Look at this freaky thing I found on Google Maps (PIC) - GoFuckYourself.com

I've seen aircraft shadows before (really artifacts due to movement), but never one like this, with one part sharp and the other blurred. The aircraft size also looks out of proportion to the objects on the ground. Freaky!

Red Ezra · 08-12-2007, 08:17 AM

that's weird and you might have too much time to play around on google maps like this - have fun

Sosa · 08-12-2007, 08:21 AM

almost looks like a scene out of a video game

You betcha. I use it to help find potential sites to photograph. I have over 60,000 image tiles to review... or if it were a single flat image, 3.9 gigapixels worth of data

Vitasoy · 08-12-2007, 10:14 AM

That is pretty darn cool.

Just another sprinkling of free publicity by google... anything you see that is "odd" on google maps, is intentially so.

stillsexy · 08-12-2007, 10:57 AM

yea...there is always a reason why they do that...

gecko · 08-12-2007, 10:58 AM

That is neat

DaddyHalbucks · 08-12-2007, 12:00 PM

Interesting, strange color for a shadow, looks more like a reflection.

Clark Miller · 08-12-2007, 01:22 PM

Hmm... publicity, really? I halfway believe that.

KILL_FRENZY · 08-12-2007, 02:11 PM

It's not really a shadow, it's an artifact of the way the image is captured. If the object is moving at speed then it shows twice.

Lonely immortal · 08-12-2007, 04:13 PM

I saw one like that of a 747 a while back it was flying somewhere over England

Intricate · 08-12-2007, 04:21 PM

What are the coordinates?

looks like the plane reflected light up to the USGS plane flying over taking pictures and made the rainbow reflection.

Uh, it's in Australia, and those "rainbow" colours are the livery of Virgin Blue aircraft.

I wonder how high the aerial photograph aircraft fly - this location isn't too far from Melbourne Airport...

rapmaster · 08-12-2007, 07:11 PM

maybe it's just 2 aircraft at different altitudes

M0nk · 08-12-2007, 08:35 PM

is that supposed to be a real plane!???

steved · 08-12-2007, 08:39 PM

That's where my impressionist ground painting of a passenger plane went!

potter · 08-12-2007, 09:26 PM

yeah that looks a little weird.

Google maps has some weird things in it... near my house it goes from winter to summer square to square, and the streets don't exactly line up. I think they try to fuzz it a bit sometimes to make it less obvious.

If you look around Monaco, and try to trace out the F1 track, it gets really fucky where the tunnel is, a whole chunk of the city isn't right.
