Follow The Leader Illusion
February 28, 2007 by Vurdlak
Just wanted to mention that I updated Google Earth category with some cool illusions from the past that can be seen in Google Earth or using web application, Google Maps. I would appreciate if you checked it, and post your thoughts on that category. Also, if you encounter any errors, be sure to drop me an email. Today illusion was submitted by Alexander Sell. He wrote: "At first I gotta say that I really like this page and the widget. The attached picture I found in Google Earth close to Frankfurt Airport in Germany. It looks like there are 3 planes (Boeing 747 !?) departing very close to each other. The distance between the 1st and the 3rd is less than 1 nautical mile which is far below the minimum allowed distance behind an aircraft that is classified as heavy. Of course it's only one aircraft that was shot three times in a row by the satellite. Maybe this one fits to the Google Earth gallery."

wooooboowooboboooowoo 1st comment
First comment again!! yeh that illusion's quite kl. yep - should definitely be put under Google Earth category. And now everyone - dont all get on at me becoz i was first (like u did on the 'More Painted Cars' one). It's a gd illusion!!
Interesting; though I wouldn't say it is a 'mess up' more of a feature! :o)
soz ificould - when i typed my message yours hadnt come up yet so i didnt no that i wasnt first. oh well!!
the previous comment - the one done by 'ellie'? that was actually me btw.
OMG! WHAT AN ILLLLLLUSSSSIONNN.
If you go to Franfurt Airport on Google Earth you can see that there are four shadows but only three aircraft.
erm..i don't get it.
i fli and if you go to close just say by to your licnce
oLo
^
ya i was just on google earth and i found the four airplane shadows and the 3 planes. Really weird. Maybe a US jet testing drill. Not likely but possible
its the way the image was captured, its the same plane 3 times (and a 4th shadow where it was out of capture range).
yes, this is very kl. but sinse this is my first comment on this site basically. i know what some of you did to ellie xx which upset her, and please dont judge me because of what i talk like, because its rude and pathetic to be honest.
Im Abixx's friend! lol
kl illusion as i said earlier.
I think its the same plane just photoed @ different times like the ship 1 but goin in the same direction (ya kno)
they must have been spelling a word in the sky or doing a show.
maybe a stich problem
or it could be that they are at different altitudes.
definately something to think about!
i showed this to my dad, who was in the air force for 6 years...he said that they are ither fighter jets, or they are at different altititudes, ut in that case they wouldnt be taking off from the same airport, so it would have to be a different plane flying by..wierd though
