Collision with a ‘ghost’ car


Via David Pescovitz, I came across this remarkable video of a collision at an intersection when a ‘ghost’ car appears out of nowhere right into the path of another car.


Of course, spooky background music notwithstanding, there is no ‘ghost’ car. I think what happened is that the video starts just after the view of the small car was blocked by the larger car and that both cars just happened to move in such a way that the small car remained hidden until the collision.

What is difficult to explain is why the driver of the bigger car did not see the smaller car in its path. The driver may have been distracted or, because they were turning right, may have been looking right and missed the car coming from the left, a common error.

    I believe this is clear evidence for multiple universes. The small car obviously transited through a quantum© gate that unexpectedly opened.

    It vindicates my theory that this was the basis of the Philidelphia Experiment. The US navy did not make a ship invisible, they moved it between universes.

    Uh, it’s a ghost car, can’t you read??

    Well we could always see Casper the Ghost in the comics and all those “thingys” in Ghost Busters.

    The larger car was in the sun, so the driver’s eyes were probably adjusted for bright conditions and/or they were wearing sunglasses. The smaller car was in the shade; it may have been next to invisible.

    I’m not familiar with those traffic signals, so I can’t tell which car had the right of way. If the smaller car “ran the stop signal” it would also help explain the collision.
