Plane spotted in BHEL Stadium on Google Maps, sparks discussion

Some discussion threads on Reddit can be genuinely amusing, like the one triggered by an aircraft spotted on Google Maps, with the image appearing as if a plane was parked right inside the BHEL Stadium.

The thread began two days ago after a Redditor, ICTFS, posted on the Hyderabad subreddit, r/hyderabad, that he had “spotted this while browsing maps randomly”, with the title, “Is



this a real plane inside BHEL Stadium or just Google Maps tripping?”

Redditors were quick to respond, with the initial explanations being largely technical. 

One user pointed out that the aircraft was “captured mid-flight”, citing visible colour ghosting, also referred to as chromatic aberration, and described it as a relatively rare visual artefact.
