Things That Look Like They’re From Another Planet
There are things on this planet that not even scientists know how to explain yet. Some things don't add up, and it might make you think it's not of this world.
Sometimes, you might see an optical illusion that's highly convincing and that makes you think until you can't anymore. What's to follow are images of things that don't look like they're from Earth, or maybe they're just excellent optical illusions.
Floating Pup!
![5ac4cb60da911_4kdaqqr89z401__605 (1) 5ac4cb60da911_4kdaqqr89z401__605 (1)](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/5ac4cb60da911_4kdaqqr89z401__605-1-23522.jpg?width=800&height=533)
This dog looks like it can float because the body and legs aren't there.
Well, they disappear when it leaps in the air, so that's why it looks like that.
Monkey Needed A Selfie
![optical-illusions-in-everyday-things-22-5ac4d3f342923__605 optical-illusions-in-everyday-things-22-5ac4d3f342923__605](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/optical-illusions-in-everyday-things-22-5ac4d3f342923__605-63766.jpg?width=605&height=776)
Who knew that monkeys knew how to take selfies? I guess anything is possible these days, but I wasn't expecting this day to come so soon.
It looks like he hit the right angles.
Is That An Ice Tornado?
![5ac4ba8d3915e_6p7aieupqlg01__605 5ac4ba8d3915e_6p7aieupqlg01__605](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/5ac4ba8d3915e_6p7aieupqlg01__605-81571.jpg?width=605&height=908)
Aren't there ice storms on planets like Saturn and Neptune?
How did this ice tornado end up on Earth? Well, this is really an icicle that looks like an ice tornado because of the angle and how it lines up with the horizon.
Two-Headed Pooch!
![5ac369181a8e3_zxm6UAh__605 5ac369181a8e3_zxm6UAh__605](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/5ac369181a8e3_zxm6UAh__605-90119.jpg?width=800&height=533)
As weird as this might look, I don't think people would mind having dogs with two heads.
That gives twice as many chances to be a good boy and fetch the ball.
Massive Birds Or What?
![5abe033a280ef_IKsYgko__605 5abe033a280ef_IKsYgko__605](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/5abe033a280ef_IKsYgko__605-23011.jpg?width=605&height=756)
How are these birds so tall? Those aren't toy cars next to them, so how did this happen? Did these pigeons travel from another dimension right before someone took this picture of them?
Or is there a ledge whose edge we can't see and this is all just the work of tricky perspective?
Hallway In Germany Or Mars?
![kcv8pgx0xlr51 kcv8pgx0xlr51](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/kcv8pgx0xlr51-67147.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=145&left=0&zoom=0.966183574879)
Imagine taking a walk down this hallway after having one too many drinks one night.
Would you think you're about to fall? The floor is flat here, so there's nothing to worry about.
What Planet Is This?
![5abe027a4b328_Qyonl__605 5abe027a4b328_Qyonl__605](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/5abe027a4b328_Qyonl__605-96194.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Who else would like to know which planet this is? How is there a grass field in the sky with a dock leading off the edge?
Oh, that's just the sky's reflection in a still lake, you say? Sure.
Frost On Car Looks Like Earth From Space
![5aba4ed591552_mxzfEQgr__605 5aba4ed591552_mxzfEQgr__605](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/5aba4ed591552_mxzfEQgr__605-52349.jpg?width=800&height=533)
If this is really frost on the hood of a car, then how do we know NASA hasn't been using this trick all along?
It looks more like Earth, but some might think it is just frost from the cold night.
Dog Or Log?
![5abe3acceaa9a_6ZP3Hhr__605 5abe3acceaa9a_6ZP3Hhr__605](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/5abe3acceaa9a_6ZP3Hhr__605-65132.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Here is a dog that looks like it has the back part of his body follow him around.
How weird would it be to see a pooch move around with two halves like this?
Someone Left Their Eyes
![5ac3921953d11_27252hyd86yy__605 5ac3921953d11_27252hyd86yy__605](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/5ac3921953d11_27252hyd86yy__605-62193.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Imagine taking off your glasses and your eyes went with them. That would be absolutely insane, but luckily, that didn't happen here.
Those things that look like eyes are just the reflection from a lamp.
Floating Lamp In The Sky?
![5aba4ffb9624c_y1xyjk2vm9oz__605 5aba4ffb9624c_y1xyjk2vm9oz__605](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/5aba4ffb9624c_y1xyjk2vm9oz__605-17319.jpg?width=605&height=807)
Reflections can get tricky if you aren't aware of your surroundings.
Someone could easily think this is a light in the sky or something attached to a UFO. Hey, you never know.
Sunlight Or Leaves On Fire?
![5ac4bfffa4396_mwsdfcwg0drz__605 5ac4bfffa4396_mwsdfcwg0drz__605](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/5ac4bfffa4396_mwsdfcwg0drz__605-14655.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=122&left=0&zoom=1.32231404959)
Let's start by saying someone thought this was a bat on fire. It's not that, but we'd believe it if someone told us it was some leaves on fire.
