If I were to park my Space Cruiser for a few days with the following dimensions:

Wingtip to wingtip: 1385 kilometers
Nose width: 500 kilometers
Length Tip to Nose: 1850 kilometers

...where would I?

The South Pacific Ocean, just north of Antarctica. The least populated area on Earth.

Yes, I saw the threads about hexagons pentagrams etc. on Google earth, but this does not look like some form of glitch or missing data. It simply sits there and has been there since late last night when I first spotted it. It has been about 18 hours, it is now October 12th 16:00 CET.

If this were a glitch it would have corrected itself by now, just like the hexagons did, hence the post.

No clouds, nothing. Looks like a cone cut out of the cloud data.

Please measure & check Google Earth for yourself:

Cloud Deck


No Cloud Deck


Clarity.

It looks like an...ICE CONE! Joking aside just two more days and we'll find out won't we.

aargh i cant wait anymore! need to know if it's true!

I'm having really bad headaches past days..

Now that you mention it....

I have had them for the last two weeks. Almost always fierce and around the left eye, mostly at night. I think it might be some form of Cluster Headaches which is quite a rare condition (less than 1%)

I have been feeling extremely lethargic the last few days. Maybe it´s all the October 14th anticipation?

We´ll know in 48 hours so we can all go back to our normal lives. (or not)

PS: IF there is something there near Antarctica I am not saying Google is aware of this and covering it up, but rather something is interfering with the satellite data.

MoonMine

why hasnt any other satellite,s footprint been disrupted IE satellite tv, gps mobile phone comunnications, ground radar sat-nav earth survey equipment ?
with a 2000 mile ufo it would really effect communication equipment.

Could it be the perspective scan of the Earth?
You know? Like when the satellite is not directly overhead but rather scanning ahead or behind the surface of the earth.

When stitched together and corrected perspectively, these skewed images may show this type of pattern.

It seems simply too big for that, but, for argument´s sake: Yes it could be. But then my question would be: Why has it not corrected itself, as the data refreshes every hour?

I saw a similar shape over Antarctic yesterday afternoon.

Today, nothing similar over any of the world's oceans.


I understand Google has their own satellite for mapping purposes.
Wonder if this has something to do with it?

Blossom said something about a "Cone" shaped something.

Interesting for sure.

it might be a hypercane forming.

I just went on google earth no shapes over the pacific ocean but this diamond over the arctic and a strip north of australia. Oh my the ship is gone! I think were back to satellites again...



Edit make pic smaller.

there have been strange shapes like that for the past week now. Idk what it is that doing that but its very interesting because it doesnt seem to go away.

has anyone emailed google and asked them?

Maybe they could shed a little light.

I don't see anything there right now. I was under the impression that Google Earth only updates their pictures very rarely... especially in obscure parts of the world. I mean when I search for my house, there is a boat in my driveway, and I got rid of that boat more than 4 years ago... and before that update, the picture was more than 7 years old.

These from two hours ago, sun was just crossing South Pole:

Clouds


No Clouds


Sorry for the error in the overlay.

I´ve checked and it disappeared a few moments ago, there is now broad daylight.

So either it was a very long glitch or the change in light corrected the readings?

No idea.
