There was no plane crash off the coast of Scotland and the aviation authorities do not miss a plane. But this picture from Google Maps clearly shows an airplane.
Edinburgh - Just under a kilometer off the coast of Edinburgh you can clearly see an aircraft on Google Maps. The Brit Robert Morton (55) from Doncaster made the creepy discovery on his screen.
The triple father told the Mirror that he was "completely stunned" when he saw the machine. That is "incredible and really strange". “I just looked around on Google Maps on Monday and then I came across the picture of this plane by chance. It is just off the Edinburgh coast. I've never seen a plane on Google Maps. It looks like it is under water, ”says the mechanic.

Can the plane really be real?
Despite all the excitement, Robert Morton suspected "an anomaly from Google Maps". The closest airport to the Scottish capital Edinburgh is just 15 kilometers away.

In fact, there is a mistake behind this supposedly missing plane under water, as a Google spokesman explains to the British Mirror : “Every satellite image on the map is made up of many images from space. Objects, such as airplanes that move quickly, are often only visible in one of these different images that we use from a specific area. So it happens that weak remains of the objects can still be seen. "

In this case, the plane was apparently traveling quickly off the Edinburgh coast. Experts call this effect a Google Maps anomaly or Google Earth anomaly. That's why people keep finding strange things on Google Maps.
