Stunned dad spots ‘submerged plane’ on Google Earth in the sea off Scotland – but is all as it seems?
A SHOCKED dad couldn’t believe his eyes after spotting a submerged plane on Google Earth.
Robert Morton, 55, found the incredible image under the sea near Edinburgh.
The father-of-three, from Doncaster, said the image appears to show an airliner underneath the waves.
He told that the discovery was “incredible and very strange”.
Robert, a mechanical fitter, said: “I was just looking on Google Earth on Monday and, by chance, I came across the picture of the aircraft.
“It looks like it is the sea, just off the coast of Edinburgh. It looks like it is underwater.
“Its very, very strange. It’s incredible.
“I have never actually seen an aircraft on Google Earth so it is very strange. It appears to be underwater.”
The bizarre image can be found around nine miles from Edinburgh airport, off the Scottish coast near Portobello.
So what is the story behind the picture?
Robert says he has never heard of a plane crash in that region – and suggests there is an Earthly solution to the mystery.
He described his find as a “Google anomaly”.
Robert added added: “I know the picture of the plane isn’t really in the water, its probably the satellite looking down on it through thin cloud giving it that appearance.”
Google have been contacted for comment.
It comes weeks after an amateur sleuth claimed to have found the wreckage of the doomed MH370 jet on Google Maps.
Ian Wilson claims he has spotted the doomed jet lying in a high altitude area of the Cambodian jungle.
