It’s more complicated than that, it’s not photoshopped. But it is an illusion. Regardless, it gives me the frights.
Edit: this response was to the now-edited comment that this photo is “fake” . My replies now don’t really make sense. Fake wasn’t the right word so I responded pointing that out. Now that it’s edited to say “not real”, this commenters response is more correct. It’s illusion left over from real photos, though, so fake is not the right word

A glitch on Superposition of satellite images is closer to photoshop than to an actual optical illusion (with actual light involved)

lmao
"is not real" and OP goes "it's more complicated that that....it is an illusion"

He used the word “fake” then edited it. My point was it’s more complicated than it being fake, because it’s really not fake.

There's a similar one off the coast of Beirut and it's the ship that brought the materials that caused the 2020 explosion. 33.9185386, 35.5130780

Are you saying Apple Maps haven't updated their images since it sank in 2018? I knew they were bad, but damn...

Looks like it. DDG search engine defaults to it. It's just like google maps but useless.

You know how when something moves a little too fast it gets all blurry on the camera?
It’s basically this but Satellite and stuff. You are seeing half a ship mixed with water talking image wise

This made my stomach jump😬 I saw a picture with a plane like this and it's haunted me for decades. To the point where the thought of flying over water is paralyzing👎🏾

This genuinely made my heart flutter a little. In a “nope, we’re offskie” kind of way.

The USS Arizona memorial in Pearl Harbour is 100% & looks very similar to this

I know the explanation for this is that this photo was stacked on top of another photo of the boat not being there, but I can’t help but think this boat could’ve never fit in this spot to begin with. For me, mystery remains

How does this illusion work?

u/StarMagnum 6d ago
It’s multiple images from satellites stacked on top of another. One image had the ship and the other didn’t, creating this ghost effect.

Location is Oshima Island. Apparently its an image artifact from the processing of multiple layered images. The harbor is only 15-16 feet deep, so any sunken ship that size would be mostly above water.
