One of the most powerful online tools at your disposal is the sprawling Google Earth project, which allows you to use satellite imagery to view a three-dimensional representation of the planet, including impressive landscapes and bustling cities.

While using the program, you can stumble upon some truly bizarre finds and curiosities that you might feel compelled to share with others on the internet. One place where you can do this is the popular ‘Google Earth, Structures and Anomalies’ group on Facebook, which documents some of the weirdest and most interesting places people have stumbled upon on their computers and phones. We’ve collected some of their most recent unusual pics that you can look at as you scroll down.

Bored Panda got in touch with the super-friendly team looking after the online community, and the group's creator, Josie, was kind enough to answer some of our questions. You’ll find what she shared with us below!

The photo that GE had of my house was after a HUGE Ice Storm in October 2020. You can see the huge debris pile in my front yard that was waiting for the city pick-up. It took four of us, from Sun-up to sundown, 2 days to clear the front and backyard of all of the big a*s limbs, that came down in the storm. We were some of the lucky one that only went a week without power, some went 3 weeks, because there was so much damage to the Power Grids.

Has anybody else noticed how Google Maps Street view no longer works as well as it use to? It is a lot harder to move along roads using the arrows. It either does not let you move down certain roads or randomly puts you into other roads. WHY? It use t work great. How can Google make it worse?

    It"s not a sh*t neighbourhood. It is really pretty, with an lovely view of Porters Lake. Mostly elderly people buy these homes bc they're very inexpensive and you lease the land, which means you don't have to worry about certain things like septic tanks, etc. It's fairly quiet, but grocery and hardware stores are only about 7 minutes away. It's kind of hard to explain. Nova Scotia is really beautiful. Hubby and I moved here from Ontario in 2021. Completely different vibe here.

    Bored Panda had a friendly chat with Josie, the founder of the brilliant ‘Google Earth, Structures and Anomalies’ group on Facebook. We were curious to find out how the community has changed as it continues to grow, and whether there have been any new challenges that came with this.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    For one, the team running the group had to expand. "The only changes we have had to make is to take on some more moderators as the group is growing," Josie told Bored Panda.

    However, she mentioned that the people in the community "are still the same." She joked that they still "generally like to argue over everything."

    "All in all, the growth of the group is still on the up," Josie said, adding that people enjoy engaging with each other within the group.

    Not only google can be wrong. I once sat with my neighbours, that all had houses on a small rural road and was told off by a state representive, that we was not allowed to only maintain the road up to the last house, but the whole road, leding over a small mountain and ending at a bigger road 10 kms away. We where confused as the road was a dead end. However, one of the older guys could recall that it indeed had been a long road there, in the 1930s. State map still had it and had been calculating with that for major evacuations in case of wildfires. Lucky they fiund out now, before any event. I later looked at the road, and some very small signs could be detected under the trees.

    Google still presents roads in our neighbourhood which are non-existent anymore since 15 years. 5 years ago they added "road is blocked" on the traffic layer. Still tourists with campers or caravans get trapped when they try to reach on of the numerous camp sites at the beach.

    There’s a road from my condo complex that leads into the neighboring complex. The neighboring complex put up bollards to block it before even a single unit sold in my complex. They didn’t want our residents to cut through to get to the traffic light at the busy main road (our complex’s entrance at the main road has no traffic light). It’s literally been almost 20 years since this road was built and immediately blocked, and at least once a year each of the major map services edits that spot to show as open (not all at the same time). It usually gets corrected about a month later. But it keeps happening like clockwork every single year. Delivery drivers curse every time it happens.

    Meanwhile, we asked the creator about the most fun aspects of using Google Earth, as well as the features that she and the other moderators wish the program would include in the future. She shed some light on this for us.

    According to Josie, the most fun part about using Google Earth remains "the same exploring" of the planet we all live on, as well as "finding new things" that we didn't know were there at all.

    Meanwhile, she shared a couple of ideas for how the Google Earth program could potentially be improved to make it even more user-friendly. One suggestion is to create a tool "to go back in time," while another idea is to "bring back an easy way to mark your location."

    You’ve probably used Google Earth, which was originally created in 2001, over the past couple of decades for fun, navigation, studies, or work at some point in your life. In short, it is a web and computer program that takes satellite images, aerial photography, and GIS (Geographic Information System) data and superimposes all of this on a 3D globe.

    This then allows you to view locations from various angles. And if you’re anything like us, you’ve definitely searched for your home on the app.

    No drought. The river feeding it got re-directed decades ago, when the USSR still existed, to water some agricultural arwas for profit. Without any steady supply, the lake just vanished. The former coast is littered by the remnants of a former thriving fishing industry. Beautiful example how tampering with nature can ruin human and animal life.

