Flying Car Via Google Earth Won't Go Away!

The mystery of the flying car in Perth, Australia just won't go away.

I noticed just today that the Sydney Morning Herald just ran an item on the topic. I have to admit, I noticed last week there was a flurry of activity surrounding this topic but I really wasn't that interested in learning more about it. After seeing yet another news item published today curiosity got the best of me and I looked a bit deeper. Low and behold it really is an interesting item, although hardly the first time a "UFO" has been spotted.

For fun, and if you have absolutely nothing better to do tonight (except maybe catch the next episode of 24!), check out the in-depth report at the guardian that goes as far as listing several actual photos from the position in question... nice bit of investigative reporting!!! - FYI, you can load this KMZ in Google Earth to see the flying car for yourself.
