What Is This Thing in the Sky?

It's something on the camera lense, for sure. A bug of some sort.

It's a portal opening up to the 9th Dimension-shun-shun-shun!!!1one

Looks like a water droplet.

we're doomed!!!

Bird crap on the lens.

I may say that's not Portugal, but Spain. Galicia, more precisely. :-)

I know it's boring, but that's obviously something on the camera lens or a stitching error.

You only have to go one step West and the glitch is over top of the overhead signpost, not behind it as something in the sky would be.

HEre's the link to the less interesting view http://tinyurl.com/yb34563

Nope! Not even the location is right, let alone the speculation....

The technical term for it is "schmutz".

What? Porto, Portugal? It's in Spain!! Near xinzo de limia! Only 204km the other way!

I say a red plastic grocery bag like they have in countries that aren't smart enough to ban them.

It's obviously a splat of water on the lens, or the lens covering

It's actually in Spain, in the province of Galicia (?), much nearer from the town of Vigo than from Porto, Portugal.

rain!

It's the empty packet in which the FSM carried his parmesan.

Looks like the Bacon god. Signs everywhere have been pointing to his return.

I think it is a fake and nothing else!

Maybe we haven't survived the Large Hadron Collider yet.....

Glinda on vaca?

It's a water droplet on the plastic globe that covers the cameras on top of the vehicle.

It's a streetlight!

(too obscure now?)

This is definitely in Portugal. It's a good thing Google maps has a nice "zoom out" feature so we can verify whether the splat on the bubble is in Portugal (that lil country on the left) or in Spain (that big one on the right).

sometimes when you bump a bug on your windshield there is some kind of phlegm left, the kind that takes much spraying to get rid of. I'll bet that's what it is.

Clearly this is an inter-dimensional portal.
Why else is the place called Port-u-gal?

I know. This is the sky's uterus from which unicorn will finally be born. About time <3

im aroused

Enhance!

Ah ... of course!

That be a rain drop on the camera lens.

i like the horsemen angle, but it needs be said: Porto is definitively in Portugal:

The glitch(es - check out the bluish hole to the nether region down the road) are in spain though.

Wow. That is not even near Porto. Also, if you move up and down the street, you'll see that it's something stuck on the lens.

Fixed now. Thanks, marucosu!

"It’s from outside of Porto, a city in northern Portugal town in western Spain."

Portugal Is a country, just like Spain or England. A Common mistake that shows world education is poor. Really poor. And people don't mind being ignorant. That's scary.

Fools1 You are all mistaken! It is the inter dimensional portal through which the almighty Flying Spaghetti Monster will enter this world and usher forth a New Age of noodliness! In his name we pray, Ramen.

Okay I'm done :)

It's the Flaming Marshmallow Goddess returning to bring great goodness to the earth!

Salut Everyone, Thank you so much, give yourself a giant pat on your own back! Good for you! You are the superior one!

well, i don't know if it's in porto, in xinzo da limia or in porto do son, but obviously porto is a portuguese city, not "a town in western spain"...

Goddamit!

Porto is a town/city in Portugal; it's the second largest population centre, with about 1.7 million people living in it's greater metropolitan area.
You can find some information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porto

Portugal is a country: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portugal

There is a town in Spain called Porto and a city in Portugal called Porto.

Again? This Isn't near Porto, neither Porto is in Spain. This is near Xinzo de Limia, wich is a Town in Spain. Porto, Spain is a small village (doesn't even appear on map if you just zoom out), and it's near Sanabria. Just zoom out for god's sake. And if you zoom out you see that this isn't western spain. It's northwest spain.
I just hopped that google maps would help some people learn something about geography.

Its a still shot capture of the largest pop tart being ejected from the largest toaster. Rare event to witness.

This is obviously a picture of the dimensional rift where all the missing links on the internet go to hide. When it gets close to full capacity it becomes visable briefly.

If you actually click through to the map and twist it around you can see a green thing in the sky. It's not on the lens because if you pass the location, it disappears. It's important to note that it is raining, but the fact that the clouds are pink and green as well prove that it's not on the camera, it is indeed in the sky.
