Google Uncovers Swastika-shaped Government Buildings

First we had Google Maps Street View embarrassing common citizens by capturing hi-res shots of them coming out of strip clubs and picking their noses. (See the top 15 Street View sightings here.)  Now Larry & Sergey are picking on someone their own size: the U.S. Government. 

Google Earth satellite imagery allows users to see the four L-shaped buildings constructed in the late 1960s as part of the Naval amphibious base at Coronado, California that when viewed from above, form the unmistakable sign of a swastika.

Amid some public heat as word of the buildings spread on the Internet, the navy has added $600,000 to its 2008 budget to add landscaping, rock structures and solar panels to mask the shape of the buildings from the air. 

You can check out some cool aerial footage and a story below.
