Also, here's a bulls eye in the middle of nowhere (north of the airfield I just linked) spotted with bomb impact marks.

The bullseye is for training. But the airfield is either a decommissioned, unfinished, or underconstruction airfield. Note the unfinished building site to the south east along that road.

It's a form of farming where crops are planted radially instead of in rows.

no there were green circles to the northeast. pretty big ones. zoom out enough and u will see them

Those are irrigated fields.

Quoting because people are apparently ignoring my post.
The irrigators are booms with wheels on one end and a pivot at the other.. they roll in a circle.

Those are some cool looking links! As I'm sure a lot of ya'll know I live right outside DC, so I see the pentagon all the time- but the Texas/plane pictures and the "ghost car" shots where aweseom. Definate time waster for me. I don't know if that's a good thing.

I know that Google Maps and Google Earth use map data from Tele Atlas (among other providers), do they get satellite imagery from them as well? Are those government satellites?

Some awesome links.. Keep them coming. My co-workers and I love it.

I never knew the Space Needle looked exactly like the Hoover Dam from above!

Edit:
I always thought it looked more like this.
