Here are some other examples of interesting things found in Google Earth's aerial/satellite photos:
- KC-135 refueling C-5 Galaxy in mid-air
- Huge Scale Model in China
- Lancaster Bomber Caught in Flight
- Flying Car? You decide.

I was checking out the Stratosphere tower in Las Vegas, Nevada, and I found this weird shot of the shadow of the tower, but not tower? Is it me, or does this seem way too strange?

Yes! I just checked out ground photos of the Stratosphere tower and compared them to the Google Earth satellite photo, and for some reason, the tower is missing! How many other people have caught this?

I find google earth excellent. I live in Sambalpur, Orissa, India , but the aerial photo of the World famous 'HIRAKUD DAM' is hazy, why???I had asked this question higher, but still waiting for the answer.

Dr. Saraf,
Remember, GE is made up of lots of images, stitched together. The section that covers the dam appears to be from shots taken in 2003, while Sambalpur is covered by images from 2006 -- the quality is much higher in the later images.

Well, I checked the Google Earth Satellie image and can see the tower AND shadow as plain as day.
Try looking again - follow the shadow to the right and you'll see the white base of the tripod shaped tower and the disc shape at the top is the pod with the aerial..
It's there - trust me
