That's quite fun, although I don't know how many exactly of them are mystery or extraterrestrial. Since these can presumably be verified on the Google Earth facility, (I haven't checked), I presume they're not just the product of Ye Olde Photoshoppe, but nevertheless I expect that they were probably not created by extraterrestrials trying to tell us something (such, perhaps, as 'Why don't the sharks get as much attention as the dolphins do?'), but by someone of earthly origin. for instance, i'm going to stick my neck out here and surmise that "USA BUSH" was probably done by a redneck with a combine harvester, although, of course, I could be wrong. The chilean one is probably genuine, they did go in for that sort of thing, didn't they.
It's interesting, though, how the Nascar lines do look like runways, isn't it.

Life is a hideous business, and from the background behind what we know of it peer daemoniacal hints of truth which make it sometimes a thousandfold more hideous.
