i figure its where they are manufacturing the soilent green - SuperOmegaSlack, on 10/11/2007, -1/+18My friend showed me this one a while ago...it's the Naval base in San Diego. Take a look at the buildings!

- micahwilli, on 10/11/2007, -2/+16** OK, Pet-Peeve alert. **
Despite what you see in the movies or on 24, The really clear high-res stuff are NOT satellite photos. They are digital orthophotography taken from AIRPLANES with camera mounts. It cost my county $250,000 to have a vendor fly over to make 6-in pixel photos.
It doesn't make it any less interesting, - deutscheBag, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15I cant find Waldo in any of these
- Chubakkaz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14can someone explain to me the lake on in iraq?!?!!?
- IShouldBeWorkin, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15wow, some really cool stuff there. God bless all those people with nothing better to do than spend time looking through google earth
- Morphinity, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12New bumper sticker:
"My other car is a... fighter jet?" - nonfamous, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11It might be a salt pan. You can produce salt by drying out shallow lake beds, and they turn bright colors (inlcluding red and pink) during the process. Photo here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_evaporation_pond
- actown, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12Oprah Winfrey's head makes good mazes
- Anrkist, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11Farmer + Oprah = Two words I never thought would be in the same sentence.
- webweb, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9Nice link, but for a much more comprehensive list, you really want to look at http://googlesightseeing.com/
- themastersb, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9Google has better resolution images in the middle of nowhere Africa than it does with cities that have 100,000+ people
- chris9902, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7could be a fishing planet. But then again it's in Iraq so it really would be worse than that.
- superguysteve, on 10/11/2007, -7/+13The lake is from the blood of the Infidel.
- gutterboy, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7That last photo that also links to the blood red pool in Iraq, I have a theory. I think that the red pool and the green pool are like that epoxy bomb in die hard three. If ***** really goes to hell in Iraq we will break the damn between them and level the Mideast.
- darkskinfan87, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Billy was excited when Career Day came around. His dad was a fighter pilot for the Air Force. But his dad was running a little late that morning because his flight exercises took longer than he thought. So instead of taking the jet back to base, he thought of a better idea...
- unusualbob, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5those are 4 L shaped buildings, it doesnt look like they are attached when u zoom in
- Raistlen007, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5#4 is not a crop circle. It's a SAM site. The radar sits in the middle, and launchers are arrayed around it so to shoot down aircrafts from all directions. You can even see the square dirt mound around each.
- unusualbob, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5These are usually digital images so that is unlikely. Also the chances that it happened only in the exact spot where that water is located are rediculous.
- 10001110101, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5WTF is up with Google giving certain countries the shaft? None of the cities are labeled in Iraq (most of the other mid-east countries are blank as well). Ditto for Mexico.
FWIW, I think the "red lake" is in Baghdad, and is part of some sort of canal system. - tucsonsun13, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4The lake in Iraq may be water flooded with some sort of clay or iron oxide.
- bcr8u, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4My comments keep getting ordered by "Most diggs" by default, for some reason.
- flibuste, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4The jet fighter in the residential area close to Paris is probably related to the Aeronautics/engineering school that is nearby. I would say it's some kind of retired plane used as a landmark.
- pmagayon, on 10/11/2007, -3/+7Wow, that's a lot of Kool-Aid. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH YEAH!
- NiX0n, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3So, the first pic looks like a Native American listening to an iPod :P
- unusualbob, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I figured it would be more along the lines of "Oprah buys her own personal farmer."
- DanJohnHarris, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3No way in ***** it can be considered even 'close' to clear enough to read the labels on the bikinis in that beach. You're lucky if you can tell what color the people are, and whether they are male or female. Exaggeration is such a downer when, inevitably, it is exposed.
- BGFeltenink, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Attached or not the architect sure as hell knew what that looked like. I doubt it is anything short of deliberate.
- grouchyman, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Could it be some sort of algae bloom?
- ph3rny, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2could someone explain 9 too? why is the car on the wall
- ChayD, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Even the low-res ones are cool for atomic bomb crater hunting, or spotting secret antenna arrays for their experimental OTHR.
- bickdigg, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2for the Jet Fighter, it is in a I.U.T (Institut Universitaire de Technologie, something like University but technical) and the building also hosts an Energy and Energy Saving Lab.
Finally something on digg just down the road =) - jjb123, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I found Foo Camp in the download, it's under the "High Resolution" category.
- duggtodeath, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1This fighter jet is just odd:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,134186-page,16-c,mapping/article.html - GaidinTS, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1That's cool, I saw that Truck wreck in Bismarck, ND.
- ChayD, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Maybe it's for training air cadets? There used to be an old aircraft fuselage at the air cadets HQ near where I used to live. Either that or it's a top secret base for VTOL aircraft?
- uppercut, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Cool pics! The Badlands Guardian looks like he's listening to an iPod.
- OropheR, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I'd like to see Google adding high-res maps for Russia in Google Earth....we will find many interesting stuff there to look at.
- ChayD, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1He's right, you know. It's located on Nellis airforce range. Must be for testing new designs and training SAM operators.
- skunkworker, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Star of David Patterns Arent Crop circles
They are SAMs ( Surface to Air ) Missles - bobakanush, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Decent
- swordedge, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1very nice pictures
- LaueOfficer, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3I presume it's just a developing issue, not all the colors worked out
- robwhite1979, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0they missed the pock-marked land mine fields around the world that resemble everything from an octopus to the virgin Mary if you play 'connect the dots'... oh, and @fs77: you decide how the comments are ordered in your profile set up. Most likely you have them set to 'sort by most diggs' which does just that. If you want them in chronological order you can set it up that way too, but putting the comments with the most diggs at the top of the list really is the best way. Hope that helps.
- kallahar, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0The "Missile Silos" listed under "Open Secrets" are grain elevators, not for missiles. http://www.shopmidland.com/photos/index.cfm?
- LadyTronix, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Re: jet in paris, I'd go with the aeronautical college idea. Here is another from the Engineering college in Pisa, Italy. Scan SE to see the leaning tower

And another cool thing from near where I grew up

:) - johnsstone, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Raistlen007 is correct on #4 it is a SAM missile site.......
- Makaveli, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1hahah indeed
- msevely, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Must be somekind of promotional car, here in dominican republic we have one on wall too, i
