Best Google Map Image ever

The UFO are what freaked me out. I think they landed and let them out first.

Good God, the aliens are landing and are unleashing nerds wielding swords!

ATOT is just an echo chamber for digg about 3 days after anything is posted there.

It takes that long with the broken search to just find out if they were the first one to post the item.

If you go down the street you can see the action shots and at one point one of the dudes is laying on the ground lol.

When you do look up, it looks like the UFOs are behind the powerlines, which would make my explanation invalid - but you do see some really weird computer decisions when merging issues. (I do a fair amount of photo-merging combining multiple stacks of images taken through a microscope, and there have been times when Z-plane artifacts like this are incorporated, like if the droplet wasn't there for one shot but was for another shot, then the two got merged. Just a /guess though.

Man, that was really awesome to look up and see those, though. A real "WTF" moment, especially on the randomly funny pictures of the LARPers... haha

duh, it's just funny to pretend.

I'm not sure if this is the street but there was a street that was scheduled for Google streetview images to be taken and some people found out and decided to do some crazy things on the street so they would be in the pics. There was a marching band, a mad scientist with a laser and something else. I think it is this street in this pic.
Edit - Yup, this is the street, keep going West down Sampsonia way and you'll see a bunch of things...

if you scroll to the left or right (clicking on the direction arrows) you can see them in different action shots

I'd like some maps.google.com URLs for that please. This should be the challenge of the day.

Probably not, but if someone saw the van coming or knew it was in the neighborhood you could start fucking around.

The additional parts are good too.

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

Where's that scene wehre some guy's whipping out a gun?

 

[2Xtreme21]

Wow I am really impressed with all that. Definitely goes with the fact that the Mattress Factory is right down the street (one of the weirdest art museums you'd ever see).
