I believe most of you heard for this one, but for those of you who haven’t here’s another enigma: Is this a flying can captured with Google Earth? It is somwhere in Australia, this “event” took place. There are much theories circulating around the web, but real solution is pretty simple. Can you solve it? Jump inside this article to get the answer and some more pictures.
Here’s a zoomed image. Unfortunately there is nothing unexplained and paranormal/high-tech going on with this car. It isn’t even flying actually. The answer is that there is simply another black car parked near the with one, giving you impression of a white vehicle’s shadow!
Another “flying car” captured with Google Earth:

This is NOT a car or cars at all! Come on , how can you miss it. This is a storage tank on a four leg support frame. It is the tank and its shadow ! Proof ? Just look at the shadows on the trees line to the left of the picture towards the fields. They are of the same size and direction proving a consistent position of the sun !
*SPOILER*
It is just a white car and a black car next to it or a balloon for advertisement with a shadow under it.
Snape – I warned Potter and Weasley about letting the Muggles see them in that flying car!
Yup. It’s a balloon or a black and white car. Easy to find it out.
BUT THE DAMN THING IS BLURY!
Note to self: Stop parking my black car so close to other cars anymore.
white car parked enxt to black car
No. Ronald weasley took his dad’s flying car to take Harry potter away…We caught it! Now they have to let the ministry of magic know! LOL
its really real. i can see it from the far one
it could be anything: a black tarp, a water puddle, or a black car. it’s hard to tell since its blurry, but it deffinately isnt flying or a car on a post(the shadow would be closer). but very cool, my next question is: how much time do you have on your hands to go through Google Earth and find these things?
I agree with just me, myself and I
ha ha!
i saw something like this near my school once there was a black car parked next to a white car on the sand and i imeadiately thought of this.
DaGni DoOms is out!
wow… O_o ALIENS!!! jk hehe
if i was the shadow it would be connected to the car
I see flying pin.
maybe the white car is parked next to a black car
the ‘shadow’ is way too dark to be a shadow. it is totally something black beside it.
its not a shadow duh. if it was a shadow then why the black part is NOT CONNECTED to the car. i think its a black coffin. ahehehe…
There are 2 cars…. a white one and a black one.
lol cool but people should stop trying to figure it out and just imbrace the the fact of gosh dont be such a party pooper guys :(
its a monument to ‘brock’ v8 supercars ledgend, its a replica vk commodore bout 2m in the air…nothin speshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Either that or its the ute on the pole in Denni
the what? ?_?
looks like appa(:
A white car, parked next to black car.
I see the Avatar xD
I dont believe thats a black car the other black cars in yhe pic u cam see detail on them y not thats black car
a white car parked next to purely, shadowy black car?
Or it could actually be a “flying” car. There are people who really own vehicles that hover. They don’t fly very high and this thing, if it were a “flying” car, doesn’t look very high off the ground. Think about it. What are the odds that a white car would just happen to be parked on the OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD from a parking lot, at an angle with a black car (not red or blue or any other color, mind you, but black) sitting perfectly to “create a shadow”? Also, there are other black vehicles in the first pic and they have detail – while the “black car”/shadow looks flat. Or maybe the white car was on a lift of some sort (like they have at car lots to display cars) and the fact that the pic was from directly above, the lift was obscured from view and the shadow is really of both the car and the lift?
Or it’s just a stunt team practising…
It’s a blury picture but i think its just a black car
a ballon car? some type of advertising material :P lol
Well they are are most definitely wrong on this one. That car is actually on a display rack for vehicles. I mean who would not see the smal white bars in the pixels. I know its rather hard but come on.. its actually the shadow of the car next to it. Look at the angle of the shadows. The slight gray tints just under the car that would give hint towards steel bars of some kind near it.
A white car, with a shadow! Duh!
flying can, definately
The black object is really a shadow, but the “flying car” is a shade awning (the tent-like things on aluminum frames people sit under at outdoor events). Dark stripes on the awning give the illusion of front and back windows (the dark stripes are likely the same size as the white stripes – the low resolution makes the dark stripes look smaller than they really are, and give the illusion of a curved central “car roof” area). As Omen mentioned earlier, you can actually kind of see some of the poles holding it up.
Its Ron and Harry testing out the new car Ron bought!
*looks at other black cars and looks at the “shadow” black car.. (odd..its flat with no detail)
*looks at the angles of shadows from the trees, and looks at the white car’s “shadow… hmm~ (odd..same angle and length, which means it can be hovering pretty high)
it could be a car on a display stand or something? or maybe a real flying car.. black to the future X3
That’s my car! WTF, is this how it disappeared?
Thats no car in the air OMG
as anyone with vision can see thats some sort of portable fruit/venders stand i can clearly see poles from ground to the top of the apparatus hey it may even be a bus shelter hahahahahah a flying car hahahahaha
its a Baloon car
to be honest, its just a baloon car. just look closely and youll see it.
obviously its a shadow of the actual car caused by the direction of the sun at the time,far from rocket science.
its obviously a black car cuz it has been covered with a car cover thats why its not reflecting like other cars.
are we playing GTA San Andress With Car Fly Cheats ???????????
intentionaly done,,,,,,,, just a black cotton peace placed besides the car and picured from helicopter or (if it seems litle costly then) just some work done on that particular pictures got first from the google earth
Note to self, Stop leaving the keys in the Delorian
