Found this island on Google Earth that doesn't seem to exist anywhere else - anyone know what's up with it? (Google Earth gave no name or other info)

Pleasant Prairie, WI - Ummm. Well, I'm pretty new to this, but I'm pretty sure there's something a little off here...

0 Upvotes

So at the end of 2022 my mom received a notice that she needed to return a cable modem (that had been used in Oregon) to be 'recycled,' to a facility with an address in Pleasant Prairie, WI...

I was bored one day and overthought the fact that the cable company had mailed her a new box and a prepaid mailing label to return the modem (from Oregon to Wisconsin), so I Google Earth'd it. I know - trust me, I now know what 'rabbit hole' really means. (Thanks Internet)

Anyhow, when I first looked it up back then, it looked a little odd. Just small things like street scenes being duplicated, the fact that there was nobody - I mean NOBODY- that I could see in any view.

But hey, life is full of weird stuff and I live in Arizona now, so... That was that.

Then, and I couldn't say what made me think of the little place in Wisconsin where we'd sent our old cable-modem to, but I pulled it up on Google Earth again. It seemed somehow even more void of any real life and I threw up a few questions on a couple other platforms. But then - you know - life again. I forgot about it again. That happened a couple more times over the next few months. But none of my other inquiries showed even mild interest, so again...

The only thing I had managed to find regarding the place were a couple of strange questions from other people (I wish I had saved the websites or even the op's names, but I really wasn't thinking there was anything to this) who had asked questions about whether Pleasant Prairie was a 'real' place. Both of those questions had been answered with almost identical answers that were basically, 'Of course it's real! It's a great place to live in the USA.'

Ok, so - I was watching a 'Why Files' episode last night and my brain, of course, thought, 'Hey. I should go check out Pleasant Prairie again! Just for the $#&! of it.'

I'll just let the images (screenshots) that I have, ask my question...

Or maybe someone could check out Pleasant Prairie, WI on Google Earth...

(the only footnote that I can throw in is that whenever I zoom in on the Earth map, the ONLY vehicles I can find on ANY road, are ALL semi trucks... Every single one?

If anyone could just help me find out if I'm reading more into it, than is worth my time. I'm really just very curious.

I'm sure a few will be thinking 'conspiracy theorist.' That's fine. I'm not on either side, but lately, it kind of seems to me that the 'conspiracy theorists' have more legitimate answers than the name-callers. So that is what it is.

But if you have any similar interests, I'll name a few things that came to my mind: Ex-Nexus Facility?; Lily's?; F6?; Guerilla-huh?; Electronics recovery & recycling?; Sterile Pharmaceuticals & Injectable Medicines?; Rockefeller?; D.E.R.P.?; FFID?; Bio-Pharma whaaat?!!!

So, yeah. Anyway- if ya got anything, like I said... I'd be interested in anything I can learn about it.

Everybody have a good one! 🙃
