That's right guys...the U.S. Government influenced Google Maps. How do I know this? Let me explain. I was bored the other night and so I decided to play around with Google Maps' satellite imagery. I thought, "Let's see if we can find Area 51". Alamo, NV is the closest town to Area 51. Well, after doing a little searching I did find it, but its...wierded out. Take a look at the images below and you'll see.
Area 51 on Google Maps at MAX alotted zoom level:

If we try to zoom in any further, we get:
<img src='http://img32.echo.cx/img32/8972/area5128fw.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />
Weird huh? Not really, it makes sense if you think about it. Just thought I would share

edit: This means 1 of 2 things: google sat. images sux, or half the US is involved in some top-secret thing that's so secret everyone's in it but doesn't know it.
I'm going for # 1. Or is that what <i>they</i> want me to do?

Most of it looks fine. Heck, you can even look at the White House.
But can you look at Congress? Pfft. Pixellated beyond recognition.
Now, I expect government and military buildings to have some sort of protection. But why the complete emptiness at old military sites, the extreme pixellation of Congress, and nothing for the White House?

Because, nothing really takes place at the white house besides naughty stuff.
And I have a distint memory of SR-71 Black Birds also being show and a B2 taking off from an air strip. I must search for these!
