    I don't understand how that happened though. Isn't the satellite in space? how is the insect only in that 1 spot?

    I didn't know that Google's satellite maps involved a film scanning process. I thought the satellites took digital images of sections of the Earth's surface and then these were "stitched" together to form the maps.

    Apparently the photo in question was a printed photo that was then scanned into a computer (probably using an automated process).

    ... it's from that military site in the Chinese desert where the army has been breed giant insects as part of their weapons program. They use this scale model landscape, of territory they grabbed from India, as part of their training program

    http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showthreaded.php/Cat/0/Number/484568/

    How it got to Germany, I dunno.
