If you are on a windows machine with a fast internet access, you have to try [url]Google Earth application[/url]. It creates a zoomable 3D earth textured with satelite data. Ita lso has height data, so you can tilt tha camera and look at the horizon ( very effective in Grand Canyon or any place in Norway

)

But I warn you: Ive Wasted about 7 hours in this app in just 2 days :S

Looks like a meteor to me. How often are the pics updated on google earth?

Doesn't seem a ufo to me, I guess it's just a huge pole or whatever with a sandbank next to it, it's near a harbour. 55.640409327 13.0146555622

But the detail of this program is damn very good, you can also see buildings in 3d, and you can see hills in 3d, even the craters of the nuclear test area near area51 has holes in 3d. Much better then maps.google, however it's the same photos lol, but the zoom levels are much bigger.

Have a look at Area 51, u can just read the numbers of the runways and more!: 37.2416737246 -115.818793691

Or have a visit at sadams most important palice:
33.7210624034 43.4898073944

I like it!

Just enter the coordinates in the serach "fly to" search option

Do you mean a .KMZ or KML file? Just add a placemark (see rightdown corner) at a coordinate, then you can go to File > safe as.

Here is my home. How do you copy/paste the coordinates?

Click here for kmz file

If you zoom out a little you can see Altus Airforce Base and the cargo planes they use to teach the crews. You can also see KC135 air refuel planes in the northern part of the base--I use to work on them.
