or could it be a lantern lol

its a cracking picture but it does contain something I'm not happy about.
an artificial advert that is even clickable - i doubt very much that this was actually in the original capture and has been subsequently added subtracting a great deal from any credibility imo.

edit : to find scroll far left and it's a short way in to the right centre screen.

found another one on a bus stop ;

I found this too when i zoomed to look at the bell tower off to the right there was what i thought was a bird but when i zoomed in as much as possible it was still just a pixelated black blob that i thought would have been very clear considering that on one of the pre programmed zoom buttons it shows a bird REALLY high up in the sky. not gonna speculate just thought it was odd.

A perfect triangle anomaly:

very nice find OP, but Im guessing you have all ready figured out we like this very much. I found some little ufo type of things in the sky as well if you just circle around the seagull a little bit. Funny, Im more fascinated looking around the sky for things then the city! Definitely going to share this link indeed.

Now, thats a good toy for all the UFO freaks out there. Now they can search for every speck in the sky and marvel for days and hundreds of forum pages, whether it is a UFO or a dove, distorted by digital shutter speed. Golden days coming for all UFO weirdos!!

THis the coolest picture ever come across wow imagine someday all photos could be in this format, great find thankyou

That guy is holding a blue pen. Welcome to the future.

a blue pen crikey i can almost read what time his watch says amazing.

This is incredible! Just need these images of the skies when more interesting things fly across it. I dont think the govt would allow that though! The ufo community are guna go bananas with this!

Because they are birds. You know. Those flying animals with wings and feathers. Just teasing. What an horrible job that would be to blur out all the liscence plates. But this thing is amazing. I'm sure we could find a whole bunch of weird and cool stuff in that picture. S&F

one of the most amazing finds, ever. yeah, technology has come a long way, but this is stupendous. i'm watching this site with my jaw hitting the floor. fantastic find.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but I found the moon!!!
You cannot see it if you are not zoomed in a good distance.

You can even see what looks like a large crater. I suppose it could simply be a dark pixel spot, but it looks cool nevertheless. Can you see it in the last pic?

Also, with an extreme zoom I randomly poked around in the sky, and there are anomalous dark looking circles in quite a few spots. I will try to go back and get a picture of one of them. I do not think they are birds, because I don't think they would distort that much even at that distance. The most logical explanation is pixel deformity, but I suppose it could be something else!

Wow, I'm not saying this is fake, but 111 Gigapixel hmm I know our tech doubles every 2 years, but could we really jump this high in pixels?

Can someone edit the OP post to say that this is a collage of thousands of pictures ?

That last pic indeed does show a crater. wow

reply to post by Apleness


It's not, this is one photo, but the pixels are so high it appears to be 100s of photos
