Google Earth: Dunmore Harbour

    Hi all,
    was just measuring the distance between Dunmore East lighthouse and Hook Head lighthouse and I noticed a plane to the S of Dunmore East.
    I can't tell if it is flying really low and the second image is a shadow or if there was some ghosting during the image capture or what.

    Anyone any ideas? If you've got Google Earth you can zoom right in a have a good look.
    Cheers.

    Roen ,

    Here is an explanation to the ghosting you seen on that plane , if you look close enough you may see its a United Airlines plane .

    If you go to Dunmore at 5 or 6 most clear mornings you will see quiet a lot of jets making their way from the US to Europe sometimes it like Military jets in formation cool to see with the sun rising .

    I imagine it's one of these puppies:

    London to NY or Chicago probably.

    It's been there longer than that. At least since the last time this thread was done;)
