Hmm... anyone else thinking military secret base?

Could be any number of things. Back before Google Maps was around they had black boxes on the other satellite maps sites (like terraserver, etc.), so this is not really new.

Yeah, I never knew that but it's still cool none-the-less.

Yeah, it is. I checked out a few in the states that used to have black boxes on the older sat. photo sites that now don't in Google. I don't know if that's on purpose, or if Google just hasn't been asked to block those ones yet...

Google should do an easter egg where they make fake sat photos for the Lost island, where you can see certain things (the Blackrock, etc.), and you just have to find where it is.... that would be cool.

totally.

ridiculous

probably a russian missle site
