I just have to add these images all from the same location but of different views. Shocking, simply shocking.

Looks like a spaceman near the KABL fm tower site in San Francisco
https://goo.gl/maps/2J25qrK1dvt

And there we see him here at the other side of the tower site. So what’s that red glow on his boots?

And now the real scary part where the spaceman’s partner is seen reaching up to get YOU.

In this view someone is reaching up an giving you the finger, or trying to way at you……………………

Thanks Aks! Just what we're looking for..

For those not familiar with Google Maps or how to make links to what you're viewing:

Google Maps

For street views click on the 3 vertical dots in the black box top left side.

For birdseye views click on the 3 horizontal lines in the white box top left.

Clicking either one will pop up a box with a URL for the exact view in it. Click on Share or Embed then You can get a shorter URL by checking the short URL box.

i use Google Maps a lot and from time to time run across some oddities. There are many documented bizarre captures.

I can't post a link for obvious reasons, but when the Google camera van drove past our house, Mr. Bay heard the sound and peeked through the blinds just as they took the photo. You can see it on street view.

Really interesting topic. Thanks, SATX!

Thank you! The last Google car that rolled through our neighborhood a few months ago caught me getting out of the car with the Gkids after picking them up at school.
