- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Well, given that there are 340,000 members of the Google Earth Forums (http://bbs.keyhole.com), and untold (because Google hasn't announced numbers yet) tens of millions of Google Earth users, it's really not all that surprising that there are actually lots of dedicated Google Earth blogs and web sites. See the list of links here: http://www.gearthblog.com/reference.html
- matx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I like to think its a flying car :D
- LtJimDangle2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'll believe it when the mythbusters tell me to
- nevillediggs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0obviously its another car there ... the angle the pictures taken make the black car look like an anomaly :)) .... come on guys ... we cannot be so desperate to have unexplained mysteries
- grendel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0not 2 cars
1. several other black car in the adjacent lot show curves by the bending of the sunlight and show light spots where light relects off the surface. The black object in question shows NO light reflection.
2. Why are these two cars parked in this direction (angular) outside of a lot with many open spaces? - Mark_H, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0There is a black car in the parking lot that you can see reflections on. I agree with grendel...why no reflections on the one by the car in the field?

You're daffed, you can't see anything of the sort on google local.
I'm not buying the "white car / black car" theory any more than I'm buying the "flying car" theory. I'm mor inclined to beleive it's just a single white car, and the displaced shadow giving it the illusion of flying is the result of some photographic anomaly. I'd love to hear from a satellite photography expert on this one. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Whoops...the link is this:

Here's a link: Google Local shot of "flying car" - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The reason there are no reflections on the "shadow" black car is that it is parked at a different angle. The angle of the sun on the windows doesn't result in a reflection. Also, I believe the "shadow" car is actually a small pickup (another reason why you don't see a back window reflection).
If you look closely, you can also see a shadow under the white car. - wtfunkymonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I remember being quite baffled (though extremely skeptical) by this picture before, after reading this -- heh.
Seems so simple now. Hurrr.
