to me it appears this may really be some sort of laser weapon but the "et" appears to be smoke

Why do people waste our time with this rubbish.

Google maps has a lot of anomalies like this, many interesting ones too.. but I don't think this is anything more than a camera screw up.

Sorry, but it's just a glitch. When you click the yellow bar, to move southeast once, then rotate the camera right, so the "E.T" and the Truck are in the same frame, you can clearly see that the anomaly is not part of the original image. (Same effect is gained when the camera is rotated almost any way, so the E.T. isn't in the center). Under it, there is a small break in the map, indicating a fault, or glitch in the image.

Or....

Since Freezer mentioned it, if you click south east 'Till you go under the bridge, the E.T. Stays in front of the camera, Wherever the sun is. So, 'tis probably Lens Glare. Which makes sense, lens flare makes a break in an image.

In all seriousness, i agree with the posts above. It is easily explainable.

LOL, and people missed this Gigawatt laser and a smoky alien on a busy highway or simply ignored it ? Ahh these smoking puffy aliens with their pillar wide lasers are everywhere these days....lets drive on

But seriously, the google street view is one of the coolest thing I've seen from these google guys. I feel that future is already here....

Very soon, we'll have full VR cities, true to life and we'll be able to roam and find anything there, even buy things and visit our friends...all on google maps.

Definatly lens flare without a doubt in both cases, but isn't fascinating that google earth has this now, i haven't even had the chance to get into it yet.

And not ONE person is concerned that Google is taking pictures of YOUR house and posting them so anyone can find you?

Methinks that is some sort of lens anomaly. Not actually ET.
