Maybe there's something to the "Google sphere" mystery after all, although I still beg to differ with Strieber's proclamation that the first discovered "object" is a "confirmed" UFO.

Oh, who am I kidding? THEY'RE HERE! RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!

I never thought they were grid marks -- grid marks are finer, less fuzzy, and tend to be linear. They also don't look like lens flaws because they appear in too many of the photomaps. They DO, however, strike me as being somewhat "balloonlike." (If they're NOT balloons or some similar kind of terrestrial-origined object, then we are indeed up Shit's Creek.)

My thought is that the same aircraft took numerous photos in sequence; that would account for the number of flaws.

It might also account for the "gridlike" distribution.

Exactly, since planes typically fly in straight lines.

A final thought on this. If it is a lens flaw, then ALL of the "objects" should be exactly the same size when the photomaps are viewed at the same scale or magnification. In fact, this little experiment if successful would absolutely nail the fact that it's a lens flaw.

why do they look like water drops?

"why do they look like water drops?"

Probably because they really are water drops trapped in the camera housing of the plane that took these pictures -- although that's still just a hypothesis as far as I know.
