although the entire thing is probably either a camera artifact or reflection, the "alien" looks an awful lot like a blurry ostrich behind that bush to me. Pinkish long neck with head at top, large gray body below.

Someone also claimed street view caught a ghost, but it just turned out to be Mary Poppins. Street view also found "Wally."

Looks like a blurry shot of a turkey peeking out from some bushes to me.

OK, now I'm thinking I remember the character being called "Waldo." Did he have different names on each side of the pond?

We hunger for a slightly blurry figure up against a building? Hmmm. Maybe that explains why I take my glasses off before sex.

Why does he have different names on each side of the pond? Does Wally mean something else in America?
