Sorry for the awful quality this picture is a screenshot from my dashcam. I saw this strange version of the American flag and can't seem to find a match online. It's like a Betsy Ross flag but an additional star in the middle plus the entire blue section centered in the stripes as opposed to being in the top left. This was captured in Orlando Florida.
I wasn't able to find an exact match either. It's possible flying this flag is a sign of the right-wing politics of the owner. But I would like to add another theory: this is Orlando. They might just be pulling a Disney. They famously fly weird variants of the US flag so they are not compelled to hoist and lower them all over the park every day. I'm not saying this flag is a Disney non-compliant version of the US flag - they tend to look more cartoonish. But due to the proximity to the magic kingdom the owner might just be both aware of the flag code and lazy.
Commenting here just cause I want to see the answer. Tf is that flag?! :o
The blue and stars is from the “cowpens” version of the Revolutionary War flag, but in the center of the flag for some unknown reason. This isn’t an official flag.
Are you in Maryland, by chance?
I was not able to locate an exact match for that flag, but I did note some of the motivs are used in hate flags (VDARE)(stars and blue field centered).
Unfortunately this probably falls in the 'you'd have to ask them' territory.
I found almost the same flag (no center star, and only 11 stripes), but it's just some random thing on r/vexillology. Couldn't find anything else. More likely a right-wing thing than some redditor.
