Google Earth Reveals Chinese Geoglyphs

Recent images on Google Earth of bizarre landmasses, strange lines, and massive grids in desolate Chinese deserts have internet gossipers and armchair sleuths buzzing.

 

As if tensions against the emerging superpower weren’t high enough with economic, environmental, and political woes--this 5-star conspiracy buffet is the icing on the cake. 

Since Google Earth’s release, web crawlers have been scouring the detailed satellite images for some of the webs strangest, finds. Admittedly some pictures have been hacked, while other images were proved legit that revealed sunken ships, abandoned aircraft, and even dueling samurais at 8 Sampsonia Way in Pittsburgh, PA. 

Before Internet hysteria sets in, as deliciously conspiratorial as the prospect of remote testing sites in far-away lands can be, is that this information has undoubtedly gone through a variety of filters before it lands on the internet for everyone to see, and has been going on for a few years. As much as everyday web-users would like to claim discovery of clandestine desert megaliths, it seems unlikely that civilians will discover something that hasn’t already been investigated by military personnel. 

Although easy to dismiss as fodder for the “I want to believe” crowd, these images certainly stir something in the minds of those with eyes to see and ears to hear. Fueled by silence from the military community, top-secret locations like the High-Frequency Active Auroral Researh Program (HAARP) in Alaska, and the infamous Area 51 keep the rumor mill in business. 

Whether or not the masses ever discover the true meaning behind the desert lines of China, or what the UK’s Ministry of Defense calls a “motorcycle range” at+52° 28' 56.60", +0° 31' 34.28 in Norfolk, England is hard to say. But for now the Internet is keeping busy with speculation and controversy that the truth is out there.
