"Some people studying Google Earth for some reason managed to run across some very weird patterns in the Chinese desert that have a bunch of folks stumped. The patterns look like stripes that were etched or dug over the top of the landscape in the area. Some of the lines appear to be made from a silver/white material."

I'm pretty much a Google Earth maniac. I used to spend all day on it, as the field of imagery analysis fascinates me.
I see a lot of those kinds of weird images all over the country (and world). You run across the damnedest things when you putz around online all day, looking at hundreds of thousands of square miles of odd formations.
Whenever I run into something odd, I usually try to research it. Sometimes I figure out what it is, and sometimes I just can't any information on it. It doesn't help matters that the federal government purportedly interferes in the process by regulating the quality of imagery available to the general public.
One of the more interesting things I stumbled upon was the Cactus Dome on Runit island. That, in case you aren't aware, is the governments attempt to clean up all the nuclear weapons fallout that they created when they bombarded various pacific islands (Marshall Islands), displacing the islands residents. They entombed a lot of the fallout in one of the craters and mixed it with Portland cement, forming a 30 foot high dome, about 350 feet across, composed of 111,000 cubic-yards of concrete.
Though no secret, as it was a pretty big deal many decades ago..... I had never heard of it before when I stumbled across is, so it was an interesting oddity to just see this seemingly mysterious concrete dome on a tiny atoll island.

Scientists were baffled for 50 years over "stripes" in the Saudi deserts.
Those stripes were sand dunes that formed parallel ridges running northwest to southeast above a certain "demarcation line" and then ran northeast to southwest below the demarcation line. When the monsoon season began, the dunes north of the demarcation line would shift to form parallel sand dunes running northeast to southwest, and then the dunes south of the line shifted to northwest to southeast.
Another mystery also surfaced. Core samples in the Persian Gulf and in the Basra Delta showed minerals, ores, sediments and deposits that originated in the Hijazz Mountains in western Saudi Arabia (on the Red Sea).
The mystery was solved when the space shuttle, using ground penetrating radar on a one of its missions, discovered a dead river bed running from the Hijazz Mountains east across the Arabian Peninsula into the Basra Delta region in Iraq/Kuwait and then merged with the Euphrates River.
That river is now called the "Kuwait River" and it died about 7,000 to 9,000 years ago.
The Arabian Peninsula was a sub-tropical paradise during the last Ice Age and melting snows in the Hijazz Mountains and rain run-off that formed tributaries created the river.
That all changed when the last Ice Age ended and our globe warmed.
Those formations in the Chinese desert could also be caused by rivers or small tributaries that are now dead, or other geological formations, or even ancient towns and villages that are now buried under the sand.

It means the aliens are coming to get you. Hide in a bunker and cover everything with tin foil. Get enough food to last at least 5 years, 10 is better, and stay there. Disconnect the internet or else "they" will use the wires to invade your mind and steal your thoughts.
