Portsmouth’s Spinnaker Tower is like a giant sail on the dock. It was supposed to be a millennium project but only opened last year and as you can see it is still under construction in the Google Maps photo. There’s loads of photos and a live webcam on BBC Hampshire.

Just to the north is the Portsmouth docklands where Nelson’s flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar, the HMS Victory, is docked. Although built in the 1760s it is still manned by the Royal Navy and is the world’s oldest commissioned warship.

There’s also the HMS Warrior (”The pride of Queen Victoria“) and the HMS Ark Royal, one of the only 2 UK Aircraft Carriers still in commission.

Here at Google Sightseeing one of the things people most often ask us to post, are your common-or-garden alien crop circles. Never liking to disappoint our readers, GGSS is proud to present… a whole slew of possibly alien crop circles!

You lucky people.

First up is this bizarre collection of lines and circles near Uckfield, East Sussex, England. At first I wondered if perhaps this was a chalk figure of some kind, but I couldn’t uncover anything, so… it must have been aliens!

Next, over to Italy for some sort of Biohazard warning symbol. This one is definitely drawn into the crops, but what are the aliens trying to tell us?

Finally, here in Billingly, South Yorkshire is the best crop circle we’ve ever seen on Google Local. Aliens. No doubt about it.

Hmmmm. Aliens who speak English… profanely. And I think the alien responsible might have been called “Eddie“…
