There are some strange things on our little planet. I was looking at islands in the Pacific and it freaks me out to see some small patch of sand/rock sticking up out of the middle of the ocean, barely big enough to call an island or atoll with houses on it! Nothing elso for hundreds of miles in any direction. Some small islands are packed with houses and roads.....with no industry in sight. What do these people do? Just think of the simple items we take for granted like gas, a TV or a roll of tape...how hard and expensive would it be to get it?
The only thing I can think of, these are insanely rich people's vacation spots where they can be away from the rest of the world and do nothing but sit nude on their own beach and twist up a fat one:cool:
More power to 'em.
Anyway, I ran across this puzzling thing: A small uninhabited rock of an island out in the middle of nowhere with markers on it. These markers are about 175 feet in size and were obviously placed there with great effort and expense to indicate something. Does anyone know what they are?
They can be found at: E131° 11'31", N24° 27"56" (About 250 miles SE of Okinawa) Once there, look on the East/Southeast side of the island for the markers.
I suppose they could have washed up, but look deliberatly placed. The surrounding terrain also shows signs of past markings.
Wierd.:rolleyes:

I think we've found Debonair's home.

Could be more Google mapping aids. Or any GPS mapping aid. Or a sinister alien code.
A couple months ago a truck stopped and a guy got out and painted a white L-shaped pattern about 3x3 feet on the sidewalk outside my window.
We are all being ... pinpointed. Welcome to the butterfly collection.

Halo,
Right Hand...Hold your index finger straight up... now extend your thumb out at a right angle. Holding that hand position, place your right thumb just above your eyebrow.
Now go look in the mirror.

It's a reference point for mapping. I helped a friend do construction surveying and he made marks like that all the time. Pretty valuable reference if it's in the middle of 1000's of miles of ocean.

Now we'll perish for locating the "previously unknown whereabouts of a secret network of missile silos."

These are Black and white school buses parked headlong with each other. It was done just to make you conspiracy types nervous.
Ok, well, if it was my land, that is what I would do... I love messing with people who think everything has a meaning... Random acts of insanity!!!

The most disturbing thing to me is that you spent time searching the pacific ocean for islands....

I was looking for Chichi Jima. The island described in the book "Flyboys", about some of our WW2 heros who were shot down on it. A good read IMO. I'm also into aviation archaeology. There are a few Japanese plane remains on the island.

They are aerial bombing/naval gunnery markers... notice the craters all round. Oki-Daito-Shima is used by the US Navy for target practice.

It's the Oki Daito Jima Range. The U.S. Navy uses it.
