a little while late in the evening?

IIRC it’s a airflow duct for a wind tunnel. It’s shaped that way to reduce noise for supersonic airflow.

Robert is correct. That windtunnel is large enough to hold the space shuttle orbiter.
