Hey guys (and gals)! If you remember, few months ago we posted mysterious Swastika building captured with Google Earth. Well, today I found an email in my mailbox (that by accident got caught in spam folder) from Miguel Valenzuela. This guy spotted something much more interesting browsing that location with Google Maps. The results he sent, shad a whole new light on the meaning of swastika building illusion. Can you also see two bomber airplanes and a bomb crater field? And when I remember we almost accused the poor architect of being a Nazi fan, while in fact he only wanted to create a monument symbolizing defeat of Germany’s evil regime.
This is what Miguel added: “I know this is old but I saw your posting after identifying it by myself on Google earth. If you look to the left you’ll see two other buildings that look like bombers. If you look to the right you’ll see a playing field that looks like bomb craters. Maybe it was set up as a visual illusion to show the symbolism of destroying Germany and just leaving craters. I guess you can do a lot with these things.”
P.S. From your comments, I understood you people dislike payed reviews, so I can give you my word there won’t be any un-targeted reviews from now on! We only posted them 3 of them in this fiscal year, but I have to listen what my audience says, so I promise no more unrelated article advertising from now on! Hurray! Hope you appreciate what I decided…

Here is more on the origins of the swastika. Interesting it was alive and well in Germany for positive reasons before the Nazis coopted it for their evil empire.

Thats the same place as in the other mysterious swastika building, you can see the craters in the field and the corner of the bomber buildings.
OMG I live by there
To all you people asking where it is…. DUH – the coords are written in the bottom left corner.

Do you people ever actually look at the pics?
Oh, and please try to keep this site to illusions. We already have googlesightseeing.com for this kind of thing.
This is an odd building, but to add to the strangeness, its in san diego bay in the US Naval Amphibious base named Coronado. Its supposed to just be an oversight.
being jewish, it offends me that people are booing this illusion. i personally think it’s an awesome memorial to build, because it symbolizes the defeat.
people need to be careful about what they say on here, cause it can end up hurting others.
Did anyone else actually look this up on Google Earth? I did, and from looking at the surrounding area it appears to be a millitary base in San Diego Bay
I don’t know why everyone is getting so mad about this not being first because who cares? its a real cool picture and second because it is an illusion, its some building that look like bomber planes and a swastika.
natzi sign!!!!
those craters are only basaball yards and the smallest are irragation’s devices tracks
I don’t get it what am i seeing here? can someone expain?

Okay,
It looks weird. But hey..if you look to the left of the “craters” there is a building that looks like that thing. The umm, whats it called? The naughtsi err, somwthing like that. I AM JUST A KID. I don’t know what it’s called. xD

Oh look! Maybe he was a tetris fanatic too because I see a couple tetris pieces. I mean c’mon! I added this site to my igoogle, but due to lame things like this THAT AREN’T OPTICAL ILLUSIONS, I’m pretty sure I’m taking it off.
Its unfortunate that the swastikas place in history has been forever tarnished by the events of over 60 years ago. the swastika is thousands of years old and is found in almost every culture and still revered by many today. The story goes that Hitler adopted what was a good luck symbol after been wounded during WW1, he was blinded by gas and while recovering in an old castle he heard of the german surrender and when the bandages were removed from his eyes, the first thing he saw was a old carved swastika and he took that was being some sort of sign. the rest is history. suggest reading the wikipedia article on the swastika.
Dam nazies. LOL! XD
its JUST SOMBODY TAKEING A PUETUR FRM UPIN A PLAN! PIESE AWSER
DID ENYBODY SEE THE WIND MILL
If you look to the bottom, or south of the Swastika you can see what appears to be a hand held up as it is a Heil Hitler salute with the thumb being the first finger right close to the building.
