Flames over DUB

    This image from Bing Maps shows an aircraft coming in to land at Dublin Airport with what appears to be flames and smoke being emitted from its rear end.

    I take it they're not flames as they're not coming from the engines and, judging by the amount of smoke behind the aircraft (and in the shadow), whatever it is appeared to occur at the instant the image was taken rather than over a prolonged period.

    Any explainations ?

    No flames in that link, Just a ghost image of the aircraft that is landing...
    If you look at the aircraft's shadow its also there....

    Just a digital artifact from the previous frame which got discoloured.

    Nothing else to see, move along.

    is it not a tail light which when the frame was taken was lit and polarised somehow. its like taking a picture of a car head on at night the light blinds the camera. no other strange goings on of gost images just a light and a camera interacting

    Similar offset and discolouration here (not far away from the other one): http://maps.google.com/?ll=53.410737,-6.088942&spn=0.001656,0.004823&hnear=Howth,+County+Dublin,+Ireland&t=h&z=18
