My apologies if this is in the wrong place and although I have been a member since 2004 I like to stay in the background and read the various threads and subjects.

I thought today using Google Maps that I would explore an area of Canada that I visited in 1989, Wainwright in Alberta to be exact however not all the area is covered except one of the main highways to the north so I clicked / dragged on the little yellow man and settled down to having a small but brief wander and in less than one step I saw this.

Its not in the frame before or the frame after so hopefully this should link correctly, if not I have taken 2 screen grabs.







Assuming the Google mapping cars move at a relative speed the object in question must have been in and out in a small amount of time maybe even something on the windscreen perhaps although using the UFO word might be a bit strong lol

If this post is in the wrong place then to the mods please move it accordingly.

If they don't display correctly can anyone help with the linking process or the

The windscreen is pretty dirty and the object seems closer rather than far away. I could imagine people throwing stuff at the Google camera cars for a laugh, maybe if you could pan left or right you could determine if it came from a direction.

G'day excelents

Why don't you consider moving this to the Aliens & UFOs forum?

You could send the mods an alert & ask for that, if you would like to.

Kind regards

I moved forward by one click and swung around to the left to see if an object had fallen to the ground. Then I noticed this broken and floating image of one of the street lamps on that stretch of road.

Could this explain the OP's image?

Yes, as Google Streetview is made up of many pictures joined together these artifacts are not uncommon, many have been posted here before

It looks like it's casting a shadow of itself into thin air. Now, unless I'm mistaken, this breaks a few laws of physics. My guess would be something close to the camera/windscreen.

Hi thanks for the replies but I have asked in the OP that if it is in the wrong place then could the Mods move it accordingly. It could be anything or nothing in the picture but I was just having mooch about the area I visited in 1989.

Pan right of where the picture is and there is a scrapyard that I visited for a number plate as a souvenir odd I know but the lad's wanted one for displaying above the bar back in the UK when I was a Soldier at the time and we were part of a 6 week tour at Fort Wainwright.

Strange, though most likely a camera thing.

I looked at Google Earth, and found the streetview this pic comes from. It`s the very same picture, the clouds are identical, the vehicle in front is the very same, it is definitely the same picture, but... the object isn`t there.

Even the two spots of dirt on the windscreen either side of the object are in the very same position, but no object.
