I've seen something like that before and it turned out to be fake or something. I'm pretty sure that a plane would be travelling way to fast to be caught on the camera.

That was posted here awhile back, and I believe most people came to the conclusion that it was a plane too.

Something about this pic says fake to me.

i looked at it, it seems the shdow marks are in the right place, plus o'hara is right close so knowing how busy that airport is, it is possible that a plane was caught in the pic.

but still could easily be a photoshop.

how do they get there pics? that would help in the determination.

I think it’s real, how would you fake something like that ON Google maps, I can understand a single picture from somewhere random. Unless Google's messin with us, which after seeing the New York to London directions… isn’t so far fetched.

It looks like an American 757

Before they updated the images for the satellites you could see a 737 on short final for Shy Harbor in Phoenix and a 747 arriving in Honolulu.

If you check out runway 8R at Atlanta Hartsfield you can see 3 or 4 departures by following the extended centerline of the runway. Pretty neat.

I don't know if it would be fake or not, but if the pic was take by a satelite in space then it would be thousands of miles away and not appear to be moving fast at all.
