Alien Found on Google Street View?
Alright, so there might be something out there but is anyone else getting a little tired of people looking for strange and mysterious things on Google Street View?
If it’s not the lost City of Atlantis, it’s aliens. UFO experts are today working themselves into a tizzy about the possibility that E.T. has just been chilling out Berkeley Heights, N.J. since 1982.
British newspaper the Telegraph, cites Malcolm Robinson, head of Strange Phenomena Investigations* as saying that while it’s hard to say with certainty what this smudge next to a beam of light actually is in the image, it’s similarities with ET are “obvious.”
Robinson said that the beam of light was “of added interest” it was a huge assumption to say it was an alien despite how much “we’d all love it.”
The paper reports that another expert thought E.T. may have been created by Google’s software trying to join two images together. While we’ll all be so disappointed if Spielberg can’t make another E.T (with Drew Barrymore and Henry Thomas of course) we think this is more likely. Especially when you consider that the walls of Atlantis turned out to be the path of a boat collecting data. Google’s statement about Atlantis below:
"It's true that many amazing discoveries have been made in Google Earth, including a pristine forest in Mozambique that is home to previously unknown species and the remains of an ancient Roman villa," a statement from Google read. "In this case, however, what users are seeing is an artifact of the data collection process. Bathymetric (or sea floor terrain) data is often collected from boats using sonar to take measurements of the sea floor. The lines reflect the path of the boat as it gathers the data."
*Really? There’s a department/office of Strange Phenomena Investigations?

The picture clearly proves it. Idiots are amongst us.
It looks like he hacked his iPhone to call home.
I still don't understand how sonar makes a visible path on the sea floor.
If you believe that's an alien being, then I'd also like you to help me out with my Nigerian money transfer problem...
OMGWTFBBQ AN ALIEN!?
O.o
it could be a disposable dildo
Look I am all about Alien's existing and all, but do you ever see a clear picture of a supposed Alien? Seems to me all the pictures of Aliens, Big-Foot, and what ever else....Even Loch Ness (sorry Jane I know this one is close to home even if it is over the water) are always low grade and blurry. I, like Mulder, still believe, but want to see a clear picture before it gets "reported".
Looks like ET witha Light Saber. Licensing issues anyone?
Didn't you all see War of the Worlds (recent movie)? The attack has begun!!! >:0
You found my detachable penis! Sweet, I'll be over to pick it up in 2 and 2...
Another minute of life I can’t get back….
I believe there is intelligent life out there. I think it would be naive to think that across the vastness that is space there is not one single planet capable of sustaining any form of life. I do not, however, believe that aliens on the planet earth happen to look exactly like they did in the movies.
I also happen to have a frozen bank account in the very Democratic republic of Congo, so if you send me 15 000$ I will later give you a million USD.

LOL!
I also get like that. See http://ficforlife.com/2009/03/keah [...] th-5.html.
Ummm....why is "Street View" using sonar and underwater imagery on a place thats clearly inland?
Their are aliens amoungs us but that isn't one
Awww,crap. i was told the cloak would make me invisible to earthlings puny photographic attempts!
@waikano: Hey, I'm as much a skeptic of Nessy as I am of this. Don't get me wrong, I love the Scottish, but just because a lake is too big to skim a stone and have it reach the other side, does not mean you're dealing with a monster who is eating them like peanut M&Ms before they had a chance to make it halfway. I am rolling my eyes, but none of you can see that.
I am all for aliens but i wouldnt say this is one, the more you stare at it the more the "body" looks like a big rock. Im more curious about the pillar of light, ive never seen anything like it.
The picture clearly proves it. Idiots are amongst us.
lol sooo true.. obviously just some stupid software issue
Methinks this looks just a rocket (firework) taking off photographed with a long exposure camera shot. The smoke 'alien' at the bottom helps too.
