I've been trying to get a look at the 'Greenland thingy', but am not having much luck. When I enter the coordinates at Google maps (without the N and W, as you instructed), I keep getting flipped to a slightly different set of coordinates, and nothing comes up on the 'maps' tab. I tried clicking on the 'terrain' tab, but the load is slow, so I am going to try from work this evening, as we have speedier internet connections at work.
In the meantime, can you at least briefly describe what you're looking at?
I did exactly what you did, exactly as I had suggested, and...
That's it! You're looking at it.
Just zoom out until you can see the whole enchilada.
Fascinating, eh? :-)
You have the right coordinates. The computer simply switched coordinate format for you.
And when you're zoomed in too close, that pattern is indeed all you see.
Note the scale at the lower left of your image display....
That thing is HUGE....

Hathor - realizing that IS it!

P.S.: When it was still frozen inside the glacier (three years back, before it suddenly "freed itself" by melting the ice), it had been listed by a USGS Client Survey as a gravitational anomaly of unknown nature (ca 1965).
You can probably look that info up in a USGS database somewhere. The fact was noted by the late Frank Edwards in one of his UFO books.
Addendum---
ReplyDeleteWhen entering the given
coordinates for The Big Whatsit, leave off
the "N" and the "W"---just enter the location
as
70.545033, -40.330811
and zoom out to get the picture.
