A MYSTERIOUS object has been spotted off the coast of Edinburgh - and it looks suspiciously like an underwater plane.
Robert Morton made the discovery of the underwater aircraft about a mile off the coast while scrolling on Google Earth.
The father of three from South Yorkshire said the discovery was “incredible and very strange”.
Speaking to the Mail Online, he said: “I was just looking on Google Earth on Monday and, by chance, I came across the picture of the aircraft.
“It looks like it is in the sea, just off the coast of Edinburgh. It looks like it is underwater.
“It's very, very strange. It’s incredible.
“I have never actually seen an aircraft on Google Earth so it is very strange.”
Of course, it could just be a glitch on Google Maps, which Morton acknowledges.
He said: “I have never heard of any aircraft crashing leaving Edinburgh or that area.
“I know the picture of the plane isn’t really in the water, its probably the satellite looking down on it through thin cloud giving it that appearance.
“I thought it was unusual as I’ve not seen an aircraft in flight captured by Google Earth before.
“It may just be another Google analomy.”

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
