Title: Possibal Ju 88 wrek found?
Post by: oakranger on July 21, 2009, 02:46:58 AM

Just read this and see if any one heard about it.  I can't tell a darn thing out of the object to what they think is a Ju-88.

That image is not even of a reservoir with a dam.  But even if you look at the reservoir to the south, there is no shape visible next to the dam.

So its a "UNFO"?

Well, let's put it this way.  The credibility of the story is dubious when the news breakers don't include a pic from google maps.

I call shenanigans.  I don't see anything in the water either.  Notice how the article does not indicate who the "experts" are that see the aircraft using google maps.

Hmm,
Interesting, but I see nothing but a bit of murky water or a bit of land... If the shot wasn't so pixilated as well... But you never know...

I'm gonna call it a NENFO though...
Non-Existant Never Flown Object...

Maybe they should have just done the easy thing and sent a diver down there for a look see before they ran this story. If a satellite is picking it up it can't be too deep.

Zoom out, next to the big lake is a smaller one, more to the east of it. If you look, you see dots in what I guess is in the shape of a fuselage.

I still don't see it.  Are people confusing the "2009 Google Maps" watermark for dots in the water?

Yea, i guess commonsense doesn't work well in that part of the world.
