What is so secret about Indiana?

What is it with Indiana? Isn't Indiana as American as Apple Pie??? What have they got to hide? Are they ashamed of their state?

Why is Indiana photographed at a far lower resolution than all of the rest of the United States???

Take a look at these screen grabs of Google Earth showing Indiana...

We can zoom into to Area 51 and look at it as if we were flying over it at 1000 feet... but try Indiana... the best resulution makes us feel as if we were flying over it at 5000 feet! What are they hiding? Is there a law that states: "Thou shalt not satellite photograph Indiana at high resolution."?

My parents were born in the toe of Indiana... and when we went to visit, we became convinced that Southern Indiana was in a 50 year time warp... and that you couldn't get there from here... no matter where "here" is. Could it be that light itself is slower coming off of Indiana? Does it take longer so the exposure appears to be farther away??? What gives?

Is this the ultimate flyover country?

Is it because Eerie, Indiana, is in Indiana? Who knows?

While we're at it? What's with Missouri???
