Now i know what that fast thing is. I just heard there is a Solar Trophy going on. This fast Light is Race pilot Pfnörr, doing a Penalty turnaround our Planet. So, don't mind.
Those faster dots you see are planes too, but just the ones that fly near the polars. The polars here are stretched out to mach the rest of the globe. So everything that flies there are equally stretched.
Btw, I can't believe what an ant nest near Europe.
