    I call BS. Aliens don't abduct black people, just drunk rednecks.

    It is certainly a UFO to us...but it may be something our government has made....

    Or....it could be a real UFO....who knows...

    What are the coordinates again?

    Here is another one.....you do know that you can make a surface of an object dissappear by projecting what is behind it on a surface in front of it, rigth? So perhaps UFOs are everywhere just above us but we can't see them from below...

    ...Or hacked the project, or been on the inside...
    Or have you considered that it's a shadow cast from, you know, NOT a UFO?
    Seriously. Let me ask another question:
    What would you conspiracy nuts say had Google Earth captured the Geostationary Banana Over Texas?
    This is almost as dumb as Loose Change.

    The most famous abduction episode was of a married couple in New Hampshire in the late 50s-early 60s-- he was black, she was white.

    I call BS on the UFO because even if it is something that can't be identified there is no way of telling whether it is flying.

    To me it looks like it is drawn on the ground.

    If it is on a set coordinate, then it isn't flying. If it isn't flying, how is it a UFO?

    You understand that Google Earth doesn't give the public free access to some sort of real time connection to a global spy satellite network, right? These are just pictures taken at one time and then scanned to create a map of the world.

    Wouldn't it be a blur if it is flying?

    What do we really know about UFOs? Hell, they probably don't even fly and do something that we never heard or seen of. We just assume they fly from movies and fake sightings. But beyond that, what do we really know?

    If it was hovering, wouldn't it cast a shadow?

    They probably don't even fly? You do know what the abbreviation UFO stands for right?

    It depends on where the satelite took the picture from but generally yes.
