'Mysterious Beasts' Spotted by Arizona Highway Cameras
A suspicious pack of what appeared to be a group of large animals has sparked a viral debate about a possible sasquatch sighting in Arizona.
The Arizona Department of Transportation was behind the latest announcement -- and conspiracy theories began to grow after they posted a photo from a highway patrol camera.
It wasn't Big Foot enthusiasts reading too deeply into a suspicious photo; the government officials were the ones to suggest that something sinister -- and mysterious -- was going on.
"We might have spotted a family of sasquatches on SR 260 near Heber this afternoon. What do you think?" the Department of Transportation wrote in the caption of the photo it posted to their official Facebook page on Jan. 1.
The post was shared nearly 3,000 times.
The more than 2,000 comments ranged from true believers to those concerned with the well-being and supposed mythological powers of the rarely spotted beings, but eventually the department put the speculation to an end, admitting it was just meant to be humorous.

Arizona?
Obviously just more illegals.
I thought Moochelle was in Hawaii.
I should be embarrassed. I saw the word Sasquatch and right away assumed we were talking about Michelle O. Oops.
Ah! Government pranking the proles! A tried and true tradition.
Comments on the article:
“Are you saying Big Foot is an undocumented illegal alien?”
“Well we can’t really say they aren’t yet. They could be a tribe of bigfoots fleeing Mexico....I heard Mexico is not a nice place for bigfoots. As a armchair scientist...I know we cannot rule anything out without proof. Heck they could be undocumented illegal extraterrestrials seeking political asylum and a sweet hairdresser.”
“Then Arizona should make sure that Big Foot can’t get a driver’s license in the state.”
“Federal government said they can’t do that either. It’s like they are Pro Bigfoot or something!”
“I hate it when Big Feet come into our country and take away all our jobs!”
“Just think of the jobs they could get stomping grapes in the wine region of California.”
“Hey I don’t care where they work I just want them to be legal. I work with several Eastern European Immigrants...and this issue upsets them far more than it does me. What gets me is a lot of these people that think illegals are no big deal have zero real interaction with how they do affect things, and don’t understand how immigration works.”
“Hopefully they don’t have big hands as well.. America might lose its population of size queens”
“Actually they aren’t illegal. They are the new pilgrims reclaiming the land that the whites took from them.”
Oh, what the hell, I’ve had a few screwdrivers tonight seems apropos, especially after seeing that CHEETOS was renominated for speaker.
Think I’ll aim at finding me some big foot to grill.
Illegals In Trench Coats!
Bttt.
Archive photos from the same fixed camera from summer months shows these to be......trees. In exactly the same locations as the family of sasquatch. Squat inotherwords.
I like this comment:
“Actually, I have a cabin up there. The Indians have been speaking about them for years and years. The area is known to have several sightings. Personally, I have never seen anything like that but you never know lol .”
and the reply is funny, too...
“Yes, I know, I’m part Indian and we told the story to scare whiteman away.”
ROFLMAO!
Looks more like Bigbutt
