Flying Car Captured on Google Earth
The Student Operated Press ^ | 1/23/06 | Joey O'Donnell

Posted on 01/24/2006 7:38:11 AM PST by dware

Recently, on Google’s satellite photo transmitter “Google Earth,” in the Australian city of Perth, a flying car was caught on camera— levitating. How in the world is that possible? To date, not much is known about the topic, but here’s some information that was released about it.

According to the Channel Register’s (a European online news source) Oz photo interpretation bureau, the vehicle in question, described by Clinton Bird—a professor of architecture and abstract identification at the University of Auckland, is at an altitude of three or four meters and doing about 80 knots. That data rules out rocket powered turbofan outrigger engines, favored by the Moller Corporation (a corporation devoted to the development of flying, turbofan powered cars).

This leaves just one possible explanation: Australians have developed a gravity-busting engine— by putting a huge rotating ring above a super conducting coil and pumping enough electric current through the coil, resulting in a large magnetic field that will "reduce the gravitational pull on the ring to the point where it floats free". This anti-grav engine, bolted onto a second-hand Holden, is seen here in the split second before their X-Motor made the trans-dimensional leap to hyper light speed.

I almost want to file this under humor. Perhaps I am missing something here...

Looks more like a water tanker that is towed and then raised at or near a location to provide gravity fed water. This is normally done at a construction site.

If in fact it is a car at all- which is less than a certainty- the most likely explanation is that it is sitting mounted off the ground on a post or a pole for some weird reason. I have seen all kinds of weird things on posts used as signs to promote roadside businesses.

Water or a gravel/frac sand supply.

Google Earth Odessa, TX, west side. You'll see a thousand of them.

If you look close enough, you can see the pylons holding it up, or maybe I'm just seeing things. In any event, I think you're right.

Maybe they happened to catch a car in the midst of rolling during an accident. The forces generated in a car accident can easily throw the car many feet into the air.

I'm voting for "very interesting coincidence" on this one.

Well I am an experienced imagery interpreter, and I can tell you that I plainly see legs supporting the "car".

I would guess most folks here have seen that too, since it practially jumped right out at me.

Looks like a black car parked next to a white car.

Looking at it again, I could see it as simply a billboard with dark areas that make it appear like a car too.
