It is a little odd, but what you're seeing in that photo is glare from the sun's refection on the gleeming metal of the aircraft. The metal of the aircraft in that picture is very shiny and nearly mirror reflective, causing the blurry artifact. I've seen the exact same effect when I've taken pictures of trucks with chrome bumpers on clear day in very sunny conditions. (I live in Florida, so such sunny conditions are not unusual here.)

Looks like John Lear was right. "Hologram planes used on 911".

The hologram effect comes from the various sources google uses to gets it images. Im not sure but i think pictures are taken by satelitte as well as plane then puzzled together. As the satalitte and plane take images at different times the images, when put together, are slightly off.

Best bet is to ask someone on ats who knows how it works, lot of smart people on this site so you should get the answer from somewhere.

Well some of them look like holograms but there the one of the plane parked near 2 mansions it kinda looks like some sort of glitch maybe

My hypothesis:

The satellites take multispectral measurements using multiple exposures; the final image is a synthetsized composite. The satellites relative velocity w.r.t. ground is compensated in the optics & software. It is not designed to track rapidly moving objects at different speed from ground. When it does (an aircraft in flight) the relative motion creates a color blur from the multiple exposures.

Note this is only from educated guesses about the engineering system, I do not have personal knowledge of such technology.

Alternative hypothesis:

The aircraft was reflecting the Sun directly into the sensor, resulting in a strong internal reflection and you see chromatic aberration in the optics. Note the strongest color fringes near the flat top surfaces of wing and rear elevators which may have the geometry to reflect.
