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.
About the author
Alex has decided that his title will be Senior Vice President of Stuff.
I guees it’s something like Area 51.
Just one thing: the category for this picture is “Weirdness-Kansas,” but the location is actually in Missouri.
Its a glitch in the matrix!
It’s look like 01 city as begin to be built there
I think we can forgive the folks from Edinburgh, Scotland for thinking Kansas City is in Kansas! They already spelled Civilization wrong. 🙂
Just a coule notes.
Michigan City is in Indiana. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Michigan+City,+IN&spn=0.174751,0.253372&t=k&hl=en
And the town of Indiana is in Pennsylvania. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Indiana,+PA&t=k&hl=en
Brazil, Peru, and Mexico can also be found in Indiana.
It’s actually the new “Google Maps X-Ray Service” and what you’re seeing is the inside of your own computer. If you look very closely, you can actually see the gerbil running in the wheel that makes the hard drive spin.
It’s an omen. It’s the Sign of La Forge.
its supposed to be water! very toxic water!
Oh, man, I don’t like the looks of that…
I’m tempted to say that’s the beginnings of the crystalline structure in ice, but it’s almost TOO regular…..
Can you say “Photoshop?” I’m starting to think Google could be a fun place to work.
Resistance is futile. This is really New Missouri City, the first of many assimilation camps.
It’s obvious that the city is in dire need of a memory upgrade. They should also consider ample cooling for the CPU. Within a year, they may just want to replace the whole motherboard altogether.
Well, if you roll south, or look at the maps, its clearly a reservoir. But this part is frozen over in the winter. Yeah, the weird parts seem sort of crystalline, and some of the stuff in the middle looks like exposed land. This is the weirdest pic yet, though …

It is a tumor
It’s a sister city to the lost city of Atlantis. We’ve recently discovered some new databases here in Atlantis that indicates the Ancients had built many smaller cities in backwater lakes in Missouri, which were to be used as shelter sites in case the Wraith made it to Earth.
It’s looks like the original satellite photos were a bit pixellated or had some digital noise/damage.
….but seriously, what the heck is that!?!??
Sorry to spoil the mystery for you, but if you scroll down it’ll become obvious that what you see is just an error Google made.
That segment of the map has had its colors inverted or otherwise messed with, so that the dark parts become light and vice-versa. I bet if you invert the colors again you’ll see that it’s just a normal city.
not guite aaa….the section below the lake are pictures taken in warmer months, spring, summer….it’s NOT a question of inverted colors. look again.
and it’s not a “normal city”….the area in question is clearly within the borders of the lake.
This looks like what you see if you look at a thin section of a rock crystal through a polarizing microsocpe.
I believe we are seeing crystaline domains in clear ice. The surface of the lake is frozen. Snow has yet to fall on the surface and ruin the image. Amazing. Show this one to your geologist buddies.
If this is natural, why are the lines so straight? I think this is some sort of photography / processing error.
Because the atoms in crystals align themselves in very ordered ways, that’s why. Ever look at a crystal? It’s got all these geometric shapes.
If these are crystal formations explain why there are no diagonals, all the lines are perfectly north/south, east/west. I’d put my money on a bug in post image processing or maybe image compression.
Oh please!
Come on folks, get a grip.
And I thought there was some bizarre “thinking” over at the ufo/orb page! This has Photoshop written all over it. I’m guessing three layers. Sure is funny, though!
calm down! its just a regular lake, it must be an error in the map… but there sure is some overlapping seasons there! here is a map and a video with the lake:

video: http://www.nwk.usace.army.mil/smithville/media/SM.mpg
it also looks like a transparent background, because you can see the paths from the woods over the colors. the lake must have had just the right color, so the image creator made some errors or something…!
What’s Wrong with Kansas?
I live in missouri (kansas city) and its nothing but an error.
This actually looks like what you see on CAD system for a printed circuit board layout. I think someone was having some fun.
Surely I’m not the only one to notice that the contrast in this entire rectangle is all out of whack:

I know the Kansas City area well enough to know there isn’t generally a lot of ahem black snow, for instance. And besides, come on, it’s obviously a joke! If somebody finds Bart Simpson mooning the camera in Springfield, I would hope there wouldn’t be many people taking that seriously.
It looks like a thin-film multi-layered waveguide. That or an Apple ][+ board. Actually it looks like what a natural macro-textures look like after raster convolution matrix processing. Its not photoshop, but its probably automatic. I guess.

What he said. That’s what it is.
I’d place my bet on the fact that the ice, reflecting the sun back on the camera, messed up the contrast totally, resulting in that image. You’re probably seeing the device innards reflected on the lens, or just afterimages from previous exposures.
That or image processing/compression artifacts.
Its quite likely that the image’s gamma/brightness was utterly messed up by the white lake, and reprocessing it to balance it again caused the artifacts.
its ice … duh, the cameras that they use to take these pics have trouble with ice. that is the result. sorry all you x-files fans.
Kansas….. perhaps Smallville. Fortress of solitude. Clark built it on his backyard.
SCREENSHOT THE PICTURE AND THROW IT IN PAINT. GO TO IMAGE > INVERT COLORS. THE LAKE BECOMES BLUE THE CRAZY COLORS BECOME OBVIOUS ICE AND THATS THE END OF THAT.
No it doesnt. it goes white green and orange.
Here’s an example of another icy lake in New Hampshire: View Placemark It looks somewhat normal, except for the lines. So whatever took this picture can take ice.
The New Hampshire lines look like ATV or Snowmobile tracks.
I have secretly spent hours sifting trhough this data and it actually the goverenment hiding something in the lake with a mineral that causes the lens to recieve wrong data and look like well that to see the ACTUALL image of whats really in the lake after hours of descrambling go to my website http://www.seeley.tk and click on photos the end result is amazing. go see for your self.
No. Actually its the anomalous satellite equivalent of: http://scientificsonline.com/product.asp?pn=3033538&sid=froogle&bhcd2=1118512659
I think it’s just the camera reflecting back off the ice. We’re seeing back into the Sat.
the ice is reflecting, and we are seeing the wall that stop the universe!!!
You people are a hoot!
Here is what the smoother parts of the lake looked like after the contrast was pushed all the way to the upper limit, but before the circuit board or whatever image was inserted:

Zoom out a bit and you will see this patch of unmanipulated lake surface is a few hundred yards from some of the best of the “grid.” I swear, if someone finds and posts a link to the image used in this little joke, there will be a few posters claiming that it just happens to look like the “inside of the satellite!” (These images were, of course, taken with a camera mounted in a small airplane.)
From a small plane? Do you even have any idea how this system works or what it is? Whatever the camera trick was seems to follow the lower points in the lake where the pattern is the most obvious, pointing more towards the light reflection theory behind it. ANother thing is, why are there so many “roads” or whatever around it? Nevermind, must be like a farming comutnity or something. I dont think it’s manipulated at all except by the technology that took it and mother nature. Or, whatever IS down there, for all you alien heads. lol.
Do you even have any idea how this system works or what it is?
You could look it up. Probably should have.
The “high res” images, or usually what you get at the three or four highest “clicks” on the zoom scale, were taken from about 17,500 feet by several aerial photography contractors. Most use the Zeiss rmk top15 camera, which is a film camera.
google Zeiss rmk top 15 for some interesting reading.
the strange thing is why the grass changes color! :-S
My bad, didnt know that, just misinformed. At any rate, go over to the “town” or whatever to the left, zoom in as far as you can go, everything looks “smudged”. Even without the smudging, still looks like a podunk place.
