This is an oil field in Rio Negro, Argentina. What appears to be alien pods connected by hundreds of walkways is actually something totally of this earth. Map Data: Google Imagery: DigitalGlobe/CNES/Airbus The forest is an astonishing two-thirds of a mile long and includes over 7,000 trees. It's called the Guitar Forest, and was built by Pedro Martin Ureta in honor of his late wife. A Giant GuitarĪgain, this is another feature that isn't an optical illusion - this really is a giant guitar. The ship, the SS Ayrfield, actually still floats, but is slowly being taken over by a grove of mangrove trees. It's actually a shipwreck in Homebush Bay in Sydney, Australia. This non-descript looking island has an interesting story. These are actually potassium chloride evaporation ponds at a potash mine near Moab. Though these bright blue features in the Utah desert might look like huge stained glass installations, they're actually something much less benign. 'Stained Glass' Structures in the Utah Desert See what your photos look like as fine art. Though the factory closed in 1982, the building remains and is now a shopping center and a hotel - complete with the test track still on the roof! Editor's Tip: Great photos deserve to be printed and hung on the wall. The vehicles made at the factory would actually be tested on a track built on the building's roof. The Lingotto Building in Turin, Italy was once a factory for carmaker Fiat. Granted, this shot doesn't look all that weird, but the story behind the oblong building certainly is. Of course, not everything is as it seems because this is actually a really cool water tower, despite there being a waypoint that say that it's an 'Alien UFO Resort.' Turin, Italy's Rooftop Racetrack This shot of a heavily forested area in Romania seems to reveal a UFO just hanging out in the woods.

Unlike some of the strange things that are photographed by Google that trick your eye into thinking they're something they aren't, the Atacama Giant shown above is 100 percent real. Glancing at the screenshot above, it's hard not to come to the conclusion that this must be some sort of devil-worshipping center.Īs it turns out, though, the pentagram shape is nothing more than pathways made in the shape of a star. Kazakhstan has a lot of very, very remote places, and one of them just happens to be home to a humongous pentagram, at least on first view. This is actually the largest airplane boneyard on earth, and though many of the planes here will never fly again, some will re-enter service if need be. If you've ever wondered where airplanes go when they're retired, it's to an airplane boneyard like this one at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona.

Here's just a sampling of weird Google Earth images from around the world. That fact alone makes it one of the best photography inventions of all time, if you ask me.īut throw in the fact that Google Earth (and Google Maps, too) takes photos of some really weird things, and you have the makings for one heck of a way to entertain yourself. By now, it's no secret that Google Earth is an incredibly powerful tool that has allowed everyday people like you and I to explore areas of the world that we would otherwise never get to see.
