Google Maps Street View: Very bizarre sighting spotted – what is it?
Google Maps Street View captures all sort of mundane sights as it maps the streets of the world, but sometimes it photographs strange scenes that simply cannot be explained, as this mysterious photo shows.
Google Maps Street View has captured an alarming-looking scene playing out in the countryside. The mysterious sight comes with no explanation, making it even more foreboding, Express.co.uk reported.
The bizarre image shows what looks to be two figures hovering in the sky. One is long and thin while the other is wider and pink in color, which contrasts with the white of the clouds.
Some viewers have speculated whether the figure on the left could be a man in a cloak and on the right is a woman in a big pink dress or cloak.
They have wondered whether the sight is, in fact, an apparition of religious figures.
The rest of the shot seems entirely normal. There is a wintry forest on the left and mountains in the distance.
The remote setting and the strange sight of the ‘figures’ in the sky lends an unearthly tinge to the scene.
However, there is more than likely a rational explanation for the mysterious photo. Probably the weird sight is the result of a technological glitch caused by the Google camera.
When taking the photo, the 360-degree cameras shoot multiple pictures to create the seamless image.
This is done by knitting the images together to make it seem realistic.
However, moving objects often ruin the scene as they shift when the photos are taken. For instance, something inside the car or just outside which was caught in the shot by accident.
This is far from the first time a camera glitch has resulted in a strange apparition.
Google Maps Street View also photographed an alarming spectacle taking place in San Francisco, USA.
The disturbing shot makes it looks as though an enormous object is about to crash down on top of the city.
The huge block is so big it could crush the buildings and cars below – and the shot suggests this is imminently going to occur.
However, the likelihood of an object like this plummeting out of the sky is incredibly unlikely and it is most likely the result of a Google glitch.
