While researching caches for our Summer Vacation, I spotted it.
Does anyone know what the cool green shadow is all about?

On regular google maps, looks like a ghost duplicate image was made. The plane may've moved that far across the aperture during the time the lens was open.

A shadow with refraction/fringe lines?

Re: Never seen one of those on Google Earth before
I see the ghost image as RGB - red, green, blue, although the actual order of the images on my monitor is blue red green. Probably an imaging issue, but pretty neat regardless of the cause. Sorta gives me an idea for a new cache...X-files type...objects experiencing red shift and blue shift as they simultaneously move toward and away from the relative spatial orientation of a stationary bystander, and then stretch multi-dimensionally into the previously unknown green direction. This may require a math puzzle. If you see Schrodinger, tell him his cat is alive in this dimension
Hmmm, maybe one of those chirpy thingies...

Go to Google Maps and then to "Get Directions."
Type in USA as your starting point and Japan as your destination.

Step 48 might be a little tougher. Bring a couple of sandwiches.McCombRef wrote:Go to Google Maps and then to "Get Directions."

It's been done before, using a similar moving aircraft image near LAX, if I recall correctly.Team_Maltese wrote: Sorta gives me an idea for a new cache...X-files type...objects experiencing red shift and blue shift as they simultaneously move toward and away from the relative spatial orientation of a stationary bystander, and then stretch multi-dimensionally into the previously unknown green direction.

But if you are the first person to do it in Ohio, you can still be heralded as an evil creative genius.
