Google Maps Catches Wwii Ghost

[Jared Moya]

UPDATE, 1/16/2006: Google maps catches flying car racing across Australia!

Eagle-eyed Internet sleuths have discovered hundreds of weird aircraft on Google Maps' satellite views, from stealth bombers to bizarre globular UFOs hovering over Florida.

But a map-watcher in England may have topped them all by finding a ghost from World War II captured by satellite cameras flying over his own house.

The mystery plane is a historic and flightworthy Avro Lancaster bomber, one of only two left on Earth.

Now living at the United Kingdom's Coningsby air force base, the Lancaster is one of only two such planes still airworthy. 7,377 of the massive bombers were built for World War II.

Although this Lancaster didn't fly in combat -- the war with Japan ended before it was ready for battle -- it was one of the only Lancasters that wasn't scrapped in the post-war years.

Probably something as simple as a spec of dust flying by the camera either in space or in the atmosphere. Because if im mistaken they are satelite and arial photographs. If it isnt one of those 2 things its just a glitch in the photography.

Nope I am 100% certain it was a ufo.

It could also be a weather or hot air balloon

somebody colored the black and white satellite images

maybe they got bored and added some interesting stuff

it's not like the wwwii plane doesn't look 100% cartoony and fake, but let's say they caught one on the way to an airshow (even though the satellite would have focused right past it like a camera would taking a picture through a chain link fence at a baseball game)
