What’s This Bloody Massive Thing In Greenland?
We're not all like you – we don't all use Google Earth to try and find topless women sunbathing in their garden. Some people use it to find massive spooky weirdness in arctic wildernesses.
Watch this video – it's of something that's shown up in Greenland on Google Earth. Apparently there's a perfectly straight, brightly-glowing object that's 50 miles long slap-bang in the middle of Greenland. What could it be? A mysterious government-controlled alien laboratory? A crashed UFO? A trick of the light? That 50-mile glowing dildo that your mum lost the other week? We just don't know.
One thing's for sure, though – the people need to be told! Or the people need to be ignored because they'll probably forget all about by the time they go to bed. One way or the other.
There is a very big chance that this is just an artifact of the mapping process. These maps are made by orthorectifying massive amounts of camera data and not all images are taken in the same lighting conditions, and some images may suffer from lens flare, from altered exposure due to light interference, or any number of problems. When stitched together these might produce anomalies like shown. It’s also possible software used to stitch these images together applied filtering or corrections in an erroneous fashion leading to the anomaly.
It just looks more like an image problem than an object or actual physical presence there.

Don’t be an idiot. That’s obvious – and I mean freshman photography student obvious – artifacting.
You can see it in Google Maps too. Sadly, looking at it there makes it obvious that it’s just a coloration issue where two pictures were overlaid.

I can’t say I’ve looked at this video for any reason other than I could be arsed or even been bothered to look at Google earthness thingy though my uneducated guess would be it’s some sort of delicious cake based product that the people of Greenland are going to unleash on the world as some sort of evil bond-villain style plot in which case it probably contains fudge. I could however be wrong.
It’s not nice to start your presentation by insulting your audience.
Just showed a friend her apartment complex yesterday on Google Earth, and there was a camera icon on her building. Turns out there’s a large carousel in her building she didn’t know about! Probably the same aliens who put the “artifact” in Greenland …
I speak as one who would be more excited than anyone else on the planet if this were real. But it is probably nothing more than a remarkably-formed glitch which, due to shape and location, stands out as if it were an object being slowly unearthed by melting snow. If such an object really is there, believe me we will be seeing many more images of it very soon. Thus far no new images of it from any other satellites or even from civilian cameras. In addition, the object appears slightly transparent and the black line running across it is also transparent and extends beyond the apparent edge of the anomaly itself. I should still think it was worth it to check it out, and I hope anyone living in Greenland who can find their way out there will physically check out the site to make sure it is not there. Additional satellite photos will also help to clarify the matter. So, while this in itself may not be (and probably isn’t) a true anomaly, I support the efforts of individuals who take the time to point things like this out. Some really snobbish people have suggested that this was a “waste of time”, and yet satellite photos have previously revealed such things as lost cities, forgotten ancient monuments, etc… and so there is always the possibility that one of these days a true, undeniable anomaly will be captured on satellite. It is possible, given some of the evidence I have seen, that some definite anomalies in fact already have been caught on satellite photos, but certainly nothing so dramatic as this would have to have been were it real (given that, if it were a real object, it would approximately fifty miles by five miles in diameter). As yet satellite photos have not, to my knowledge, revealed any secret underground bases, or extraterrestrial artifacts, however just recently a secret U.S. Navy Propeller design was accidentally captured, I believe also on Google Earth. That was partly due to base error, since the ship should have been covered from aerial view at all times while in dry dock, but such mistakes do occur from time to time. Who knows? The next thing we find must just be an actual alien artifact or secret military base or something.
I saw this thing in (on?) Greenland last year and said to my wife, “what the heck is that?” She replied, “oh it can’t be anything important because if it was, the guys in Black Helicopters would have nuked Google corporate headquarters by now.” Which, I admit, is logic that is hard to refute.

OK Ok.., wait a minute that’s great, would have never known… but could you tell me where the topless sunbathers are?
It’s only a small glitch in the stiching of the mosiac. Most likely we are seeing through some ice melt directly at the surface of Geenland. Given the fact that all satellite pics are not recorded at the same time, there are bound to be unconsequential and possible unavoidable overlaps during the mosiac’s construction. The color is most likely due to the particular components of the land surface.
Just a maping glitch …..so we’re not all like you.
Thank you so much!!! I’ll tell mum you found it.
Whew, now the cucumbers won’t have that fishy taste any longer.
If it were a mapping glitch then it would have sharp straight lines. This thing looks like its actually embedded in the snow and ice. For all of you nay-sayers out there its at least worth a look before you comment.
You’re an idiot.
If it is just an artifact of the stitching process, then why is there more of the orange whatever it is further south and to the right exposed… I agree it might be something artificial… like a pyramid.
Its the worlds biggest yellow dildo or the biggest school bus
That is not an error.
There is also a black rectangle bellow that image and that kind of rectangle are used to “cover up” something.
This is my personal advice:
1.- continue your research.
2.- try to find references in ancient text (of course they don’t use greenland as name, that area has a different name). I found this image, because IS IS MENTIONED in an ancient text (sumerian). So, IS NOT AN GOOGLE ERROR, because 6000BC there were not google for sure.
3.- DO NOT believe when people say “that is an error, there is nothing there”.
“If similar black rectangles do not appear on other Google Earth images … then perhaps something was actually found here we are not supposed to see.” For more, and a sound explanation on mapping glitches, see http://www.rense.com/general79/Adt.htm.
your just saying shit this is a real thing! if its a default of picture then why would the same error come out each week?? thats right google earth update their picture every week or two so dont say its a error of imageing……………
here’s how you solve the problem:
1.contact Google, ask their opinion on the subject
2.actually go to Greenland at the exact spot where that thing shows up and see what’s there.
that simple
ok i dont think google earth updates their pictures every week because i just downloaded the newest version and there are a lot of buildings that i have now that are still in construction or not there. but if it is a glitch then why does it look like its partly embedded? either a really strange glitch or something is there.
It is just a mapping Glitch from where they have pasted together in a mosaic form satalite images, the two pieces (one above one below)have clearly not been snapped together properly.
If you Zoom into the right or left sides of the black bit you can actually see on the other photographic tiles where their sides meet, and how the blackbox has right angles of other tiles protruding from its corners proof of this is you can see that the lines carry on for hundreds of miles in either direction these are clearly photographic plates. and this is a bad case of stitching from a tile which is too short.
