Weird Stuff Going On In China

Mining, runways and military test sites are all credible ideas

But it just looks to weird to me, its too elaborate

I can't help but think this is part of some digital artifact that created geometric flaws as google ungracefully stitched its satellite photos together

Sorry, the correct link:

I've seen those before, still have no clue what its about.

Does anyone know what this black bar is doing on the Alaska/Yukon border?

When you see a black bar, it's usually just an error or blank spot in the imagery, nothing sinister.

Possibly, but it has been there for at least a couple of years now.
You'd think they'd have fixed it by now?

Not a lot of new imagery of the Alaskan/Yukon border.
