Remember the flying car?

Now we have a UFO or maybe just a water tower in Egypt....

The Shadow is interesting in this photo since the shadow is further away from the object compared to other buildings would indicate this thing is higher up in the air. It's also pretty large - about 83ft wide.

notice the shadow left of figure A,
Now look at the shadow from the disc, its in the wrong place. The white circle shows where it should be if it were floating.

But it looks like the top line of the small shack shadow or building or whatever it is is covering up a partial of the corner of the shadow. Also, there must be a better shadow in the google map that you can get a better perspective?

yer thats really the only way to solve it, is to wait for the pics to update...

It's a water tower for sure and there is actually 2 flying cars in google earth now.

Wouldn't a water tower cast an elongated cylinder shadow because of the sides of the tank. This image shows a circle shadow as if a disk is indeed hovering there.

Yes it would. Considering the angle of the light source, the shadow should be cylindrical (or at least boxy) wheras this is a perfect circle.
I don't think its a water tower.

It's near an air strip and on the coast. Is it possible it is a large spherical radome? That would cast a round shadow if the sun were nearly overhead.

Water tower. It doesn't show side shadows because it's up on a central stalk.
Here's one or two the right shape:

They're fond of that shape in Saudi Arabia, especially in Riyhad:
