BEWILDERED Google Maps fans have spotted a plane like no other.
A flight appears to have a weird glitch as it was photographed by the tech giant’s satellite cameras.

The weird appearance was noticed passing just over Slovakia.
Beneath the plane is a strange mix of red, green and blue colours.
For anyone who wants to see it with their own eyes, just search the following co-ordinates on Google Maps: 49.409716,19.606351.
Set the view to satellite, and there you will see it.
But it’s worth noting that there’s a reason for the glitch.
It’s to do with how the cameras up in space capture images of Earth.
They take shots in different colour bands, which are usually red, green and blue.
The frames are then combined to form the photos in their truest colour, as we’re all familiar with.

The thing is, each frame is not taken at the same time.
So a fast moving plane can trick the merging process, leaving us with the raw red, green and blue we see in this case.
All sorts of weird stuff is spotted on Google Maps, especially on the Street View mode.
Eagle-eyed explorers were left shocked when virtually nosing around Majorca recently, as they noticed a woman sunbathing in a very bizarre way.
