Enter “N 36° 59.172 W 122° 03.853” and zoom in a bit. I’m sure there are lots of these amateur Nazca Lines but the weird thing about these is that you wouldn’t be able to view them from anywhere (I live very near here, I checked) and they seem to made ‘free-hand’.
some students managed to draw giant penises on their school grounds without permission. can you find all six?

Similarly, there is a commercial airplane flying over Russell Square in London - Link.
By the way, if you want people to see exactly what you’re seeing, just click the “link” button and copy it from there.
Hates in what sense? It works, and I pasted those coordinates straight from Google Earth. They work in both Earth and Maps.
Jeez, how low is that plane and where is it coming from/going to? It looks like it’s just above the tree tops.
For more of these, you can check out Map of Strange - don’t bother looking at anything whose description says something about it being an error, because Google has cleaned up all of those. (And odd shape flashes are also probably gone)
Folks have been doing stuff like this forever. Now we get to see the cool ones when threads like this come out.
We’ve got our own set of numbers in Calgary. The numbers are from four battalions who were waiting to ship out during WWI. Wikipedia here.
Another cool one is the Penticton sign on Munson Mountain. A nice walk and a great view of the Lake and the mountains in the Okanagan.
…sorry to bump this, but I just looked this up! Took me a while to spot them, but I can count five!
There are two at the ‘A’ point.
One tiny one is at the bottom right of the building just below.
Count down three buildings from the ‘A’, there are three more penii in the courtyard between the second and third building.
Is there a prize?
It may not be google maps but that other live one… but here in Southern Oklahoma we have some big words on a mt.

The PIFFERS issue can be solved here.
And why is it weird.
Go to this location on google maps to see a plane in the middle of nowhere:
32.218828,-108.821397
Of course, it is actually flying and the satellite happened to catch it but it does look like it is sitting on the ground.
Found another unusual shot, an image of footballers in Coleraine, Nothern Ireland.
Put 55.120561,-6.650475 into google maps.
The sun must have been at a low angle when that one was taken.
When google earth had just started, a neighbor’s kid got caught mowing curse words into a farmer’s crop field. The word was F* U mowed into a 100 acre field. Talk about bad timming.
Traveling in India I have seen the giant letters quite often at army bases made of rocks painted white. I guess they get recruits to build them as part of training. Makes perfect sense as it makes it easier to pilots to find them. All the bases have at least helicopter pads so need to be visible. Almost every single base has giant letters of some kind and as you get closer to the India Pakistan border there are army bases and border patrol bases everywhere.
Used to be if you tried to get walking directions and your destination it was Moria, the yellow box would have the text:
Walking directions are in beta.
Use caution – one does not simply walk into Moria.
Mordor, not Moria.
… I knew that.
Okay, so I have a large field and am not thinking about creating a piece of google art (something perma culture like). What would you do?
I’m thinking about a large circle with the diagonal sign through it over something that looks like an alien. Then I can tell people that my cows are afraid of alien landings and I did it to make them feel safe?
A large ‘X’ is definitely out. The air force flies over here all the time for training and one of those idiots would end up dropping something into the field.
