If you rotate this photo of a spaceship, it looks like a car in the water

If you stare at it for a really long time you’ll see Jesus / or an Alien waving at you.

“Almost”? Nah; that’s exactly what it is

Not to be pedantic, but instead of rotating 180°, a vertical flip is what is needed. :wink:


(edit to add: the spaceship image was a 180° rotation of the original after all, see discussion below)

That was a nice long drive.

Is that a GLK or what is it?

You’ve uncovered the secret: all cars in water are really UFOs in upside-down world!

Why are all those people upside down on the cave roof over that space ship?

To be pedantic, how do you know that is the right orientation and not the 180° rotation?

I was just referring to the fact that it is a lake (usual vertical reflection in the water) and thus, I figured the spaceship image was flipped, not rotated. But turns out the spaceship image was rotated, so a rotation is needed to get back to the original photograph. So, you are right. The main clue is the logo on the back of the yellow-jacket guy; clearly there is a G, an E and possibly an I.

No man, this just shows you how advanced the UFO camo is! THEY don’t want you to know.

Looks kind of like a cross between the Lancia Stratos Zero concept car and the type S scout.

I took this about 15 years ago and have always preferred it rotated, as you see it here:

There was a malfunction in the gravity wave generator as a result of water damage.
