Google Maps Street View: Mysterious glitch reveals behind-the-scenes look at Street View

Shockingly, snapped just above it and slightly further back is the same hat again, this time with the head wearing it.

The hat appears to worn by a dark-haired man who is seemingly unaware he is being photographed.

Could this be the elusive Google Maps photographer? Users on Reddit certainly think that this is the case.

The person who found the image accompanied it with their own opinion, writing: “Google maps took a picture of the google maps driver by accident.”

So, how did this happen, and why does the man appear so distorted?

Clearly, the photograph was captured by mistake as the camera turned, perhaps too quickly, to capture the scenery where the photographer was walking.

When taking the photo, the 360-degree camera shoots multiple pictures to create a seamless image.

However, moving objects often ruin the scene as they shift when the photos are taken.
