First mistake I see new Google Earthers making (and I'm an old hand - been around a month or so!) is assuming there is a single,live, photographic view of the earth. NEITHER of those is true. So what you see with GE is a Frankenstein world of lots of different satellite pictures from different sattelites and different times stitched together. In that stitching you can see bad seams, holes, different materials (different colors and resolutions), missing and duplicate items, and in this case, likely something that was on one of the satellite photographs that wasn't cropped out. The tag is probably just some identifying information for a part of a larger grid of photographs. Copy and past these coordinates in the "fly to" search box: 32.368137 -64.665064 and you can see an artifact on the edge of the Bermuda Triangle . . . or IS it an artifact? -------------------- Avast ye, matey and shiver me timbers!
