Which is the most interesting sight you have ever seen on Google Earth? Answered

Area 51

the successful removal of my street from google earth and google streetview after a short battle with the creeps at google.

This:

I heard there was a controversial landmark a mile or so east of Disney World Florida... But I don't have Google Earth handy right now...

My house,
The aircraft bone yards in Arizona (?)
The off site nuke storage bunkers outside what used to be Carswell AFB.
Most any large city
Most any high detail unpopulated area
Disney world
Most any airport
Anywhere in Italy
London
NY,NY
The little (not anymore) farm town I spent some of my youth in
Coral Island, Blackpool
Central pier
South pier
West pier

Just about anyplace you look.  I get mesmerized by all of the detail available on GE.

Being able to look over my own back fence......., and see the rust spots on my car. :(

I'm a big fan of environmental damage, places like abandoned nuclear power plants, strip mining sites, chat piles, old neighborhoods abandoned due to POPs in the soil, that sort of thing. Some links:
