Ufologists from the MexicoGeek project, using Google Earth, discovered spider the size of a bus. The insect was discovered on one of the unknown islands and at that moment was basking in the sun.
Famous ufologist Scott Warring, thanks to whom the video with a huge spider spread, reports that this filming is just new evidence of how little science knows about the super-large species of insects living on the ocean shores. He warns that the next time anyone goes fishing, anyone could become a spider's dinner and should be extremely careful.
It is also suspected that it may be a giant crab rather than a spider.
But many in the world doubt the authenticity of this video. Usually, when ufologists post something like this, they indicate the Google Maps or Google Earth coordinates of the places shown in the photo or video. All this is done so that those who doubt can check on their own, that is, the coordinates indicate reliability.
In this case, there is no data on the coordinates and it is impossible to say for sure whether the spider is real or whether it is someone’s falsification, because it is not even known where in the world ufologists found this huge insect.
Incredible facts
However, as stated Paul Clark(Paul Clark), expert from Natural History Museum in London, this the photograph is nothing more than a hoax.
The largest crabs
He makes the following arguments:
1. The largest crab in the world counts Japanese spider crab (Macrocheira kaempferi), which can grow to the size of a small car.
With a leg span it can reach 4 meters. However, these crabs live in the deep, cold waters near Japan, and they have a completely different shape.
2. Another crab whose shape is similar to the one in the picture is giant Tasmanian crab (Pseudocarcinus gigas). These are the heaviest crabs in the world and live in the southern waters of Australia at depths of 20-820 meters.
3. Also, this crab does not belong to the species pocket crab (Cancer pagurus), which has a slightly different shape and grows up to 30 cm.
4. The crab is most similar to the representative grass crab (Carcinus maenas), which was placed onto a satellite image using Photoshop. These crabs grow to only 5 cm.
5. Also, several users pointed out that the image of the harbor was taken from Bing Maps , where there is no crab.
On Google Earth maps off the coast of Deception Island near Antarctica, they spotted something that resembled either a giant squid, a pliosaur, or even a UFO. Experts are at a loss as to what it really is.
The discovery was made by Scott Waring on April 9, 2016, when he was studying the area with coordinates 63° 2"56.73"S60°57"32.38"W in Google Earth. It is unclear where he got the coordinates from, but it was in this area that he noticed an object around which there was seething ocean water, reports The Daily Mail.
“Very similar to a kraken,” the discoverer noted, adding that the creature could be up to 120 meters long from head to tentacle tips. “I measured it. The length of what appears on the surface is approximately 30 m, but what is hidden under water can exceed 60 m with tentacles,” he explained. Waring also did not rule out that he had found a pliosaur, an extinct prehistoric animal.
Another conspiracy theorist on Hotspot theorized that the creature found appears to be a man-made object, such as an underwater UFO emerging from the depths of the ocean.
According to Scandinavian folklore, krakens lived in the seas from Norway to Iceland and all the way to Greenland. The mythical squid, hiding in the depths, sank entire ships, enveloping them with its tentacles, and that is why the facts about its real existence were not preserved. The story of the kraken dates back to 1180 - to King Sverrir Sigurdsson of Norway, and the first detailed summary of maritime folklore about the sea monster was compiled by the Danish naturalist Erik Pontoppidan, Bishop of Bergen (1698-1774). He wrote that the kraken is an animal “about the size of a floating island.”
It's a Kraken, or a pliosaur, or a UFO, or maybe even a giant whale - whatever lurks in the dark Arctic waters makes them boil and foam.
Another mysterious inhabitant of the depths was spotted last week and brought some fresh rumors and theories for supporters of the existence of the Loch Ness monster. Tourist Tony Bligh filmed the video at the popular A82 Wellington Lay-By Allt Cumhang Wall tourist site, overlooking Loch Ness. The video showed mysterious humps rising from the water. Locals deny their belonging to Nessie, claiming that this is just an optical illusion caused by the waves left by a boat passing there.
