Title: A Strange Vision On Google Maps Street View
Post by: Hawaii596 on 11-22-2010 -- 11:24:54
I was following a meaningless rabbit trail and saw a posting on google maps street view (maps[dot]google[dot]com then drag the little orange man off the zoom control into the map and view street views (where available)....

The rabbit trail I was following was to find out when they do more updates to add other countries not currently listed (I like using the street view in exotic far awa places as a cheap alternative when I can't afford plane tickets).

Anyway, I saw a message posted in one of google's forums about a strange colored object in the sky at Lat/Long: 47.110579,9.227568.  If you paste the preceding numeric lat/long text exactly as written here and search in google maps, it will take you right to the location.

I'd like to start a rumor that it is an alien invasion (although I think it really looks like something on the lens of the camera vehicle).

Any of you google maps nerds, take a look and see what you think.

Is it when you look up some and there appears to be two silhouettes? One pink and one brown/black.
