5 Google Earth Black Sites

  • The Paracel Islands, also known as the Hoang Sa Archipelago, are a cluster of approximately 130 small islands and coral reefs in the South China Sea, and the location of one of Google Earth’s mysterious black sites.
    This place, seen by few human eyes, appears on Google Earth as a series of blurred and blacked out images, for reasons not entirely understood.
    The Paracels are also home to the world’s deepest underwater sinkhole, known as Dragon Hole, which appears to have been deliberately scrubbed from Google Earth.
    Approximately 1,000 feet deep and referred to by local fishermen as “the eye of the South China Sea”, photographs of Dragon Hole exist despite the lack of satellite imagery. It was, however, only officially revealed by the Chinese government less than a decade ago.
    Further adding to the intrigue of this location, legend claims that the Dragon Hole is where the much fabled Monkey King once found his golden cudgel.
    Many have sought an explanation for why the site is not visible on Google Earth. Measures such as blurring and blacking out locations are typically reserved for military bases, prisons and areas whose discovery could represent a security threat...

      Not sure much about China’s intention to expand its military power, but I think they are just cat copying the American military location outside the mainland. However, there is a clear difference between the US and China: democracy and autocracy. This is a worrying diplomatic situation to the Western politics. So, the possibility of the WW3 should never take for granted. The world peace is so fragile.

    Paracel islands are visible in Bing maps, but it is possible those are old images that predate the buildup of artificial islands. Jeanette Island is clearly visible on Bing maps, is entirely covered in snow/ice so any bases located there are probably underground. Amchitka island is visible, but the central mountain range is very blurry in Google maps, and several blocks are censored in Bing maps if you zoom in too far. Also funny that French prisons are censored, but US prisons are not, even the imfamous ADX supermax is clearly visible. Even Groom Lake aka Area 51 is not censored

It would be ideal if these tech companies would help us hold the government accountable. But now these companies have funds, resources and power comparable to some world governments _and_ they're not beholden to voters or the Constitution.

    Parecel islands are quite clear on Google maps actually.

    Interestingly enough. On Bing, the only island not present is Sandy Island, where there is only a faint outline which I think shows sea depth. Amchitka Island is there and you can see presumably disused runways.
