I remember when you first told me this story. It's still a great story, even in the retelling.

That was amusing, thanks for sharing your first hand alien contact experience. :)

I'm the kind of guy who likes to search for things like these in Google Earth: UFOs, secret aircraft, ancient ruins in Antarctica, and stuff like that. Didn't know about this "UFO" though until now.

If you're interested, here is another still unsolved Google Earth UFO mystery, that I found in India at the Jodhpur Airport:

So happy I found this story. Thanks for sharing Charles, love how it intersects scientific curiosity with a benign example of social media misunderstanding something… too often not the case!
