UFO Landing Site Markers? |
 This
evidently buzz-worthy item du jour hit the news wires in the last couple
days. There are many people who's hobby is scanning every square inch
of terra firma as imaged from space by Google Earth and Street View
cameras. I could not find an official organization they can belong to,
but most would not want to be identified anyway lest the black helicopters
swoop in to snatch them in the middle of the night. Like the mysterious
patterns that were spotted in the Gobi Desert last year, these black
and white patterns show up at U.S. military installations and various
other locations. Reportedly, they were constructed as long ago as the
1950s for calibrating cameras in high-altitude spy aircraft like the
SR-71 Blackbird and the U-2 Dragon Lady (not Bono's
group). The Center
for Land Use Interpretation has a collection of aerial images of
the bar codes and some from-the-ground images. For other interesting
images, try the
Google Earth
Cool Places website, where people continuously upload new sightings.
