Hi, I was screwing around on Google Earth when I saw these:



Any idea what this is? My thought is that it looks like satellites but what do you think?

Here is the coordinates:
60°18'15.90"N
4°58'19.52"E

[Edit]
It could be a fish farm on second thought, not quite as interesting in that case

What was the altitude?

OK, I checked it out. These appear to be alien water squares. They're like crop circles only.... yeah.

Low-Altitude Satellites I'm a guess. Most likely Soviet spy satellites used by an evil genius in a volcano lair.

After looking at those coordinates and zooming in to the image, I'd say your 2nd guess, fish farms, is more likely.

Yea, does seem like it. I was hoping for it to be something interesting but oh well.

I'm guessing you never even had a good look at the images before you posted this thread. If you had, you would have seen they are on the water, not "floating" around like a satellite. You can even see the nets or some thing within the middle fish farm. The far left one has a building attached.

They cover the side of the Earth I can't see from my moonbase - as I always say, you always need to make sure that your backside is covered.
