Google Map Mystery (Satellite imaging catches a UFO over Magnolia Gardens, Fla.)
unknowncountry.com ^ | 18May2005

Posted on 05/20/2005 11:38:21 PM PDT by Las Vegas Dave

< snip >....Satellite map of Magnolia Park, Florida shows a clear view of an unusual object floating above 39th Street in the town.

The shadow on the object is similar to the shadows on the ground, meaning that it is in the atmosphere relatively close to the surface, probably no higher than 20,000 feet.

There are no towers or unusual objects in the area that could account for the formation, which appears to be in rapid vibrational movement. Because of the unusual motion visible on its surface, it is not likely that this is a balloon.

Without knowing its distance from the ground, it is impossible to determine the size of the object, but it would seem to be quite large, even huge.

Calls to individuals living in the area and a search of news sources for 2005 revealed no reports of UFOs over Palm Beach or Magnolia Park this year. The last National UFO Reporting Center report for Palm Beach was in 1999.

This is a confirmed unknown object in the air above a populated area in the United States, recorded sometime in 2005.

Wow...amazing how blurry focus is now called "rapid vibrational movement" lol

Excellent photo of a classic "flying saucer". Looks like it is vibrating rapidly - Electromagnetic propulsion?

Cool! My guess is that it's US Military.
There's no such thing as alien life - otherwise we'd be sending them foreign aid by now.

--> LMAO! Good one!!! Don't forget the aliens would be getting representation by the ACLU and the US government would be held liable for destroying their way of life by not letting them pursue the gay lifestyle they saw on the beams we broadcast into space and for what ever other reason they could think of to sue.

What's being interpreted as "unusual motion" could just be fuzziness due to the camera's being focussed on the ground. So it could be a balloon. I'm not saying it is, just that it could be.
