Google Earth Greenland

[warrior1]

There's something going on. There's a 25 mile long oblong shape coming out of the ice sheet.

1. Do you mean

that big orange and grey rectangle a bit lower than the middle of the island?

[MineralMan]

10. It's just a segment

caught by the satellite on a day when there were no clouds. Google's full of artifacts like that. Keep zooming in and you'll see features. I'm sure Google eventually will have all of Greenland without clouds. They do the same in the USA, which is why some images look stiched together.

2. It's

580 miles from the south coast, in the center

[canetoad]

5. Ok, gotcha

I thought that was an artifact from the photos being stitched together. Ruins of Atlantis?

[Warpy]

26. I doubt if there were 2000 mile walls around Atlantis

I'd call it artifact.

3. Noah's ark?

[DJ13]

4. Is it available as a direct link?

[canetoad]

6. If you go to Google maps

then Greenland and switch on satellite view you should see it.
Can't post link as iI default to google.au

7. See if this works

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl

Or just google Greenland and zoom in slowly.

8. Whatever that is. . .if it's real. . ..is pretty damn big!. . .. . . n/t

9. Reminds me of 2001 Space Odyssey

thus spoke zarathustra

[Forkboy]

11. This thing?

It's just Godzilla's walk in closet.

[Cleita]

12. How current is the picture? I noticed that google pictures are often more than

six months old.

[warrior1]

13. haven't a clue

My brother told me about this morning. He says there a buzz on the net about it. It could have very well been there a long time or Greenland;s government is hiding something there or it's a big damn landing strip.

[DJ13]

17. It looks like the image has been blocked from that spot to me

Like someone took Photoshop and just covered up something we arent allowed to see.

[Cleita]

24. That sounds like the most logical explanation.

Maybe if we look at places on the map where we know things should be like Camp David, or Nellis AFB in Nevada (area 51 rumored to be there), we might find similar patterns.

15. holy sh*t!

a big orange rectangle of something. its one big mofo too.
wtf

[charlie]

16. Hey, it remains when you zoom

Weird looking artifact...

21. Very strange. 50 miles long?

Here's an interesting post about it from last year that I came across:

[annabanana]

22. 70 degrees 32'00.14" N by 40 degrees 10'40.06" W

It is longer than that...

[golddigger]

23. Do you mean the black oblong shape or the orange and grey one?

And if it's the black one, what the hell is that? A black hole?

[Princess Turandot]

25. It's a 'swath'..

an image blemish peculiar (in Google Earth/Maps at least) to low resolution imagery from an aerial imaging company called TerraMetrics.
You can locate these and many other types of imagery errors and oddities here:

The Dutch Diamonds are kind of nice!

27. If you zoom in on it you will see a strait line at the top of it

And looking closer you wee it is well defined and perfectly strait and about 1200 feet across and well defined by an edge on the north side that is as strait and symmetrical.
What this does fit in the weird theory's are the canels of Atlantis as described by Homer as to the size and shape.
But who knows.

28. Wow..I can see Greenland from my computer.

2012, here I come.
