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!
