Look here, there is in the center of the image, the Area 51, like in the russian satellites. It doesn't appear in the United States maps. Here is my photo:

Not really! Before you all get carried away with conspiracy theories (or little green aliens) you should realize that the white blob at area 51 is simply the dry lake bed of Groom Lake, noone is blotting out areas of the map. It does appear on US maps. The high contrast in the processed data and lack of detail just make it look featureless (which the dry lake bed pretty much is). Here is an aerial photo of a portion of the area:

And here is a photo of a portion of Guantanamo Bay, some of the white buildings (which make great sense in that climate) that look featureless in WW can be seen (and remember that your detail level pretty much stops at 10000 meters, it's all blurry below that anyway):

Of course it is more satisfying for some to imagine all sorts of nefarious things going on. BTW, we are monitoring the computer usage (not to mention the phone lines) of everyone in this thread... :o

WOW ! ! And who exactly are these "we" that are monitoring us?Comment

Don't be so paranoid, just sit back and enjoy WW, just ignore the little periodic beeping sounds and the clicks on the telephone line, and the occasional laser flashes. Or you can probably block it all out with a tinfoil hat.Originally posted by Guest@Apr 20 2005, 10:45 AM

Wasnt being paranoid-sarcastic was the effect i was going for but obviously you're great mind was too busy keeping tabs on people's computer usage (not to mention the phone lines) than learning basic skills like being able to pick up on very basic,obvious sarcasm.Haha-loserComment

At the risk of being accused in engaging in a battle of wits with an unarmed man, all I can say is you are definitely sarcasm-challenged and perhaps could benefit greatly from some classes in it...or maybe not. :P

Well you're identity crisis that i suspected you were going through after claiming you were monitoring people's computer's and phone lines (i.e ooh look at me,i'll register on a forum site and pretend to be this big powerful all seeing all knowing great mind) has became even more apparant through the fact that you seem to think you have wit ! You then continued to further validate my point by making a joke at the end that a 10 year old would understand displaying no more wit than that of the average monkey ! ! Have fun finding out how brainy you are'nt and how pointless and powerless you are when it comes to monitoring people u loser. Next time try not to bite off more than you can chew-ENGAGE BRAIN BEFORE POSTING ! ! !Comment
