The Big Ear

"Massive satellite installation. Locally known as The Big Ear. Locals are often born with no ears, due to radiation poisoning from this thing."

- GTA San Andreas Website.

The Big Ear is a large radio telescope located in Bone County, San Andreas.

Description
The Big Ear's enormous structure is a prominent feature of the surrounding desert landscape, and can be seen from miles around. It features a parking lot and four small buildings, along with a small garage. The signals from the Big Ear are supposedly so powerful, the locals suffer from radiation poisoning causing them to be born without ears; despite this claim, pedestrians can still be found walking in the area.

A Sandking can be found under the satellite, inside the fenced area; this is the only location in the game where it can be found. Thermal Vision Goggles can also be found in front of the Sandking. Several random vehicles can spawn in the parking lot.
