Google co-founder's reported 'flying car' spotted hovering in Hollister
• montereyherald.com By Ethan Baron"It sounded like an electric motor running, just a high-pitched whine," said Steve Eggleston, assistant manager at an airplane-parts company with offices bordering the Hollister Municipal Airport tarmac.
But it wasn't only the sound that caught the attention of Eggleston and his co-workers at DK Turbines. It was what the aircraft was doing.
"What the heck's that?" saleswoman Brittany Rodriguez thought to herself. "It's just hovering."
That, apparently, was a flying car, or perhaps a prototype of another sort of aircraft under development by a mysterious startup called Zee.Aero. The company, one of two reportedly funded by Google co-founder Larry Page to develop revolutionary forms of transportation, has set up shop in Hollister, far from its Mountain View headquarters and the prying eyes of tech-obsessed Silicon Valley.
