Default Strange Bubbles near Kuwait/Iraq Border

Hi everybody!

I was surfing around basrah and did find weird things on an island near the iraq/kuwait border.

does anybody know, what this strange landmark could be? Looks like meteor craters or some military installation. Fuel tanks?

please let me know.

thanks a lot!

maybe they are bombs or i think they are scud rocets which were shooted by patriot rocets or target-failed scud rocets. because the us army moved from kuwait to iraq and i heard in the news that the were shooted by iraqi scud rocets but they all were hitten ( wurden abgefangen) by american patriot rocets (flugabwehr, aber halt auch raketenabwehr)

Ithink so too, maybe they have been filled with salt water on each tide so they apper so white. Just the salt inside.

Beautiful colours indeed.

I must admit that they are strange, but what I found EXTREMELY interesting was a larger bubble about 2000 feet directly West of those ones.

It's really bright, and there seems to be a shadow of a mushroom cloud inside it.

Could it be that I have discovered an active bombing captured by a satellite. Please someone refute this.

Eerie!