Looking at photographs of our planet taken from space, you can find many intriguing and sometimes inexplicable things, especially if you use your imagination while viewing.
AdMe.ru has collected mysterious objects and places that users discovered on Google maps.
Wasteland Guardian
In November 2006, Lynn Hickox discovered on Google Maps a geological formation located in the Canadian province of Alberta that resembled a Native American head with an earphone in its ear. This image appeared as a result of long-term soil erosion, and the wire from the earphone and ear is the road leading to the oil rig, and the derrick itself.
Blood Lake in Iraq
In 2007, near the Iraqi city of Sadr, it was discovered blood red lake. Versions of the origin of the anomaly were very different - from sewage to waste from a nearby slaughterhouse. But the reason for this color of water has never been established. Today the lake looks the same as the others.
Heart shaped island
Galeshnyak Island , belonging to Croatia, was discovered on satellite maps in 2009. The island quickly became popular, not only on the Internet, but also among travelers - the previously uninhabited part of the land turned into a place of pilgrimage for lovers from all over the world.
Maze shaped like a fingerprint
A labyrinth in the shape of a human fingerprint, made of limestone tiles, is located in Hove Park in Brighton, UK. It was created in 2006 from a sketch by artist Chris Drury.
"Murder scene" on a lake in Almere, the Netherlands
A satellite image taken in 2009 in the Netherlands was discovered by one of the Reddit users. The scene seemed similar to a murder, and there was a heated discussion on the site about what it really was.
However, no bloody crime was recorded in this photo. Almere resident Jacqueline Quenen identified the cruel “killer” as her golden retriever, who, according to her, loves to swim. And what was mistaken for traces of blood was actually just water that had drained from the dog’s fur.
Building in the shape of a swastika
The building, shaped like a swastika, belongs to the US Navy and was noticed by Google users in 2006. The Navy command stated that the resemblance to this figure was discovered only at the construction stage, when nothing could be changed.
In 2007 $600 thousand was allocated to change the landscape and install solar panels in such a way that they hide the shape of the building. As of 2017, thanks to solar panels, the building no longer resembles a Nazi symbol.
People in dove masks
This street photo was taken in the Japanese town of Musashino in March 2013. This “composition” was built specifically - by the users and the site team Daily Portal Z, having learned that the streets would be photographed for Google, decided to immortalize herself on the map.
Ship overgrown with trees
This abandoned and tree-covered ship was captured by satellite on the Parramatta River near Sydney, Australia. The ship called SS Ayrfield was launched in 1911. It was decommissioned in 1972, and since then the ship has been moored at the mouth of the river.
UFO in Romania
An object similar in shape to a UFO from science fiction films was discovered on one of the abandoned farms near the Romanian city of Timisoara. The discovery gave rise to a lot of rumors about a visit to Earth by an alien ship. In fact, a flying saucer is abandoned water pump, which previously supplied Timisoara with water.
Desert Breath
Strange circles in the Sahara Desert were created in 1997 by the hands of people who are members of the creative association D.A.S.T. The sculpture is made of two spirals emanating from the center, one of which is created from cones that expand as they move away from the beginning, and the second is created from recesses constructed according to the same principle.
According to the creators, the spiral should disappear over time under the influence of erosion. However, even now, 20 years later, it is clearly visible even from space.
Military aircraft cemetery
Davis-Montain Air Baseis located near the city of Tucson in the USA and is perhaps the largest aircraft preservation site in the world - about 4,400 aircraft and 40 spacecraft are laid up here. Every year about 400 pieces of equipment arrive here and the same number are sold or destroyed.
Strange creature from Loch Ness
Jason Cook, 25, was looking at satellite images of Loch Ness when he noticed a creature swimming in its waters. And although there is no reliable evidence of the existence of the famous monster, many believed that it was the Google satellite that captured it.
