Maybe the wrong forum for this question. But why is the shadow of this jet only magenta and green.

That's an image processing affect; and potentially not even the actual shadow location if you look at the direction of the building shadows.

Shadow looks ok to me , matches other shadows in same dark green part of the shot.
I can't imagine Google going to the bother of editing it.
Just wondering why it's not black.

Its not a shadow, its to do with the satellite camera set up. Aircraft shadows are always dark.
