Did Google Earth uncover a secret Australian flying car? You can't fool The Register:
Which leaves just one possible explantion: the Aussies have developed a gravity-busting hyperdrive, have bolted it into a second-hand Holden, and are seen here in the split second before their X-Motor made the transdimensional leap to hyper light speed.
Cool photo! Highly improbable, though. Given the number of ground-level collisions that occur, one would still need to earn an aviator's license before flying anything, even if it looks like a car. The photograph could easily have been faked, of course; the first step in confirming this would be to look at an enlarged hi-rez copy and see if the pixel-pattern changes where the flying car is. Another possibility is that the car is actually a display mounted atop a pole, as one might find at a used-car dealership. Given the apparent time-of-day indicated by the shadows, the pole's shadow would be eclipsed by the car's in this photo, and a reflective metal pole of steel would be virtually invisible in a picture of this quality.
Even still... It would make traffic jams and parallel parking a lot easier to deal with! I like.
Maybe it's a sign. If Google Maps published roads in that part of Austrailia, there might be a picture of the place. Oh well, don't mean to destroy all the fun!
All of us remember this strange story when appeared in The Register showing a flying car in Perth, Western Australia. Well, australian people have done it again and here is a second flying car!, this time in Cockburn, a city located about 22km south of the Perth CBD.
