Looks like a reflection that has burned or saturated the ccd camera. The jpg compression just adds a glow like thing that's not really there. Interesting none the less.Sucks if it's your house under it.

Mighty pete is correct.
There is an however an interesting caveat. The CCDs in the Quickbird satellite that took these images will only generate a castellated traingle in the opposite direction of motion. North to South. For there to be more than one then the object is in motion.
If you look carefuuy you will notice a blue haze laying from the white triangle to the North East. This is common in GE images of aircarft in flight. With the blue ahead of the plane and in its direction of motion.
Is this on a known flight path into or out of Ferihegny airport?

This is not an UFO (Un-identified Flying Object) it is an UIE, (Un-identified Image Error)

When a highly refelective surface on the ground aligns with the satellite camera it creates the equivalent of lens flare.
This particular satellite uses a linear CCD that is at right angles to its dirction of travel (North to South). It is traveling at 6.8 kilometers per second with one image pixel equal to 0.83 meters on the ground. With a 10 meter focal length the exposure is would be too short so they employ a 16 x 12,000 pixel array. And take 16 image strips one after the other and delay the first image by 16 lines the next by 15 etc until the last line then the add all of the images together which increases the exposure by 16 times . This is called TDI (time delayed Integration)
When a ground object reflects back the suns image it over loads the CCD progressively producing a triangluar castelated effect as it tries to integrate the over exposed CCD pixels.
If you go to JFK airport you will find on the ground aircraft with these hanging triangles.
If you seek out an East West highway almost anywhere in the Southwest of the United States you will spot lots of trucks with attached triangles.
Happy hunting

If you mean the white 90% angle shape something, it is only a photo error, I believe. There is nothing similar in that street.
