UFO seen on Google maps

Shouldn't there be a shadow on the road or at least nearby? I think it was photoshopped. Why would a UFO look like a rusty old pair of pliers, anyway? To remind us of trips to the dentist? What's the point of that? And speaking of Google, I think they are kind of unstable. They changed their name for one day recently. To "Topeka." WTF?

If I recall correctly, TOPEKA city council had a temporary name change to Google:

The Google swap to Topeka was an April Fool's joke detailed at an ABC news link here:

It pays to do some research around the beginning of April :D
 
I guess I should have added some winking smileys to what I thought was an obvious reference to an obvious joke. It's not like I didn't know we all have different ideas of what is obvious, after all.

Anyway, the flying giant pliers are just one more example of the sense of humor Google displays regularly. That is a refreshing thing to see in a corporate entity.
