Some say "seeing is believing"--but we can't believe everything we see, especially in satellite imagery taken from Google Earth.
The process of capturing, digitizing, and combining satellite images often produces digital artifacts (not to be confused with archeological artifacts!. With respect to the ELP sighting, Ric Gillespie wrote, "Under certain circumstances having to do with the sampling rate (which Jeff Glickman understands and I don't), the software that converts the data set to imagery tends to produce straight lines where none are present. A blob can appear as a series of straight lines and, of course, letters are composed mostly of straight lines. As several of you have pointed out, the human takes over from there."
TIGHAR receives about two Google Earth sightings per week.
