Yes, not following the land contours is most odd.That is what I was looking at. i remember it now.
If you look very closely at those grids, they get even stranger. Note how they do not follow the contours of the land beneath them ? And they appear to have some kind of building or assembly every so often.
I wondered at first if they could be some kind of track, but they are too precise.
Also they assembly is big. I made it about 40 Km across.
I'll have to get access to Google Earth again and go back and look. \this feature is the reason I was trying to get World Wind to work. Hoping the definition may be better.
One interesting thing to do is go as low as you can and follow the object North.
I did wonder if it was either of the following:
- A gigantic antenna array for astronomical purposes.
- A preliminary layout for a huge new city.
- A preliminary irrigation system for reclaiming land from the desert.
- Something of military purpose.
- Testing of autonomous vehicles.