    The USSR was supposed to have feedback loop of water to keep the Aral Sea full, with water from mountain sources piped in from Siberia. However the division of the USSR ministry of Argi that did the draining got their operation up and running in a year, and the USSR division that was supposed to handle the refilling never got started beyond paper plans. And that is why this is how it is, and even today, there is Central Asian politics with Russia about Russia's obligation to refill it, and Russia refusing bc these countries were part of the USSR

No speed limits posted but the minimum speed posted every few miles along with “far left lane is a passing lane only” and how they enforce the rules with ticketing.

    You can also use Google Earth to explore the planet and various cities, locations, and landscapes using coordinates. The program covers most of the globe (97% back in 2019). However, some governments view it as a threat to national security, and the program is banned in some nations. Meanwhile, certain sensitive locations (for instance, military facilities) are censored for obvious reasons.

    In 2019, the program had captured 10 million miles of Street View imagery and 36 million square miles of Google Earth imagery, covering most of the planet. Meanwhile, as of 2020, around a billion people use Google Maps, launched in 2005, every month.

    William Moldt of Lantana was reported missing on November 7, 1997 and failed to return after a night out at a club, when he was 40 years old. The 28th of August 2022, more than 22 years after he was reported missing, police were notified, that the car had been discovered in a pond, so the car was processed and could be removed and the remains inside could be positively identified. A criminal investigation was launched and it was determined as being an accident. At that time, there wasn't housing additions in that area, which helped explain how his car ended up in the retention pond. William Moldt's Cold Case was closed in the Winter of 2022.

    I grew up in the same house my entire life, and my parents still live there. It’s located in the woods, but the airport runway path goes right over our house. Both commercial and military aircraft fly overhead, as there’s a base in our area. It was especially cool during air shows because the jets flew so low over our house that you could clearly read the writing on the bottom of the planes. The fighter jets, in particular, are extremely loud ofc. I was often woken up by their morning training sessions—it scared me every time.

    You can also easily verify other people’s finds by inputting their coordinates, so there’s the added dimension of trust and transparency. According to the team that administrates the group and moderates the content, the community is a place for “anyone who loves” looking at things on Google Earth and has found “strange structures, anomalies, or something that can’t be explained.”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    During a previous interview, Bored Panda reached out to the founder of the awesome ‘Google Earth, Structures and Anomalies' Facebook group, Josie. She told us that she had been a big fan of Google Earth for a long time. "I have been looking on Google Earth for about 12 years," she told us at the time.

    "It is a hobby of mine and during lockdown I had more time on my hands," she said. The founder opened up to us that she took using Google Earth, her pastime, and turned it into a place online where she could store her most interesting finds. The group took off! However, Josie told us that she “never imagined it would turn into what it has.”

    looks like the place mel gibson went when he had his conspiracy theories too

    From Josie’s perspective, people enjoy Google Earth-related content, especially with a strange twist, because they are curious about the world they live in. Back when Josie first created the group, there weren’t many similar communities, which left an unfilled niche. "There weren't many Google Earth groups when I created my one," she told Bored Panda earlier.

    According to the creator of the group, the best way to get started with using Google Earth is… get started! Use the program. Get used to it. Explore. Experiment. And just have fun. “I would just start looking at somewhere you have always wanted to visit, and maybe anywhere else that has piqued your curiosity and you have always wanted to see up close. Photo Sphere, a tool of Google Earth, is a great way to see photos people have taken and shared with the app.”

    Wikipedia: The reservoir gained notoriety in connection with the 2025 Palisades Fire. It was reported that the reservoir was drained due to concerns of contamination in February 2024 after a tear was found in its cover. According to the LADWP, the delay in repair was due to the lengthy time it takes to find a contractor under the Los Angeles city charter's competitive bidding process. On January 10, 2025, California Governor Gavin Newsom requested the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and Los Angeles Department of Public Works to cooperate with a state investigation of the matter and conduct their own review

    Leaving a mission-critical reservoir empty in the midst of fire season is the result of failed leadership at the top. Period. Problems with the 'competitive bidding process' (or whatever) is a just a symptom/byproduct.

    That's John Travolta's house - he has a commercial pilot's license. I believe the one on the right is his Boeing 737, and the one on the left is any one of a few of his smaller jets.

    Irrigated crops. The circles are formed because the watering system base is in the center, and a very long sprinkling arm on large wheels rotates to water the crops. They're only obvious in places that are otherwise arid, but very green states like Michigan have them all over as well. They're just not as obvious in satellite views because the crops are essentially "green on green" - green crops surrounded by wild greenery. You'll particularly notice these obvious green circles all over the US west and particularly the southwest when the crops are on otherwise dry plains.

    Those are irrigated areas, the water pipe is in the middle, and carried around it on a circling pipe.

    California City Correctional Facility: Built as a state prison, leased out to CoreCivic as a private-for profit prison, contract terminated, closed in 2024. Terrible place. Private prisons should be banned. If the state or the feds are going to lock someone up, it should be at a place run by the state. Using prisoners for profit is absolutely EVIL.
