Mystery surrounds creature spotted on Google Earth
Shocking satellite images from Google Earth has made internet users confident they spotted Big Foot in the US mountains.
Google Earth satellite images have sparked a debate over whether Bigfoot is roaming around in Colorado.
A group of online sleuths apparently believe the satellite images may have captured a Sasquatch in the wild, The U.S. Sun reported.
The picture, taken at the exact coordinates 38°16‘24“ N. 108°08’32 in Western Colorado, was posted on a thread in a subreddit dedicated to Big Foot.
It shows a dark silhouette walking through a clearing, which online sleuths have calculated to be nearly seven-and-a-half foot tall (228.6cm).
A Reddit user who goes by bassrunner claimed they were familiar with the area, and had felt strange when in it.
“There was one section on that loop hike that sometimes gave me the willies in a vague and undefinable way, and at least one other person I know said the same thing about that area,” they wrote.
However, user Northwest_Radio, claimed he had solved the riddle.
“I found later photos (Shadows are different, sun farther south/lower) and this is a ground anomaly,” they wrote. “Water likely. Maybe the start of a lake. If that is the case, it should be named Skookum Lake.”
It‘s not the first time internet sleuths claim to have found proof of the elusive creature’s existence.
The mystery of Bigfoot has been causing a stir for hundreds of years.
The mythical beast is thought to stand seven to ten foot (213cm to 304.8cm) tall and weigh more than 204kg, with footprints 43cm long.
One of the first discoveries of Bigfoot was back in 1811 when British explorer David Thompson found large footprints that have been attributed to the creature.
Video taken in July 2021 is thought to possibly show Bigfoot crossing Michigan’s Cass river with a baby in its arms.
The footage was submitted to the Rocky Mountain Sasquatch Organisation by a person identified as “Eddie V”.
In February 2020, two hikers shot footage of Bigfoot strolling through a park in Ohio.
Explorers and scientists went in search of Bigfoot in the Oregon forests in late 2019.
In June 2018, a woman in Florida reported a creature that looked like “a large pile of soggy grass”.
In October 2017, a farmer claimed he had seen a whole Bigfoot family, carrying a pig while running through his Californian ranch.
Paranormal expert Jeffrey Gonzalez said he spotted five or six of the beasts running past his van‘s headlights.
Meanwhile, in June 2017, a mysterious video appeared to show a Bigfoot-type creature swinging through trees near a hiking trail in California.
In September 2016, footage unexpectedly showed a large apelike, hairy being that can clearly be seen rummaging in front of the lens in California.
