Saudi Arabia growing giant CDs, LPs and 45′s in desert?

I was working my regular late-night shift on the “Google Earth Citizens Global Patrol” and I found something suspicious: a giant patch of land in Saudi Arabia on which [it appears that] they are growing enormous compact discs, 45 RPM records, and LP records. Each circle measures 2,300 feet across! Check out this view that I captured: (click the image to make bigger.)

The Saudis are allies with the United States, so I can only assume that the Saudis are either a) storing their oil reserves in classic vinyl, or b) building a massive defensive shield out of mutant Bee Gees records.

Either way, I’m keeping my Shaun Cassidy albums next to my bed in case the shiznit hits the fanizzle.
