It's just different lighting from different satellite images.

#1: What is the music. Kinda interesting.

#2: Why do they have a problem with commas in numbers? I thought that was pretty elementary.

This is going to delight the Creationists.
They're going to immediately hop to conclusions and say, "See? This object is manmade and it's ancient! And you're trying to tell us we didn't come along until after the dinosaurs went extinct!"

Do you mean the title where IGTG for the first time in four YEARS expressed the possibility that some whacko thing he stumbled across might not be 100% true?

There's lots that i share or otherwise present on Dave's which may or may NOT be true. Only a fool would think that because another person "posts" something on-line they are themselves thus convinced it MUST be true Wink

One thing i'm confident of is that all readers seeking truth will for themselves be able to discern & decide what really is & what is not.

As to this seemingly incredible Greenland anomaly, frankly i have no idea.

*shrugs*

It may all prove to be simply one huge digitally generated joke.

Has anyone come across recent related stories or announcements?

Some countries use commas and periods in different ways than the US, slick.

It's the spaceship that carried the Cloverfield monster! Run for the hills! (Viral marketing? Nah.)

Did you notice the big pixels in the object? Have you ever looked at google earth? Fuzzy areas that don't have resolution. They look just like that. Google makes composite images of thousands of images. So we see a glitch. Run for the hills.

Cloverfield:
