Brilliant bit of weirdness here… Tom Comeau says:

I believe it’s winter, and we’re seeing snow and ice on the lake surface. But where there’s clear water, something very odd is showing through.

    Its gotta be “area 52″!

  2. 177. jem says:

    Ok guys this is absolutly stupid! It is a morg prosser flack shone after exposer. DUH!!!!!!!!

  3. 178. Augustus Debergerack de Montigue says:

    Not so fast Jem there is obioulously a clear mistake. This picture was made in 2003. It looks as if your making up words thats just disgusting. If any one wants to rob me I live at 666 Hotpinkundrwhere dr. in France. I learned how to speak English when I was four witch makes me a prodogy so in your face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  4. 179. Poll says:

    The First people to right down what city and state they are typing from win . Such as I am typing fom Greensboro NC witch by the way is true but this is not my house

  5. 180. Connor says:

    OMFG, you guys have been going on about this for 4 MONTHS!!!!!

  6. 181. SoObvious says:

    Its Obviously a hidden alien message. The crystal matrixes when crossed with an Indo-Asian phoetic basis show that it clearly says that they come in peace and want to learn the secrets of break-dancing

  7. 182. Plz Get Smart u retards says:

    comn it aint the inside of a telescope because if u scroll all the way out ull see the planet.and it aint alient because thats just childish.its just a mistake in the factory.

  8. 183. Matthew Silveman says:

    Oh come on I have flown over the lake and that is not what it looks like I smell camera problem.

  9. 184. elbarto says:

    hey geniuses… IT AINT SUM MYSTERY CITY OR SUMTHIN MAGIC! Its obvioudly a glitch in the picture not a “atlantis sister city”.

  10. 185. elbarto says:

    this is NOT a satelitte reflection either THE SATELITTE WONT REFLECT FROM MILES AWAY!

  11. 186. Corvus says:

    It is nothing! Really! First of all the pic is simply damaged. And at a closer look you can see that the colors and shapes of nearly each street or field are inverted…
    This is why there can’t be any Alien City or sth like this…unfortunately!

  12. 187. saddened says:

    so this isnt alien related?? aww what a waste of 30 min reading!!fakk!

  13. 188. ohcome on now your dumb says:

    get google earh if you want to see it it is there

  14. 189. Big Game Hunter says:

    Snipe season opens shortly after the first frost. This is not an alien civilization. This is where the snipes are hiding!!! Inteligent little buggars. They are as sneaky as they are smart. All these years I have been trying to hunt them and I should have been trolling the deep water.

    Amazing

  15. 190. G.W.B. says:

    It’s the WMD’s!

  16. 191. random says:

    alien lake proven fake head west thank you for your time to prove you wrong, my sleuthing skills are king, end post.

  17. 192. Baz says:

    THis close to Kansas, could it be the Land of Oz? Take me home, take me home, take me home!

  18. 193. Colombiano says:

    -Yo creo q’ es un error de imagen, o puede ser un pista d’ algo paranoral.
    -I think that is a mistake of the picture, or could be a clue for something out of this world.
    -Je pense qui est une erreur le l’image, ou pourrais être un indice pour quelque chose hors de ce monde.
    -Ich denke, der ein Fehler Oc die Abbildung ist, oder könnte ein Anhaltspunkt für etwas aus dieser Welt heraus sein.
    -Eu penso que é um erro do retrato, ou poderia ser um indício para algo fora deste mundo.
    -Penso che è un errore dell’immagine, o potrei essere un indizio per qualcosa da questo mondo.
    -Я думаю будет ошибкой изображениÑ?, или Ñ?мог быть clue длÑ? что-то из Ñ?того мира.

  19. 194. Hmm says:

    If it was aircraft obviasly they woulduse a “spy” plane…

    Same used in “cold war” with all the ice and etc etc russia and if it was (processing) error or photo glitch theywouldn’t let it go through this only can happen when a “pc wiz” “hacker” manages to get in the file were the pic is stored and modefying it wih out google notecing it “google isn’t goverment property i’s just a well sucsefull company and they have their own servers” and then they update the pic and they see that they imedeatly think it’s something funny and they dont feel like looking in to it more and maybe in 1 year or 2 they will update the pic and it won’t have the pic enymore.

  20. 195. kurt says:

    hey, retards, face it.. something or someone screwed up, it’s not a big deal so jsut stop posting.

  21. 196. Jsut Chill says:

    Wow, someone here is mighty tense… jsut lighten up…

    Wow

  22. 197. bagel says:

    It is obviously the dinosaurs! The dinosaurs were able to evolve enough after being on this world for some millions of years. They blasted off and have been conducting research on us by hacking into the matrix. They just happened to have lifted off part of the continental crust and forgot to put it back before the plane/sat flew over to take a picture.

