Satellite imagery used to be the exclusive domain of governments and spy agencies, but ever since Google Maps and Google Earth came along, we all get to see weird things! Here are 11 of the strangest sights on Google Earth, complete with links to the areas on Google maps.
Aircraft Traffic Jam
A strange anomaly indeed. Three planes taking off right behind each other or a graphical error?
Swastika-Influenced Design
A US Navy barracks on Coronado island, San Diego was built in the design of a swastika by accident and now must be rebuilt to not resemble this symbol.
Single-Winged Aircraft Landing
Another strange anomaly on Google Maps.
World War 2 Bomber in Flight
What is a WW2 Plane doing flying over this residential neighborhood in England? Unfortunately, the bomber is no longer there in the updated image of the area.
North Dakota Truck Crash
The satellites managed to snap a photo of a truck accident in North Dakota.
African Wildlife
Amazing image of African Wildlife from a Satellite.
Gravity-Defying Car Parking
Man, I would love to learn how to park my car like that.
Giant Indian Head w/ iPod
Who knew that the original inhabitants of the United States were technically savvy?
The Leaning Tower of Seattle
The architects of the buildings in Seattle may need to work on their skills a bit more.
Bursts of Light
Just another strange anomaly.
Brand Spamming
Interesting advertising and product placement done by various companies. The KFC logo was created in the Mojave desert with thousands of small tiles to form an image seen from sattelite. The Coca Cola logo was created using 70,000 empty coke bottles stacked up on a hill in Chile.
