We thought we had been seen, as I noticed a CCTV camera pointing at us. Then one of the 30 meter dishes started moving and pointed toward us. Those things can move extremely quickly considering their size.
We drove away from there like a bat out of hell. It was probably just moving to track a satellite, but it did scare the **** out of all of us.

I can see it now...
TECH1: Hey look, there's some tourists outside!
TECH2: Heh ... looks like they're lost, they're wondering why they can't see us on that map.
TECH1: Oh, hang on, one of them's taking a photo of us.
TECH2: Naughty naughty ... here, swing Antenna 5 in their direction, that should scare the sh*t out of 'em.
TECH1: OK, here goes .... yup, they's a runnin'
