This is great. But is the Firefox crop circle for real? Or any of it for that matter.

Cool video, but who did the title sequence at the beginning? Looks like it was made in 1989 on an Amiga and a Genlock or something.

What music is this? Sounds familiar. I assume it was from a movie.

Yes, the Firefox Crop Circle is real. No, I don't know the music, but I wish I did. And, if you want to see some more cool Google Earth stuff, go vote here:

That triangle with circles in it and that star of david are near area 51 and supposedly a target or launching site.

I think it's actually the soundtrack from The Mummy (1999), although I could be mistaken.

I had to sit back and wait on this one; sattelite imagery is edited by the U.S. Gov. before release to the general public. So certain things like loadouts on US Naval ships, or the locations of power lines and some military bases, are systematically erased from the archives before they're sent out.

But the discussion definitely piqued my interest in these coordinate sites. Upvote for the comments!

Don't forget about the Scientology symbol in NM and the craters from nuclear tests at the test site in Nevada.

i fucking love this music, and i say the desert circle things, yea, their just aiming reticles for them aliens. so they can shoot us better
they have their eye watching the specific point when the sign faces them, and blam, massive ray beam unleashes their evil ways upon us.
i propose a name change to the earth, to resist such attacks: megalon 14 (http://www.traipse.com/upgrade/)

Surprised there were no Area 51 shots or the shot of the random WW2 bomber somewhere in Britain. I just HAD to double-check out the naked lady sunbathing on her roof in The Hague, just to make sure it was what I thought it was, and it was! Much clearer on my resolution...:P

ohh.. I thought they probably would be. It's funny, there will be a few of them in the middle of the desert, little irrigated oasises.

So mozilla was behind all the crop circles! This must mean Firefox is based on alien technology. And in some infathomable, convoluted reasonoing, that must mean that aliens are among us.
