Wanna see something REALLY scary?

22 February 2001, 19:02

I found this site.

http://globexplorer.com/cfviewer/start.cfm

You can type in any address (in America at least, don't know about other countries) and see a satellite photograph of it. I zoomed right into my own back yard. Kind of scary that this kind of technology is out there. Even scarier that it is available through the internet!

I was wondering who that was in my back yard!

I've seen this site before. Though the images are too blurry for me to pick out any details on my house.

Most of 'em are really just aerial survey photos, although some are from a Russian satellite (SPIN-2).
