Starfish sites were large-scale night-time decoys created during the Blitz to simulate burning British cities. The aim was to divert German night bombers from their intended targets so they would drop their ordnance over the countryside. The sites were an extension of Colonel John Turner's decoy programme for airfields and factories (code named "Q" Sites). Following the bombing, and near destruction, of Coventry in November 1940, Turner was tasked with creating decoys for seven major cities.

| - 海星站點計劃（英文：Starfish Sites ）是在第二次世界大戰德國對實施英國大轟炸期間，英國爲了將德軍轟炸目標從人口密集的城市轉移到人口稀少的鄉村上空，特地用燈光和火堆佈置了數百個誘餌，以引誘德國空軍轟炸這些假目標。在整個戰爭期間，共有237個誘餌站點保護著英國全國81個城鎮。 (zh)

- Les sites Starfish (anglais : Starfish sites, « étoiles de mer », dont le nom vient du nom de code du site de Bristol dérivé de Special Fire) sont des sites leurres pour les bombardements de nuit allemands construits au Royaume-Uni lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Les « vraies » villes comme Bristol (Black Down), Sheffield, Manchester (Carrington Moss) et Derby étaient ainsi en partie épargnées. De telles mises en scène se sont aussi faites ailleurs durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, comme aux États-Unis, mais dans ce cas pour camoufler l'usine de construction aéronautique Boeing Plant 2.

- Starfish sites were large-scale night-time decoys created during the Blitz to simulate burning British cities. The aim was to divert German night bombers from their intended targets so they would drop their ordnance over the countryside. The sites were an extension of Colonel John Turner's decoy programme for airfields and factories (code named "Q" Sites). Following the bombing, and near destruction, of Coventry in November 1940, Turner was tasked with creating decoys for seven major cities. Turner referred to the new sites as "Special Fire" or "SF". However, one early site (near Bristol) was given the name "Starfish", which subsequently became used for all of the decoys. The sites were constructed around 4 miles (6.4 km) from their protection target, and at least 1 mile (1.6 km) from any other settlement. They consisted of elaborate light arrays and fires, controlled from a nearby bunker and laid out to simulate a fire-bombed town. By the end of the war there were 237 decoys protecting 81 towns and cities around the country. Archaeological excavation in 1992 of the original "Starfish", in the Mendip Hills, found no evidence of bomb craters. Later research confirmed that Starfish sites did attract the attention of enemy bombers; one estimate is that around 968 tons of ordnance was dropped on the decoys. (en)
