I see, I see so what you are saying is the tower was built by aliens expect it wasn't as it does not exist.
There is only one logical conclusion. The site of the tower is the center of a struggle between 2 groups of aliens. Obviously it is intended to be some kind of transmission tower working in coordination with the Eiffel Tower and other similar towers. But It's construction was faked by one faction to trick the other into thinking everything was in place. The fire then must have been faked to explain why it didn't work. Yep it all makes sense now.
The only question left is who was the mysterious individual arrested for breach of the peace?
