Are UFOs hiding in plain sight?
You can find some pretty interesting stuff on Google Earth if you know just where to look. Beyond the silliness you might expect (like this shark carved out of the forest at 31 59’20.53?S 152 34’18.47?E), there is also a lot of mysterious formations and shapes that some people suspect might be alien artifacts, alien communications, or even crashed UFOs.
1. Laguna AAF Runway UFO, Yuma Proving Ground: 32.866436,-114.385992
This bizarre shape was recently spotted on a military base in Arizona. It seems to be a central light, surrounded by a spoked wheel of other lights. Not unlike the "wheels within wheels" described by Ezekiel in the Book of Revelation, which has long been assumed by UFOlogists to be an early description of a UFO sighting.
Could the US military be testing UFOs at the Laguna AAF Airport? Is it an odd design painted on the runway? (And if so, why?) Or could this just be a weird visual artifact?
2. The Romanian UFO: 45 42’11.97?N 21 18’7.81?E
Just outside the Romanian town of Timisoara, what seems to be a UFO can be spotted in a pasture, without any seeming attempt to hide its presence. The shape is silver, metallic, and looks hilariously similar to a UFO from a 1950s science fiction movie, the sort that would have been assembled from hub caps and strung across the sky on visible fishing line.
Romanian UFO Network field operatives traveled to the coordinates and discovered... an abandoned water pumping facility which used to serve Timisoara.
3. The Perth Triangle: 30°30’38.82?S 115°22’56.14?E
A strange triangular shape can be seen in the desert outside Western Australia's capital city of Perth. This shape is eerily similar to the floating triangular craft which are frequently reported as UFOs. Its sides are not quite completely equilateral, and it's difficult to tell whether this is an impression in the soil, or a very large object lying on the ground. Bright spots mark each of the three corners, and three more bright spots form a triangle inside the triangle. Could these be landing lights, or markings on the craft's hull?
An intrepid Australian astronomy buff, familiar with the area from past stargazing expeditions, traveled to the site of the "crashed UFO." He reported that it is a massive antenna, which is apparently part of the remote-controlled wind farm nearby. Although a locked gate prevented him from getting close enough to see, he speculated that the darker shape might be due to brush having been cleared out from around the antenna.
4. The Nazca Lines: Ica region, Peru
These famous shapes were carved into the thin soil of Peru hundreds of years ago, long before people were able to fly. Hundreds of shapes (from plain straight lines to intricate stylized animals and humans) dot the otherwise barren desert. Who was meant to see them? Were the Nazca communicating with their religious deities, or with aliens?
