What are some cool and secret Google Earth images?

I was sitting with my girlfriend yesterday and we were looking at videos of comets and meteorites because I wanted to show her the schumacher levy 9 impacts, that she had never heard of! :bugeye: :cry:

Then we kind of did some link following which went a little like this: Comets, meteorites, UFOs, crop circles and then "secret" google Earth images.

This is where it got pretty cool. Eveyone knows you can use google Earth to check out the pentagon and area 51 and all that, but these videos show you the stuff you would not necessarily be searching for. They show some pretty cool crop circles (one of them was the firefox crop cirlce... advertising, damn!), an awesome rock formation in the shape of a head (looks like a red indian actually), other strange formations, some airplanes in the air, huge ground graffiti and of course a couple of naked people (although these are really hard to justify as naked people, the res is pretty low).

Just thought I would let you know about it before I forgot. Unfotunately I am at work now and can't access youtube and the like, so I don't have the link, but if you search for "secret images google earth", you should find them pretty easily.

Thought it would be an interesting friday activity for some people. My gf and I really enjoyed the idea. Have a look and let me know what you think. Add the links to the vids as well if you'd like.

I was going to search for the co-ords and then check them out myself on google Earth tonight or on the weekend.

ciao for now...
