The Baigong Pipes are a series of pipe-like features found on and near
Mount Baigong, about 40 km southwest of the city of Delingha, China. The
pipes are reported to be associated with a "pyramid" about 50 to 60 meters
high that was built on Mount Baigong. There are three mysterious triangular
openings on top of a mountain containing hundreds of ancient rusty iron
pipes of unknown origin. Some of the pipes go deep into the mountain.
Some of them go into a nearby salt water lake. Some of the larger pipes
are 40 cm in diameter, are of uniform size, and are placed in what seems
like purposeful patterns. Associated with these pipe-like features are "rusty
scraps" and "strangely shaped stones,” analysis of the "rusty scraps"
reportedly found that they consist of 30% ferric oxide and large amounts of
silicon dioxide and calcium oxide.

Archaeologists have dated the pipes to a time far before people casted iron.
This has caused many people to identify the Baigong pipes as an out of
place artifact. The true nature of these pipe formations remains a complete
mystery. Oddly, the pipes are still clean of debris. Certain websites have
claimed the pipes to be an ancient astronomy lab or even spacecraft
launching site left by extraterrestrials. They reference the fact that the pipes
contain a proportion of silica close to what occurs on Mars. The pipes were
first discovered by a group of scientists from the United States who were
seeking dinosaur fossils. They reported the pipes to local authorities in
Delingha. However, the pipes were ignored until a report by Ye Zhou
appeared in the Henan Dahe Bao.
