The area in the screenshot seems to have a higher resolution than
satellites can achieve.  Also I've stumbled on big airliners in Yahoo
or Bing satellite imagery before and they look much different (longer
exposition time and the RGB components somehow have an offset because
of the altitude difference, like here:
