this revolutionary program has been
giving us an overhead view of pretty
much any location in the world for over
a decade but sometimes it comes across
some pretty odd stuff welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 weirdest
things found on Google Earth
before we begin we’ve got something big
in the works so be sure to tune in to
watch mojo live on May 31st for special
musical performances and much more for
this list we’re exploring some of the
most secure on spiring or downright
mysterious images ever captured by
Google Earth since it first launched in
2005 some of these sites have likely
since disappeared but as long as they
were once visible on Google Earth or
Google Streetview
they will be considered number 10 the
longest word in the world what’s the
longest word on earth a first name just
five letters long Hamid or at least it
used to be the fort was erased comment
bin a Madonna an ahi on a member of one
of the ruling families of the United
Arab Emirates apparently wanted his name
to be visible from space well mission
accomplished and how did he do it by
having his name engraved on the beach in
futa a private island he owns in the
Persian Gulf the letters are in fact
canals through which the water flows and
spells out the billionaires name hey
when you’ve got all the money in the
world why not number nine the Kazakhstan
pentagram located close to the Russian
Kazakhstan border is this creepy
pentagram now we know what you’re
thinking either this ex Soviet state is
up to no good for them Winchester boys
are at it again tell me that’s not what
I think it is whatever is in your
particular conspiracy cocktail this
giant pentagram is sure to creep out any
Google Earth users who come across it by
happenstance ignoring how and why it’s
there if any demons are accidentally
summoned in the area we’ll know exactly
what’s to blame number eight an airplane
graveyard in Tucson Arizona there’s a
military base with a very special
purpose it serves as an airplane
graveyard known as the boneyard it holds
around 4,500 outdated military and
commercial airplanes
it should come as little surprise that
the cemetery is well protected seeing as
the stored airplanes total of value of
thirty-five billion dollars who would
have thought that a cemetery could be
such a goldmine these airplanes are
mainly preserved for their pieces but
they are sometimes sold or refurbished
number seven an accidental swastika
sitting at a stop until pictionary bans
the word windmill if you fly over San
Diego using Google Earth you’d think
that the Nazis were back what you’re
actually looking at however is the
United States Navy’s naval amphibious
base Coronado
construction broke ground on the complex
in 1967 and there are conflicting
reports as to whether the architect had
any idea that their structure would
resemble a swastika when seen from a
bird’s eye view either way it was a
costly mistake six hundred thousand
dollars has been invested into giving it
a more acceptable shape number six an
urgent need Google Earth allows us to
take in many wondrous sights but for the
most part
Street View captures ordinary everyday
life and nothing is more ordinary than
this resident of Madrid who just
couldn’t hold it in anymore you gotta go
hidden behind a car this person whose
gender remains undetermined can be seen
urinating in broad daylight what’s even
funnier is the fact that they seem
utterly oblivious to the vehicle decked
out with photography equipment rolling
up right behind them and so Google
unknowingly shared the strangers
adventures in urination with the whole
world only to delete it shortly after it
went viral
number five baby on the loose they say a
picture is worth a thousand words but
this one is worth a thousand questions
why is there a baby alone on a sidewalk
in Taiwan and why next to a Gucci store
did the Google car stop to help it
this unnerving ly odd photo remains
unexplained and desperate as we might be
for answers we can only guess as to what
became of the famous Gucci baby from
Taiwan we hope it’s found its parents if
the story ended well it’s got the
makings of a movie we’d love to see
could the baby’s odd predicament have
been part of a film production so many
questions
where’s your baby
number four pool of blood this
especially bright red Lake situated in
Sadr City Baghdad makes for a chilling
image you’d think that such a sight
would result in investigation and
explanation from local officials but no
definitive answers have surfaced some
people believe that the color is caused
by a bacteria found in the salt others
blame pollution some even believe that
the reservoir is used as the dumping
ground of a nearby slaughterhouse could
it be a modern-day plague of biblical
proportions whatever it is if you’re
ever inside our city maybe don’t go for
a swim in this particular body of water
number three sleeping with the fish this
photo is straight out of a gangster
movie the Baron looking shoreline and
the trail of blood along the dock your
imagination can’t help but run while it
screams crime scene by the looks of it a
body has been dragged along the wooden
structure and is about to be tossed in
the water did Google Earth just solve
its first murder case
sadly no the truth is significantly less
exciting than the photo would suggest in
fact it’s just a water trail left by a
dog after coming out of the lake case
disappointingly closed number 2 a
village of dolls years ago in Nagano
Japan artist tsukimi Yano recognized
that her small village was steadily
shrinking and so she decided to do
something about it she didn’t start a
campaign to attract young couples though
nope she began making large dolls or
scarecrows often in the likeness of the
recently deceased or children who moved
away and the tradition has made the tiny
village a tourist destination today
there are over 350 dolls in Nagato and
roughly 30 residents the end result is
one seriously odd virtual road trip
courtesy of Street View if you suffer
from Petiot phobia or the fear of dolls
avoid Nagato both online and in person
okay before we unveil our number one
pick here are some honorable mentions
[Music]
number one the Gobi Desert in China if
you fly over the Gobi Desert you’re in
for a visual treat strange shapes
patterns and unexplained holes make for
a captivating sight some of this
otherworldly eye candy can be explained
by nuclear tests and military exercises
but others are more difficult to
comprehend leaving the door wide open
for many zany conspiracy theories for
example this jumble of white lines has
been called a very detailed map of the
streets of Washington by curious minds
online what exactly is going on here no
one sure but it sure is fun to speculate
thanks Google Earth do you agree with
our pics check out these other great
clips from watch mojo and subscribe for
