Cobra

Description

On an isolated stretch of gravel-covered coastline lie the remnants of a government installation from the Cold War, which once housed an ambitious over-the-horizon radar system built to monitor foreign activities by reflecting signals off the ionosphere. Constructed in the mid-1960s, this secret technology relied on the changing conditions of the atmosphere and required a strange harmony with solar cycles and the celestial calendar to function properly. Plagued by interference and erroneous readings, the system never reached its full potential. After years of adjustments and unsuccessful investigations, it was dismantled in the early 1970s. The Cobra site, long inactive, is now a nature reserve, a silent remnant of a technological ambition shaped by the stars and annihilated by noise.
