Finally! We have proof that Google is hiding things from us in Alaska, Mexico and New Jersey. Hmmm. Anyway, it's a conspiracy I tell you!

I can say with somewhat certainty that there is nothing odd in the middle of Little Egg Harbor, the "Black Hole" in Jersey's coverage. The water there is pretty shallow, so its unlikely there was something there that was blacked out, like a parked fleet.

I'm not nearly as familiar with the Little Egg Harbor area as I am with the Barnegat Bay/Inlet area slightly to the north, where I'm from. In that last link, you might notice the Oyster Creek Nuclear Power Plant, which I'm fond of making jokes about.

There are a number of interesting things in the immediate vicinity of that Black Hole though.. If from that point, you start going up to the north-west, you will see where most of the US cranberry supply comes from (more). All around that area are parts of Fort Dix and numerous decommissioned bases.. The only stuff that really looks interesting from orbit is the McGuire AFB stuff.

As I'm fond of saying, the entire state might as well be a military base. The best example being the Earle Naval Weapons Station. Check out these Google Maps's links of it: The pier - Landing, offices, and America's most secure baseball field - Lots of parking for a big area of nothing with a bunch of tunnels... - And follow down that secret highway/rail corridor to the main magazine - If you zoom out a decent amount, you will surely notice that the overall Earle complex dominates the area. Zoom out farther, and you notice that the stuff I linked here dominates the state.

Google Maps is endless fun.
