Google Street View is showing a man is floating in the air in Bangladesh

GOOGLE Maps Street View emerged onto screens in 2007 offering users an on-the-ground look at locations around the world.

However, along with the practicalities, the app also produces bizarre images across the planet which nobody is expecting to see.

One such happening was spotted by a Google Maps user in Bangladesh, reports BBC The user posted it on Reddit. It was a picture of a man standing with a child on the roof of a family home. The 360-degree image seems perfectly normal until the image is scanned down. Shockingly, the man appears to be floating, his lower half completely invisible.

It's assumed that this type of things are happening because of technical glitches of the Street View App with the satellite. It has been saying "The mysterious man" of Bangladesh.
