I kinda thought that was a possibility also. Someone who found it and just for fun added some creepy additions. I could see google deleting that, but why would they change the shape in such a way that is lame at best?
Do they allow just anyone to edit the maps displayed through the service??? Cause I'm not talking about someone who took a snapshot of it and then added them into the pic on photoshop or whatever. They were on the actual map, when viewed through google maps. At least they were before they were edited that is.
I think what the poster meant was Me, you or anyone can "tag" any location in google earth with info. If this is the case it's a major flaw.
Ok, I see what you're saying!! But let's say that I label some stuff on my Google Earth while you are at your house and looking at the same location from your PC. Would my labels show up on your map too?? I can understand being able to label your own stuff, but independently on a different computer elsewhere in the world I would assume that it would only show "Google's Official" labels and so forth. Otherwise I imagine google maps would be chaos with others editing stuff at random all the time.

The labels were there I saw them as well. I am curious as well if anyone can add those though...
If not there is something to this.
Interesting they took down the labels after the story ran in MSM...

Also, why nothing officially coming from Google?? I mean they are the ones who ultimately should have the answers right?!?!?
It must have been them that put it there so why??
If not then who did and how did they do it??
Then, why did they decide to change it once it was noticed without explanation??
Why is it now also labeled as a Biogenesis place???
I mean are they being hacked, or just playing gaimes????
Is it some kind of Alternate Reality Game thing or Marketing meme???
You know I'm not a journalist by any means, but I would think some reporter somewhere would have thought, "hmm, maybe I should contact Google and see what they say." But no. Instead let's work the conspiracy kookoo angle and try and make people feel stupid for asking questions and misdirect those questions from facts about Google Maps and steer it toward Voodoo Devils and Satan Worship. Hell, why not.
The Radar would be in the middle and you have 5 launchers positioned around it in order to provide 360 degrees firing radius.

because silence is golden..
If google announces they were hacked BAM~! 40% drop in shares and CEO and staff get fired..
if they say, we made a mistake.. BAM~! 20% drop in shares.. and only certain dept heads get fired..
if they say NOTHING..? .. no drop in shares.. no one gets fired .. always follow the money .. always
(ETA: oh .. and don't forget the R&D budget which is privately funded also gets the hack .. depending on the top 2 situations .. )edit on 7-8-2013 by Komodo because: (no reason given)
It's unfinished park. the park would be a part of holiday camp for children called "Star",
so there is no special meaning

Ok so now it appears google has altered and censored the area on google earth.
In the video you see the pentagram shape changed and the landmark descriptions on the location deleted.
So ATS what you think? Why would google do this? Is there actually more to this?

Anybody can make a label - even the star is a label, as you can turn it off...
