Yesterday, here on the Streetviewfun website I posted about an image taken via satellite where there is a request for help, and it is available on Google Maps, messing with the imagination of users and there is already reason these messages are written on that land and already information about who wrote them.

According to the Newsweek website, a police spokesperson issued a statement regarding this case.

A spokesperson for the Union Pacific Police Department told Newsweek: “Photos circulating on Google maps that show the word ‘help’ on Union Pacific property were created about a year ago – no one was or is in danger. A man trespassed on Union Pacific and other nearby properties to repeatedly create these misleading messages. We want to remind the public that it is illegal – and more importantly unsafe – to trespass on Union Pacific property.”

According to the Los Angeles police, the property belongs to the Union Pacific Railroad.

The messages, however, do not appear to be current, as they were already written almost two years ago, in 2023, according to these Street View images from that year.

Additional elements in the images suggest ominous undertones, with words like “FBI,” “LAPD,” and others also clustered nearby.
