Google Sattelite UFO Photo

This link has been making the rounds, claiming it's a possible UFO caught on the Google sattelite map system.
I can replicate the link by going to West Palm Beach FL and finding the site aside from using the link. I took photo of the area they think is a UFO into photoshop, and it looks just like they blurred an area. So, what do you guys think - is it a map copyright mistake, or a blurred building. I'm not at all familiar with West Palm, so I wouldnt know if there were any critical buildings that they would blur.
For the record, I don't think it's a UFO.

Maegan, try: -
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=33409&ll=26.748308,-80.076953&spn=0.005440,0.008283&t=k&hl=en
If you need to navigate to it, its...
1) goto maps.google.com,
2) search for zip '33409',
3) zoom & pan to the north shore of Lake Mangonia,
4) zoom until you can see 39th & Adams,
5) click 'Satellite'. |

It's a Ramonian Surveillance Drone. I get them over my crib all the time. I warned you a couple of months ago, but NO-oo... You'll see more of them as the Terran solstice nears. You may as well ignore them, cuz what's done is done, and there's not a damn thing you here on Earth can do about it. |

It seems Alex has also posted this on his blog.
It is a little bit odd. And it doesn't seem to be something on the lense like I thought, b/c it gets larger as you zoom in. (Alex's image was still.) Quite bizarre indeed. |

Maegan:
Of course the artifact would get bigger as you zoom in--the Google map satellite photos are just that--still photos--so everything captured on a photo will get bigger if you zoom in, including things that were on the lens at the time the photo was taken.
But that aside, the artifact isn't something on the lens--that's not how things on lenses look.
Winona's idea is interesting--perhaps the area was blurred deliberately? But if so, why is the artifact apparently illuminated by sunlight from the same direction as the sunlight that illuminates the buildings on the ground? |

You think its been bad, check this out...there's three and they make an almost perfect triangle.
Pyramids all over the world, perfect stone spheres in the shape of triangles in Central America, and now this...hmmm

Any three points make a triangle, what's your point? |

If you googlemap to the intersection of Jamaica Drive and Palmwood Road you will find another of these UFOs.
Now (at a decent magnification) move due west, i.e. go left. There is another around 151st Lane North.
Keep going left. There is a half of one just the other side of the Bee Line Highway (over the Pratt-Whitney complex).
Keep going left. Just before the high-res images run out there is another half of one still over the Pratt-Whitney complex.
So whatever they are, either they've got cloaking technology or they ain't solid.
Guess which explanation the UF(ap)ologists will believe? |

actually, i think the reason there are half things on here is that its where the image is put together from smaller images, the images are taken at differnt times, so whatever was on the first image, wasnt on the second one, as in, its moved or been removed depeding on what it is |

Maybe these are water towers?
but that doesn't explain how they are blurred...
*creepy music*
I think these are added in by some prankster. |

This is not obviously true of the two halFOs(tm) mentioned (here and here). The 'objects' appear to blend into the background rather than be cropped. |

Has anyone tried to ask Google if they know what these things are, or asked Google whether they can ask whoever supplies the images to Google?
The halFOs(tm) (nice to see you registered that trademark properly, so someone doesn't steal it!) aren't cut off due to different photos stitched together, since each halFO is entirely contained within a single photo, as shown by the shadows-- stitched-together photos will show obvious shadow diferences and a dividing line (at least most of them).
Taking another look at these, it looks almost as if these are droplets on the inner surface of the glass covering that protects the satellite's camera lens from the vacuum of space. Even the halFOs could be such droplets, since they could look like they're cut in half only because they're simply more of a streaky droplet than a perfectly round one. Maybe the satellite needs an interior window washer. |

These are clearly not a defect in the lens or water droplets as previously suggested. That would be a valid conclusion if it were not for the incredible distance at which these photos were taken. Have you ever noticed that you can take a photo from behind a fence, like that of a baseball diamond, and if you're focused on one of the players or anything else in the distance, you cannot even tell that the fence was in your way, due to the focus angle. A droplet of water would certainly not show up as these "anom-Oleys"(tm) do. They would be virtually undetectable when viewing the entirety of the picture, but would render entire cities substaintially blurred, not small objects like houses or water towers. Again, due to the focus, it can't be something as low as a water tower. My guess, due to the degree of blur, is that these objects are aproximately 20,000 ft off the ground. Perhaps even higher. Cloud cover rarely sinks below 10,000 ft and we have examples elsewhere of clouds quite clear. For these objects, UFO's and halFO's(tm) to be so significantly blurred yet as well defined as they are, they have to be at about that alititude. What they are, I don't know. Ufo's, halFO's(tm), planted gov't items to distract the wary from the "real" unexplained, just like Area51. After all, everyone knows the real place with Ufo's and high tech alien gadgetry is in Area 52! |

Perhaps someone spilled (insert your beverage of choice here) on the scanner when they digitized the satellite images. |

"Oh, they're hiding alien technology at Area X, you know!" Hah! Area-shmarea, they're using that alien technology to compress dimensions, silly! It's line-segment 51 we ought to be looking for! |
