Why does Google blur out some places on Google Maps/Earth?
Possibly one of the easiest ways to find secret government projects is to look at how well they are hidden in Google Earth. Government agencies, corporations, or private individuals can request that Google block satellite views of their location from Google Earth users. In fact, anyone can type an address on Google Maps, click on the three dots, and then request blurring of the house by providing an email. After completing the captcha validation, Google takes care of your request. Once a blur is requested, it stays there forever.
Google Maps/Earth hidden places
Some requests to “hide” their location are trivial while others can be quite revealing via their intent. Here are several hidden Google Earth locations that are blocked, erased, whited out, or replaced with other images.

This airbase is a NATO hub and rumored to be a testing ground for new technologies.
