No Google Earth back then?
Have to admit, it is an addiction of mine.

No mermaids, sea serpents or Krakens.
Bogus.

You should be watching the series “What On Earth?”
Loads of freaky satellite images, laced with mystery.

"Loads of freaky satellite images, laced with mystery." They ask, "could this be", too many times.

“Hic etiam homines magna cornua habentes longitudine quatuor pedum, et sunt etiam serpentes tante magnitudinis, ut unum bovem comedant integrum.” (”Here, indeed, are men who have large horns of the length of four feet, and there are even serpents so large, that they could eat an ox whole.”)
Thank you for posting.

Have seen a few "What on Earth', whilst browsing, and then went and found them on GE.
I am more into snooping Russian bases. Some fascinating stuff there, particularly if you use the time option. Was watching a Typhoon SSBN either being loaded or tubes plugged over a period of months.
A Backfire base with a couple dozen planes scattered around, almost abandoned looking.
Russian ABM radar and missile sites, etc.

Also the “could this be”’s they come up with are stupid.
