Here's an airfield that I don't think anyone has figured out what it is.

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.

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?
