25 Mysterious Places Google Earth Doesn’t Want You to See

Mobil Oil Corporation Facilities, Buffalo, New York

Unlike other location where threat and security are main reasons for censorship, it is unclear why Mobil Oil Corporation Facilities in Buffalo, New York shows as a blurry blob on the map.

US Air Force Ramstein Airforce Base, Germany

Dubbed as one of the most important US Air Force Base for America’s ‘war on terror’, this place is often ignored by media. However, the attention of blurring its images on Google Earth is probably one of the indications of its importance.

This Random Patch of the Pacific Northwest

Szazhalombatta Oil Refinery, Hungary

It is odd to see just patches of green(like a huge baseball field) on an area that is supposed to contain tanks and valves of oil. Thus, it can’t stop people from wondering, what’s the big deal?

Babylon, Iraq

Babylon was a once famed ancient city that was witness to many wars that almost tore it apart. Iraqi officials wanted to open this site as a tourist destination, though. It is quite hard to understand, then, why Google Maps is not allowed.
