UFO locations and Google Earth

Hi All :)

Unusually for me, I found myself with some time on my hands, and was looking/matching UFO locations on Google Earth.

I am sure this MUST came up before - I do vaguely remember a few posts.

I have found quite a few places: Pinewood Studios, Elstree (Harlington-Straker Film Studios HQ), Black Park, etc. etc.

I just wondered if anyone else may have already done all this and had made the locations available? If not, I will carry on until I have them, all, and them make the Google Earth location overlay available to anyone that's interested.

Hope you all had a pleasant Easter.

Regards, Griff

I remember that we pinpointed the tree seen when Straker was driving
the Model-T in A QUESTION OF PRIORITIES. And certainly,
there have been a book or two about UFO shooting locations. But I
don't recall anyone putting together a Google map of multiple points
of interest. Sounds like a good project!

Hi Marc,

Yes, now you mention it, it's all coming back to me. I'll search through myarchive and put a list together of the places already covered.

I have about 10 places "Google Earth'd" so far, but I'll work on this over the next few days. I haven't used Google Earth enough to know much about sharing places of interest to 'Groups', but I know it's possible as a few of my old companies' have done this, and apparently it's possible to subscribe...

I'll start a new thread in the meantime with the places I have so far.

Thanks for 'endorsing' this idea - if that's the right word. I have an appalling memory, and I figure if you aren't aware of this happening before, then it can't have done...

Regards, Griff

Note that Fanderson has a page devoted to shooting locations, which
might be helpful:

There is also a book "A Guide to Avengerland" by Tony McKay and
Chris Bentley, which I have a copy of... it never meant a whole
lot to me, since I've never been to these places!

This is the parking lot where Straker meets Nina Barry in
the same episode. You may also see the church in front of
the parking lot:
