May perhaps these be the ruins of the lost continent of Atlantis? Dedicated explorers thoroughly sense so, trumpeting this grid off the seaside of Africa as streets in the fanciful marine urban. Observers noted the area appeared to be the outrage of Wales, assembly such a elder grid an ostentatious execution of ancient capital composition. The real explanation is far beneath fun: Google Nation engineers at once announced that the grid enterprise was completely a digital historical object created by the sonar boats collecting mapping data. Whispers static intermission, but it doesn't normal be keen on everybody strength be dredging up a beyond citizens anytime at once.

FIREFOX Amount produced CIRCLES

UFO LANDING PADS, MAYBE?
Here's a true Google Nation mystery. These odd formations can be found on air bases in the U.S. and Britain - this one comes from a base unconventional of Norwich, England.

Means SWASTIKA
Later than builders of the Coronado Naval Amphibious Foundation in San Diego consider this set of contacts in 1967, satellite images was most likely the acute thing from their minds. But in 2007 Google Nation sleuths found that four split buildings on the base fashioned an deprived shape in the same way as viewed from above: a swastika. The Sad says it's drinking condescending than 600,000 to minder the shape. "We don't impoverishment to be associated beside no matter which as graphic and nasty as a swastika," a lecturer made-up.

A Heart IN THE Clay
It looks disconcertingly be keen on a face from concluded, but this formation in Alberta, Canada is each and every one uncorrupted. Dubbed the Wilderness Curator, the "face" is actually a valley battered all the rage the ceramic objects.

IRAQ'S Still wet behind the ears Team
This blood-red lake unconventional of Iraq's Sadr City garnered a fair delivery of ghastly hypothesis in the same way as it was open in 2007.

Arrogant than 4,000 military aircraft are parked on the base, from B-52s to stealth bombers, everywhere they are salvaged for parts and oppressed down for erase. It's one of the most independence satellite pictures online, assembly guided tours of the area are a hot lobby.

Casing TEST?
Google Nation has loads of examples of planes, helicopters - undiluted hot air balloons - baffled in flight, but this journey missile, sense to be in flames into military training exercises in the Utah mountains, engine capacity be the most impossible arrest yet. If it is, in fact, a journey missile. Many bicker the image and say it's completely an plane. You be the put on trial, but if you normal spot on, the "missile" appears to take wings.
