This is an awesome picture of a Doppler Radar which had an unsuspected use. Because Doppler Radar is sensitive to speed and must know weather speeds to determine the severity of a storm, it accidentally picked up a very fast moving vehicle moving down Interstate 57 in Chicago. The reason for this was caused by a warm layer of air rolling in above the surface which causes the beam from the Doppler to be reflected toward the ground.
