I’ve discovered some very weird stuff all over the southern shore of Long Island. Any idea what these scratches are? They can’t possibly be a natural phenomenon. From the size, my guess might be irrigation canals, but they’re not near any sort of farmland.
When I first saw them on Map view, I thought I was looking at a marina for boats, but they’re all over the place, with no pattern that I can see. And Bing’s Satellite view makes them look far too narrow and shallow for any boats.
Any guesses?
