What is it with the UK newspapers? This is the second
week in a row they have published pure crap when it come to
Street View?

Last week it was a The Telegraph's Victorian Ghost seen in SV. (actually it
was a woman very close to the Google car whose legs were
blurred by the algorithm that blurs out the roof of the car.)

This week it is a total fabrication.

Article here.

Unlike the Victorian Ghost article this one did not provide a link.
A bit of searching and I found the site here.

But guess what? No amount of jumping up and down the street gets
you the picture published in the paper.

It's The Sun, a tabloid just slightly more respectable than The Weekly World News.

Actually, The Sun does have one redeeming quality: http://www.page3.com/

They're airplanes, probably the Red Arrows.
