Hmm..

1) There are plenty of anomalies on Google Earth.

2) The Sun did THIS as an April Fools joke when they regularly post ridiculous articles?

3) The Sun manufactured a fake image to put in Google Earth and Virtual Earth?

I'm confused.

Wow found it on google Earth.

It's cool. it's exactly 30 m in diameter.
You can see it is flying in a NW direction from the long wake. You can also see circular waves in front of the directin it is flying. That's pretty strange.

As an April Fool we reported that eagle-eyed internet surfers picked out the mysterious saucer hovering over the Bristol Channel, south west of Barry.

However the round object was just the top of a water outlet for a power station.

Did they just update this post??

It says its a joke!!

yes and as i pointed out 6 posts back ....it is a water inlet !!!!

i really do hate april fools day, it causes so much trouble for sites like this

Yes, because a) it was a joke and b) traditionally we only plays such jokes until midday

I dunno. I find it quite informative. People wanted to believe it was a UFO and so became defensive and dismissive towards alternative explanations. The same happens on ATS every day.

But today, we get to see that the alternative explanation is proven correct. Maybe some people might learn from this? Jumping to a conclusion because you want the conclusion to be true is not always the best course of action.

However, it's always possible The Sun has been nobbled by the Reptilians and been forced to pretend it was an April fool's joke ......

They got me....:-D

Bloomin sun.. should've known really.

Just realised that I typed in the edit didnt come up... hmm.

Checked on Google Earth what I was refering to and theres nothing worth showing anyone. Im still convinced its a stucture in the water though, nothing more, it looks like concrete. Id hazard a guess at saying it must be at least 15feet in diameter also.

I didnt realise the thread had gone into 2 pages or else I wouldnt have said that how I did.

An april fools had me earlier, was about a large hill we've got in our area (which is kind of pyramid shaped) actually being a buried pyramid and some archeologist was coming to excavate it. I didnt realise it was April 1st though when I was reading it, bloody thing had me excited as hell!

*feels a little silly*




*giggles*

edit-A mad has to change this to "Google water tower,seen near Wales"

Today might just be a good day to shut down ATS altogether for maintenence and upgrades if needed.

If you see an internet link let meknow - I need to stop Sam Osmanagic ('discoverer' of the Bosnian 'pyramids') from seeing it - or the story might come true! LOL!

I really do fear for people.....
