Google Earth map weird images, and flying your drone on it!

[Jhun80]

Have you encountered any weird "sights" on google earth? Have you tried flying your drone over there? I have one. Please post if you have any. Thanks

Maybe an old tower site ?? Y a I find the maps on the DJI Go4 app are older than the present google earth maps so it can be confusing.

Just a follow up on the site.

I just noticed this today from google earth, when i zoom out more from the site, and noticed the circle(when you zoom in it's where the tower is) in the middle, then the darkened side of the forests/trees. (Check picture)








It's a perfect circle! Lol! I'm curious what was it?

Yeah it's a communications center, but what makes that looks so round though (the darkened wooded part)? [emoji16]

Are you talking about the greyed circle around the tower?

P.S.
That's not far from me..... road trip!

The greyed circle around the tower is like a "roundabout". But when you zoom out, there is a bigger circle.
