Stealth bomber spotted on Google Maps

A stealth bomber spotted on Google Maps is a discovery as surprising as it is rare.

There are some very unusual things on Google Maps. Nothing escapes the watchful eye of the satellites and their impressive zoom. This sometimes leads to confusing, unusual or disturbing clichés. It turned out today that a stealth bomber has been spotted on Google Maps.

Stealth aircraft are stealthy, not because they can be made invisible in the full sense of the word, meaning they can no longer be seen by the eye, but because they are designed in such a way that they are difficult, if not impossible, to detect with a radar system. In this case, of course, if any of these devices is in the line of sight, you will see it and know that it is there.

This is exactly what Reddit user u/Hippowned discovered. While browsing Google Maps, he found an image of what appeared to be a stealth bomber in mid-flight. The image is somewhat blurry, with strange red, green and blue artifacts visible around the device itself.

At the same time, it’s all about the results of satellite images and how to obtain them. Also, Google uses a lot of sources for its images, which may explain why the focus is not accurate. As for this particular shot, it looks like it was taken by a Maxar Technologies satellite. While the planes have already been immortalized by Google Maps, this is the first time we’ve seen a stealth bomber in mid-flight.

Seeing the aircraft on Google Maps is pretty rare as they usually fly too fast for satellites to spot, so this shot is really good. In recent years, people have found a whole bunch of strange images on Google Maps. Some have even attempted to voluntarily engage in street viewing, striking a pose whenever they see a Google car drive by.
