Is this a mysterious floating disc in Egypt? It certainly shares characteristics with the Australian Flying Car, but this time the 'shadow' looks too... dense? And maybe too sharp around the edges as well I think.
Taht’s a water tower, unluckily the place where there are many (In Italy) has a not good resolution to take a look… View Placemark Best regards, Claudio
If you click on the photo it takes you to GoogleSightSeeing.com where there is a larger photo obviously taken at a different time of day when the sun is lower in the sky. The “disc” is obviously a tower of some kind because you can see the shadow now has a “column” connecting to the disc.
The picture show a water reservoir, used to mantain pressure on the net. You can see another one on italian territory at coordinates UTM x:501680 y:5054718 32T using WGS84 datum.
It’s a water tower or something. Look at the shadow now.
are you guys serious look on the picture and zoom in as far as you can before you cant anymore and notice its attached to something. its like a silo or maybe a rain catcher
Hmm – if you pop open that spot on the Google Earth now, you get the same thing except with the shadow a bit more lengthy – it’s obviously a guard tower, judging from the width of the pole attached to the roof.
Check this image shown on Google maps street view, looks like a floating disc.
