Google Satellite Maps Captures UFO

The Google Maps satellite map of Magnolia Park, Florida shows a clear view of an unusual object floating above 39th Street in the town.
The shadow on the object is similar to the shadows on the ground, meaning that it is in the atmosphere relatively close to the surface, probably no higher than 20,000 feet.

There are no towers or unusual objects in the area that could account for the formation, which appears to be in rapid vibrational movement. Because of the unusual motion visible on its surface, it is not likely that this is a balloon.

Without knowing its distance from the ground, it is impossible to determine the size of the object, but it would seem to be quite large, even huge.

Calls to individuals living in the area and a search of news sources for 2005 revealed no reports of UFOs over Palm Beach or Magnolia Park this year. The last National UFO Reporting Center report for Palm Beach was in 1999.

This is a confirmed unknown object in the air above a populated area in the United States, recorded sometime in 2005.

Those maps are NOT satellite maps. They are taken from airplanes. They are not alien space craft either.

[SpursWoman]

Maybe the satellite got some stardust on it's lens..... :lol

Spoil-sport. :lol

[Bandit2981]

What do you think it is? It may not be alien, but it sure is a UFO

[Useruser666]

No they are not UFOs.

[Bandit2981]

Then what is it?

[MannyIsGod]

lol, how can it not be a UFO if it's casting a shadow? Bandit just said he didn't say it was an alien but it definetly is an Unidentified Flying Object.

[SpursWoman]

Where's the shadow?

[MannyIsGod]

Possibly the current forerunner for most likely explanation, Stuart said…

Condensation inside some sort of housing would be my guess. If the drop were directly on the lens it would be effectively invisible. Put it a few inches/feet away and have the camera shooting with a very deep depth of field (as you would with a small aperture) and it would look just like that anomaly.


Maybe it's NOT a UFO.

It may be a UFO to you and Bandit, but not to the people who can identify it. :lol

I'm not a nut, but in all seriousness, something is out there. I'm not saying it's little green men from Mars, but what is it? If it's showing up on radar, if the military doesn't know what it is and our government has an on-going investigation into it, it's not just weather balloons.

Along the same lines, my grandmother saw a UFO at very close range many years ago, when my dad and his siblings were in high school (so about 30-40 years ago??). She was coming out of a women's church meeting and it came down and hovered over the parking lot, then took off. She had a good friend at the time who was a police officer who also witnessed one around the same time: it hovered over his patrol car for just a few seconds, then took off. This was in Texas City or Alvin or someplace like that, I can't remember where they used to live. She said there were lots of sightings for a while. I know my grandmother doesn't make stupid shit up, so this is someone I consider a very credible eye witness. It's just interesting, is all I'm saying.

I think the water drop explanation fits. The article says there is a shadow, but I can't find one.

[B.AlMighty]

It looks to me like a falling sky light of some sort!!!

[Bandit2981]

I thought about the water droplet, but one thing puzzles me...Why wouldn't the circle be clear, or at least provide a distorted or warped semi-transparent image since water droplets are clear? Even a few feet away, it doesn't seem right that a clear droplet would look like that. I dunno, it looks like a solid non-transparent object, maybe some kind of unmanned military thing they are doing. Who knows.

[SWC Bonfire]

This is obviously the mother ship of the Water Droplet People. Any day now, they are going to decend from above and saturate everything, an attempt climatize the surface of the Earth to better suit their own sick, demented purpose. :lol

[Bandit2981]

Any day now, they are going to decend from above and saturate everything
Except Bexar County, where all water droplets falling from the sky are futile!!

[Useruser666]

There are several instances of it. But who said it was flying? You guys jump to conclusions! :lol

Here's your answer! :lol

That google sightseeing blog is pretty sweet.

It's the terrorists.

I'd expect one of those War of the Worlds alien walker thingys to take a big sqwat out of those clouds!

Those pictures are fucking awesome. I've never seen mammatus that pronounced. Nice.

My girlfriend's fiance is a chief meteorologist in Wichita City. Whenever tornado storms or hurricanes hit, she says he's got a "weather wood".

[Notorious H.O.P.]

That's pretty sweet. Looks like something Dali might paint.

And I'm talking about the clouds although Dali would probably paint "weather wood" also.

[Notorious H.O.P.]

I'm looking at it and I'm thinking water droplet. If the satellite is positioned between the sun and the earth, it would explain why there is a bright white color on one side (light from the sun) and blue-ish color on the other side (blue reflection of the earth).

Uh, if it were a water droplet, then it would be on the lense of a camera that was on a plane not a satellite. Since satellites are in space and stuff. :lol

Fair enough, satellite/plane, I haven't read how any of that information is gathered. But the same principle still applies. The idea served as a possible explaination of the "phenomena" or anomoly (see, you learn crap by watching Star Trek). But I had wondered about the whole satellite/plane business. The formation of a water droplet would be more likely in a plane mounted camera vs satellite mounted.

Maybe I wasn't clear before. Satellites can't possibly have water droplets on their lenses because they are in space. There is nothing in space, no water, no clouds, nothing. It can only have been on a plane based camera, if it was in fact a water droplet.

Hey! But I said star dust! :lol

That pic was taken over Sequ's place after a night of eating Mexican food with corn! :drunk

That could be the top view of a hot air ballon.