    :P

    The imaging is detailed aerial photography, but the photographs taken were probably stretched and rotated to make the images fit the curvilinear (north-south, east-west) tiles the map software uses. Some of the smears in the lake are not precisely NS/EW aligned, so this suggests that the pheomenon is not a postproduction effect: it was visible to the camera. Plane paths are usually NS/EW so that registration (the process of aligning the image) is simpler. Photos aren’t normally taken vertically though as sometimes stereoscopic analysis is desired.

    To explain the colour smears as crystalline interference on a frozen lake, you would have to show how to get enormous crystals of rectangular lattice, that also happened to be oriented to the curvilinear axes. Ice lattice is not rectangular/cubic; it is 6-sided (viz snowflakes), and it is hardly magnetic.

    The other explanation is that a digital camera was used, and as the lake was very shiny, with possibly wind-generate ripples, you would get intense points of light coming back. As the CCD detector in the camera is scanned by the circuitry (in three passes sometimes), the intense points of light would cause encoding artifacts appearing as smears of RGB/CMY colour. each cell on the CCD is evaluated by testing a pair of cross-wires behind the device: the cells charge up after being hit by light, and the test wires draw off the charge and measure it. If the cell is over-exposed, it can cause interference when adjacent cells are sampled. This explains the hroizontal/vertical smearing. This sounds feasible to me.

    Another suggestion is reflection inside the camera showing a circuit board. CCDs/PCBs are not coloured like that. The components may be non-boringly coloured, but the tracks aren’t. Intel adverts and Tron have been prettied up.

    Aliens? Clever government? Possibly: anything is explainable as being ’caused by things hidden or not yet known’. Equivalent to saying concisely ‘unknown cause’.

    no no no if you go towards northern utah towards king’s peak as you zoom in if you could focus on a particular shadow on this pointer 40*48′01.60″ N 110*18′21.27″ just zoom in and turn up the contrast. Like i had posted before this here is the proof what you wall need, the shadow has the same look as the lake only the lake is much more detailed and you see the artifacts that are also on this particular shadow but less detailed. I could go on and on explaining it to you all but we are all smart we can all read between the lines, if i read another discussion after this post with people still wondering just dont follow their stupidity.

  26. 201. Oh says:

    I guess that’s that. The oracle has spoken. Any further comment is just stupid. Too bad “random” ain’t clever enough to post a link to the coordinates he is all excited about. I am not going to take the trouble to load it up myself, but I would click on a link.

  27. 202. Hetli says:

    I dont know what it is, but i live near there and gonna go try to find it

    Ok, take a screenshot of the image, then paste it in photoshop. Now, you need to create a new adjustment layer, set it to brightness and contrast. Brightness 80 and contrast to 40. Press ok. Go to new adjusment layer choose hue and saturation, boost the sauturation to 80 and the hue to 20. Press ok. Then you create a new adjumsnt layer, select curves. Click the line in the middle to make a new point. Then in the input box put 190, in the output put 100.
    Now it will become clear to you what the lake hides…Enjoy!!

    Hmm, not really. Was that an attempt at a joke too?

    Area 51 looks cool on google earth

  32. 207. "33" says:

    From these glass lined tanks of old Latrobe…

    WTF, I see it now…

    Screw all the weird science thories and bable regarding photos. Just look at the darn thing through some green glass. I am out of beer, later!

  33. 208. disconbobulated says:

    LOL at all thoes people that think a camera digital or otherwise can see into its self and reveal circuitry… plus if you were seeing a reflection from the water or ice you would not see the insides but rather the whole of the air plane (or satalite… but its not one).

    This thing you are seeing is part of a global defence network set up thousands of years ago by the Anunnaki. The only reason why you can see it now is because it had recently been deployed to destroy an incoming meteor large enough to cause a lot of damage.

    Other anomolys like the thing at 38′59′15.93N 49′03′59W is just the government using a monopole to hide what they are doing. This affects the path of light which causes the blackened out area and the rainbow affect around the outside of it.

    Were on to them!!!! :)

  34. 209. kostas says:

    i believe that this is the inside of the earth!!
    as u must know, the earth is en electronic creation of the aliens and all of us are experiments with life..
    the other explenation is that the god is a master at electronics and creaated all the universe based on electronic circuits.. but noone is perfect!
    he forgot to fill this hole and as a result we can see the truth..

    LOL

    If anyone in the long list of posts has not yet answered the question of where this is, it is called Smithvile Lake. It is in the northern part of Smithville, Missouri city limits.
