You don't see cars on google earth either, unless there's a glitch.
Large cattle herds get blurred in a weird way that prevents counting the number of animals. I ran across this when looking at imagery [1] of the recent quarter-billion-dollar (yes, with a "b") ghost cattle fraud in Grant County, WA [2]. That's right, I said ghost cattle.
I think it's only safe to assume something will definitely be left in satellite imagery if it's in the same spot 100% of the time.

- stickfigure 5y agoInteresting! But I don't think this is it. I searched for some reference to this behavior and found this: https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=18188.0 https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=18188.0 ...which seems to check out. Cars disappear from roads (but not parking lots) only when I turn on 3D mode ("Globe view"). In normal mode, I see all the cars on freeways around Marin. Plus there are boats showing... just not 100.
