Member69643 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 <p>I was looking at Google Earth's photo of the Delaware River near Philadelphia, when I noticed a strange artifact. Either there's an underwater airport in the river or somehow this photo got mixed with another...?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 <p>Looks like a crashed plane on the river bed. Why not? Must be hundreds of 'em...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Vongries Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 <p>I came across this elsewhere -- apparently this is a common phenomenon caused by GE's use of stacked photos. There is a nonexistent aircraft in the middle of a lake in downtown Minneapolis, where a crash would certainly have been noticed. Where there are major airports near, this phenomenon can be found.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelChang Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 <p>Satellites are pretty high up in the sky so aircraft flying at much lower altitudes are imaged the same as ground level objects.</p> <p>The slight blur or lack of detail (see the partially obscured wing) might be due to thin high altitude clouds obscuring the satellite's view.</p> <p>The plane appears it might be a <a href="http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-photos/photos/1/1/2/1007211.jpg">Fokker 100</a> or a much smaller corporate jet.</p> <p><strong>[Edit]</strong><br> The photo posted with the question seems to have been removed. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim_foley4 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 <p>Looks like a reflection. You can see blue sky and clouds as well as the plane. The Navy Yard is just North of the Airport.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
