Meh. No different than seeing jesus in wood grain. I was expecting some kind of man-made structure that hadn't been noticed.

The google one is just one of those things the ycan add if they want when submitting the data. I've seen plenty of things like this.
The TT one is just random smoke. It will show whatever you want it to show. If you turn your head it looks like a cow eating a cabbage.

humans, being social creatures, have brains that are very sensitive when it comes to face recognition, hence we see this

as a face even though it it's really just a couple of dots and a line. it would take much more info for someone to see a stain on a wall or cloud formation as a bicycle or a McChicken sandwich or a pancreas etc
i think the area is in the ancient reptile brain beneath the neocortex, specifically the amygdala iirc

I live close to that area too, just having a hard time finding it.
edit: err. not that A, the J, which doesn't seem to be mapped out as well as central harrisburg.

amygdala's more involved with emotional reactions and modulating memory, though it is involved with primal emotions that arise without conscious assessment.

looks the money spent on my education was wasted
a bit like me while i was in it, actually
perhaps i was thinking of the emotional responses to faces and expressions...
