1. The largest face visible from space 
This is the logo of the famous fast food chain KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken), famous for its fried chicken. The logo depicts Colonel Sanders, the creator of KFC. It took 3,000 hours and 65,000 multi-colored tiles measuring 30 by 30 cm to create the logo. It is located in the Nevada desert near Area 51.
Location: USA, Nevada, Rachel.
Coordinates: 37.646,-115.751 (no longer visible on maps)
2. John Travolta's Home Airport 
John Travolta's Home Airport. It has long been known that American film actor John Travolta is a very eccentric person and an avid pilot. He recently acquired a house with a private airport, which is one of the few non-commercial airports in the world with a runway large enough to land his personal Boeing 707. In the pictures you can see a view of the entire airport and the house, with Boeings parked near it.
Location: USA, Florida, Ocala.
Coordinates: 29.277,-82.119

3. Atlantis ruins on the ocean floor near the Canary Islands? 
Atlantis ruins on the ocean floor near the Canary Islands? The image of the ocean floor is based on the change in the force of gravity of the earth's surface, recorded by special equipment on the Earth's satellite. In any case, this does not explain these strange geometric shapes on the ocean floor. It's a pity that they have not yet learned to take pictures through the multi-kilometer thickness of the ocean.
Location: Atlantic Ocean, about 1000 km from the Canary Islands.
Coordinates: 31.342,-24.548
4. Mig-21 parked in front of a supermarket 
Mig-21 parked in front of a supermarket. People have flown this supersonic fighter jet on four continents in fifty different countries. It is still in service with some of the world's armies, half a century after its first flight. The fact that it is parked in a supermarket parking lot is really weird.
Location: Elsey, Germany.
Coordinates: 51.362,7.558 (no longer on maps)
5. The Gothic Cologne Cathedral in Germany 
The Gothic Cologne Cathedral in Germany was built from 1248 to 1880. Once the tallest building on the planet with a height of 157 meters. Like many cathedrals of its time, it has a cross-shaped plan.
Location: Germany, Cologne.

6. Mel Gibson's personal island - Mango Island 
This island earned its name for its outlines. In 2005, Mel Gibson bought the island for 15 million dollars. This caused a storm of discontent among the descendants of local residents evicted from the island in the 19th century.
Location: Republic of the Fiji Islands.
Coordinates: -17.450,-179.158
7. Tens of kilometers of lined desert in Egypt 
Several tens of square kilometers of desert are covered with lines with a step of 150 meters. The grid lines are strictly verified on the sides of the horizon: north-south. The length of some lines reaches 25 kilometers. There is an assumption that the lines appeared as a result of geological exploration of minerals.
Location: Egypt, 150 km from Cairo.
Coordinates: 29.620,29.722
8. Homer Simpson – Frankenstein – Bender the robot from Futurama?

Location: USA, Washington, Mount Vernon.
Coordinates: 48.430,-122.306
9. Interesting layout of the territory of the village of Veneciola in Spain 
The village of Veneziola is located on a sandy isthmus separating the largest salt lake in Europe, San Menor, from the Mediterranean Sea. No explanation has been found for this layout, apparently it is the whim of the developer.
Location: Spain, in the suburbs of San Javier (San Javie), the village of Veneziola.
Coordinates: 37.776,-0.748
