The editors at PC World spent some time using Google Earth to scour the surface of the planet, and they turned up some incredibly strange sights. The giant portrait of Oprah cut through a field by an Arizona farmer is one thing – you almost expect something like that – but the apparently natural phenomena are the truly mind-boggling ones. The image at left, for example, is an overhead view of a natural geological formation in Alberta, Canada. Locals call it The Badlands Guardian, but based on the ear phone, I’d prefer something more along the lines of The Early Adopter. And is it just me, or does that look like Sigmund Freud sitting atop the Guardian’s head?
In less entertaining news, Google Earth may have put the company on China’s bad side after the circulation of a satellite shot of what appears to be a new Chinese sub made the rounds on the web, according to IDG News.—Gregory Mone

This feature is a negative feature which means it's a valley, not raised, as it appears.

If you look just right of the Guardian's face ,there is a second face ... ( part of the "head dress" of the first )....It is very clear... Also if you scan over to the "left" of this image and up... you will find a third image that looks "EXTRAORDINARY" like a hunters face with a bear head cover... just as they wore ... Take a look it is very weird ...and the image is very clear. Shawn Freeborn

I am convinced that Google itself is powered on alien technology.

This shows how much we don't know about what's out there. So many people don't every get out of their comfort zone that they don't know the wide array of phenomenons that are happening in this world. Of course, I don't believe in aliens and Elvis still being alive, however, I do believe in miracles and I think Google earth has shown humanity that there's more to life than the town you live in.

Those natural wonders are always fascinating. It makes you think that someone really powerful is carving them using natural elements.

To believe in a higher power is another sign that there maybe things in this world we cannot explain like the fountain of youth.

You are always thinking too much. The world is just not about the higher power but the power within us to change and believe in ourselves. In turn, someone high above will help us.
