18 Unbelievable Google Earth Discoveries
- 6 years ago
From the infamous murder scene google images caught to capturing photos of people sun bathing naked, these are 18 unbelievable google earth discoveries! \r
\r
14 - Happy Hippos… \r
This is just a majestic shot which Google Earth captured in Tanzania of a massive herd of hippos having a dip. Did you know that an adult hippo resurfaces every 3-5 minutes to breath, and this happens without them even realizing it – even when they are sleeping! \r
\r
13 - Soon to be forgotten… \r
This is Gulliver, and he was created in 1976 by Jimmy Boyle, who was in prison at the time. He used unemployed adults and youth to construct it, and it is the longest concrete sculpture in Europe. Based I Scotland, its also known as Hard Man or Gentle Giant, and sadly faces demolition as its currently neglected. \r
\r
12 - A real blessing… \r
Zach Evans was busy scanning Google Maps whilst searching for places to go on holiday, when he found this satellite image resembling Jesus. Its located in a field on a farm in Hungary. People have been discovering the face of Jesus on so many objects, including a bottle of wine, a drain pipe and even an iron! \r
\r
11 - A world Record… \r
This is one ginormous portrait. It covers 7500 square metres and features Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, Turkeys first president. Roughly 3000 soldiers completed it in one month using 7100 tons of black and white paint, and limestone boulders. \r
\r
10 - Truly unexplained… \r
All I can tell you about this Google Earth Image is that it was captured in Chili. Im not sure who created it or why, but it does look pretty incredible! \r
\r
9 - Something very unusual… \r
This airplane was captured flying over New Jersey in the USA. Apparently its the planes moving a bit too fast for Google to capture, creating this rainbow effect as the plane flies by. \r
\r
8 - No need to worry! \r
This Google image was doing the rounds, with many questioning whether it was real and why there werent any emergency vehicles at the scene. The confusion was soon cleared up, where it was revealed that it was a mock crash for the TV , Trauma. It looks very realistic! \r
\r
7 - I hope she said yes! \r
Using Google to your advantage, this guy decided to propose to his girlfriend using this very unique medium. There are quite a few unique messages that have been captured by Google Earth and Maps, including several saying “Jesus Loves you”. I think this might be the first proposal though, and I really hope she said yes! \r
\r
6 - Lost and found… \r
Yet another incredible example of how Google Earth can do something more than just show amazing images. A family were hiking in British Columbia when they got lost. They called for help and managed to describe a bit of their surroundings, and one of the search team used Google Earth and helped to lead them directly to the people. \r
\r
5 - A bit of plugging… \r
You see loads of logos making their way on to Google Earth, but this one is very clever. The Salvation Army are based close to the Seattle Seahawks Stadium, and very often news organizations are flying overhead, so each time that happens – the Salvation Army is advertised. Nicely done guys! \r
\r
4 - Guilty as charged? \r
This one has raised suspicions of a possible murder captured Google Earth. It looks like someone has dragged a bleeding body along the pier and is about to throw him off the edge. However, it turns out the image is ually of 2 people and a dog… besides the venue is a very popular walk for people with their pets and the image is in broad daylight -so very unlikely. \r
\r
3 - Perfection… \r
Thats one word to describe this Google Earth image. The Badlands Guardian was discovered by Lynn Hickox in 2006. It looks like a chief with his head dress on. What appears to be an ear phone is ually a road leading to an oil well. This is found in Canada, and the person who found it believes it could have been made by an intelligent species and not just a coincidence. \r
\r
2 - Target price! \r
This looks like an enormous target, and you have to wonder what its doing in the middle of the Nevada desert. Some have explained many of these massive markings on the ground as eye charts for pilots, also known as aerial calibration targets. \r
\r
1 - Privacy is dead… \r
No longer are we able to do anything without someone capturing it on film somewhere and splashing it all over the internet. There are many satellite images of people sunbathing in the nude on their roof tops, or in their gardens. Spotters scour the net looking for these images to repost. Such a terrible invasion of privacy. Luckily the images are very blurred, and most of their modesty remains int! \r
