Unusual Finds On Google Maps (29 pics)

"People were understandably freaked out when, in 2013, a pentagram appeared to be carved into the ground in a deserted part of Kazakhstan. Thanks to Google, the image came to public attention. No sign of life appears to be even close to the creepy symbol. In fact, Lisakovsk is the closest city to this patch of land, and it's about 12 miles away.

Before conspiracy theories could spin out of control, archaeologist Emma Usmanova told LiveScience: "It is the outline of a park made in the form of a star." Still, some don't believe Usmanova and think it could be linked to a more sinister, darker secret."

"If you're going to get caught lying to your spouse, you should try to make it count. Not like Donald Ryding, who was caught smoking in his driveway by Google Street View long after he told his wife that he'd kicked the habit. The car captured an image of Ryding trying to be furtive outside of his Merseyside home in England.

Mrs. Ryding said, "I couldn't believe it - there was no denying it now we'd seen him smoking. When Street View first launched, they didn't blur out faces, but there was no need to with him - he was covered by a cloud of smoke anyway." Burn."

"Shipwreck North Sentinel Island"

11

"The story of the shipwreck on North Sentinel Island revolves around the MV Primrose, a cargo ship that ran aground near the island in 1981. The crew initially believed it was a routine stranding, but they soon realized the danger when the indigenous Sentinelese, a fiercely isolated tribe, began appearing on the beach armed with bows and arrows. The crew was stranded on the ship for several days, defending themselves with makeshift weapons and calling for help. Eventually, they were rescued by helicopter, narrowly avoiding contact with the Sentinelese, who remain one of the most isolated groups in the world."

"Disappearance Of 83-Year-Old Woman After Two Years Solved Thanks To Google Street View"

16

"Paulette Landrieux disappeared on November 2, 2020 without leaving a trail. At the time, the police spread a search message for the 'potentially confused woman', but even after a large -scale search she was not found.

The public prosecutor recently wanted to close the file unsolved after two years. But a person who made a final attempt caused a breakthrough: the man searched for the images of her house on Google Street View. There, as a miracle, you could see how the woman crossed the street to her neighbor's house.

The police then searched the garden of that man and found the corpse of Landrieux on the bottom of a hill, in the direction of the Meuse (Maas) river. The woman probably fell, but an autopsy must give a definitive answer.

Personally, as a researcher, I would study Google Maps the first day in such a case, but maybe it was not yet on Street View at the time."

"Missing Michigan Car Visible On Google Maps"

"In 2015, a car that had both been missing since 2006 was found while employees at a Michigan mortuary home were decorating their building for Christmas. While looking in a nearby pond, they saw what looked like the roof of a car, promptly solving a nine-year-old missing person case. It turns out that the car had been visible on Google Street View this whole time.

Authorities did not suspect foul play, as it appears 72-year-old Davie Lee Niles may have driven into the body of water by accident."

It sure looks like the same general image as in OP's post, it even has the black rectangle next to where the plane is/was. It's entirely possible Google edited the image because someone reported it due to this post, but all I can say is the wingless plane isn't there now!"
