From all accounts, Awa appears most likely to be an enormous space habitat constructed by unknown creators. Professor Arun Divan, a long-time Awa researcher, believes that Awa may be an ''ark'' constructed by extra-terrestrials in order to study and/or preserve terrestrial life, and possibly that of other planets as well. | From all accounts, Awa appears most likely to be an enormous space habitat constructed by unknown creators.

In structure, it consists of a great many enormous hollow cylinders, called ''mbye'' in [[Ngehu]], with diameters estimated to be approximately six kilometres. Each cylinder rotates approximately once every two minutes, providing Earth-like gravity on its inner surface. The cylinders appear to be about 100 kilometres long although estimates vary wildly. At each end of a cylinder is a large "cap" or "wall" and a great many of these caps have an opening into a system of small, non-rotational passageways which link the cylinders together. Although the cylinders are closed, aside from these passageways and one cannot see the entire structure of Awa, the form of the passageways indicates that these cylinders are nestled side-by-side in a hexagonal pattern and also end-to-end for several layers. The extent of the entire space habitat is unknown as there are areas where the passageways are sealed off; the whole structure may be orders of magnitude larger than the approximately 200 cylinders known to the Ngehu. | In structure, it consists of a great many enormous hollow cylinders, called ''mbye'' in [[Ngehu]], with diameters estimated to be approximately six kilometres.

The cylinders are lit by a large central "spoke" referred to in Ngehu as ''nggogya''. The ''nggogya'' appear to emit highly directional parallel beams of light from their entire surface. The angle of the light varies throughout the day, creating the appearance of a sun located at a virtually infinite distance. At night time, dimmer lights appear, roughly representing the moon and stars and an approximate moon cycle is present as well. As one of the anonymous interviewees put it “It appears someone has gone to a lot of trouble to make something that looks a lot like Earth, but also nothing like Earth at all.” | The cylinders are lit by a large central "spoke" referred to in Ngehu as ''nggogya''.

The known cylinders of Awa all possess a more or less tropical climate and the land surface on their inner sides is mostly cloaked in rainforest although many of the cylinders also contain large seas. | The known cylinders of Awa all possess a more or less tropical climate and the land surface on their inner sides is mostly cloaked in rainforest although many of the cylinders also contain large seas. | ||
