If google can get this close...

If you want to see how close Google Earth can get, go to google and input these numbers 10.903497,19.93229 in the search box
Then zoom way into the two squares that are close together.

I don't get it. I did what you said and then I zoomed out (negative) and I just see rocks.

Wow! That's amazing! Mom- look again. Those aren't rocks.

I found a search "Strangest things that people find in google maps"

So I says to myself, that's too good to be true; and as fars as I can tells it is. Supposedly those photos are not satellite images. They are actually pictures taken from a low-flying plane. The project name is Africa Megaflyover. So, unfortunately google earth cannot tell what book I'm reading from up in space.

Where did you get your information? I know that millitary satellites can get close enough to read from the box what brand of cigarettes someone is smoking.
