The main image above right is a Landsat 7 image of the Southern Tip of Florida where the Everglades can clearly be seen colored in light brown, gray and black. The main area of interest in the image is a region of the Everglades called Miccosukee Indian Reservation which can be seen in the enlargement above left.

To confirm more image evidence of these strange patterns in the Everglades, these same features have also been spotted at Microsoft Terraserver in the online aerial image database. All ASTER images shown on this web site are 90m resolution images and are satellite acquired. Image evidence of these same patterns has been confirmed with Microsoft Terraserver aerial images and can be seen to the right at 32 meter resolution.
The area pictured is just to the north of Highway 41 that goes directly through the Everglades National Park. To download a full size image of the original image to the right, click here. |

| It is still uncertain just what these dark areas could be that are seen below in the close-ups of the main image above right. Many of them appear to be filled with water. |

Notice the numerous shapes pictured to the left with many right angles and triangular outlines. The image to the left is of the Miccosukee Indian Reservation in the Everglades. The horizontal line towards the top of the image is Interstate 75 which is also referred to as Alligator Alley. Directly south of this interstate are more large patterns that almost appear to look like the outlines of buildings. Are these patterns signs of some agricultural terraforming?
It's very strange that these patterns exist in areas that are considered formidable swamp land with alligators guarding any anomalies contained there.
Below, view a close-up of the area south of Alligator alley with a side by side comparison with the angular features highlighted in red to the right. |
