'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.

The butt isn’t big enough!

I thought the Obamas were in HI?

[JennysCool]

I’m always surprised at how many freepers love that show!

It's absolute mayhem -- both mental and physical -- perfected.

So am I. I’m Canadian, a freeper and as laid back as it comes, but I have yet to find anything redeeming about that show. It’s vile, vulgar, insolent, unpleasant, corrupting, obscene, and has many other undesirable qualities.

That is all I can think of for GOOD points about the show. Well, Bubbles likes cats. Ugh.

I thought they were on vacation in Hawaii.

And y'all thought this was a gag.

Did I miss something?

Did anyone observe the Satchs arrive or leave the little area they were in? Has anyone searched the general area for signs of them living there?

[Catmom]

That’s just wrong.

Looks like a small group of elk feeding on exposed growth beside the road, you can even see where the two closest to the road have pawed back the snow.

Its just mexicans in ghillie suits.

I sense that the photo was presented.. as one of a group of bigfeet...as a joke

[JimRed]

If that is a genuine photo, it must be an immature female. No male genitalia in evidence, nor any substantial breasts.