This is really only the sunlight hitting nature in the perfect way, though.
The Flying Dutchman??
![5abdff2441f1f_Lb8ntUX__605 5abdff2441f1f_Lb8ntUX__605](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/5abdff2441f1f_Lb8ntUX__605-29979.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=126&left=0&zoom=1.32231404959)
Well, there it is. The modern version of the Flying Dutchman decided to roam the seas, and it looks pretty nice. How is this thing floating like this is the real question, though.
This kind of illusion is called a Fata Morgana, and even after reading the Wikipedia article about it, I still don't get it.
This Man Has Incredible Arm Strength
![5abdff9fa0b3f_E5RYK__605 5abdff9fa0b3f_E5RYK__605](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/5abdff9fa0b3f_E5RYK__605-85270.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=265&left=0&zoom=1.32231404959)
Wait, is he standing sideways, or is the world behind him not the right way?
This one might take you a while to figure out, but you can always choose to believe he's an alien.
How Is This Possible?
![optical-illusions-in-everyday-things-9-5abe3b75c02f6__605 optical-illusions-in-everyday-things-9-5abe3b75c02f6__605](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/optical-illusions-in-everyday-things-9-5abe3b75c02f6__605-96515.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=411&left=0&zoom=1.32231404959)
Is this man inside of this woman? Stare at this for however long you want, but I still don't think you'll comprehend what is going on here.
The legs don't add up.
Black Hole On The Pillow
![optical-illusions-in-everyday-things-3-5abcfa42891cf__605 optical-illusions-in-everyday-things-3-5abcfa42891cf__605](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/optical-illusions-in-everyday-things-3-5abcfa42891cf__605-55340.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=0&left=0&zoom=1.32231404959)
Imagine telling your boss you showed up late to work due to a black hole in your room. Seriously, what is this thing?
It almost looks like a black cat curled into a ball, but we're pretty sure it's a black hole.
How Is This Happening?
![5ac49db1e9821_5r2ce0y__605 5ac49db1e9821_5r2ce0y__605](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/5ac49db1e9821_5r2ce0y__605-14945.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=199&left=0&zoom=1.32231404959)
No matter how hard you look, it's nearly impossible to find the body of this camel.
Seriously, where is the rest of this animal located, and why is it trying to sip some coffee?
Building Looks Invisible
![5abddbe3514de_4A7cd5d__605 5abddbe3514de_4A7cd5d__605](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/5abddbe3514de_4A7cd5d__605-69541.jpg?width=605&height=908)
The lighting on this one helps play a trick on everyone.
There's mirrored glass on this building, so the angle of this shot leads one to believe that this could be invisible.
"This Reflection-Free Glass Is Nearly Invisible"
![ndq0wdn9z9g31 ndq0wdn9z9g31](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/ndq0wdn9z9g31-33165.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=331&left=0&zoom=0.666666666667)
Okay, either this is a joke or he really is holding a piece of glass.
Thankfully, there is a smidge of evidence along the right edge where you see a deeper line.
Puddle Looks Like An Ocean View
![5abb8c7ed6b1e_7pI1fvor__605 5abb8c7ed6b1e_7pI1fvor__605](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/5abb8c7ed6b1e_7pI1fvor__605-19564.jpg?width=605&height=684)
Someone took a photo of this puddle in Geysir National Park.
The only thing is, it looks more like a beach view from the top of a building. This is a wild puddle.
She's Now The Centaur Of Attention
![optical-illusions-in-everyday-things-19-5ac4c5942ada3__605 optical-illusions-in-everyday-things-19-5ac4c5942ada3__605](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/optical-illusions-in-everyday-things-19-5ac4c5942ada3__605-67829.jpg?width=605&height=819)
Ladies and gentlemen, centaurs are now on this planet.
I never thought I'd see the day where one of these would appear, but here it is. She looks so happy to be there.
Revealing His True Self
![dcwe0bo8w7k51 dcwe0bo8w7k51](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/dcwe0bo8w7k51-10531.jpg?width=800&height=1000)
This man claimed it was a burn that caused this tattoo to become more colorful, but I'm not buying it.
How is the ink more vivid directly under his skin?
She Doesn't Need Her Whole Body
![optical-illusions-in-everyday-things-15-5ac49afb3b3c5__605 optical-illusions-in-everyday-things-15-5ac49afb3b3c5__605](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/optical-illusions-in-everyday-things-15-5ac49afb3b3c5__605-74069.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=88&left=0&zoom=1.32231404959)
Somehow, this cat doesn't need her whole body to function.
You can tell this feline isn't of this world by the size of its huge arm. How many one-pawed pushups can it do?!
"This Pattern Makes It Look Like The Floor Suddenly Drops Off"
![5abe070f54215_5mLOjLMr__605 5abe070f54215_5mLOjLMr__605](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/5abe070f54215_5mLOjLMr__605-87037.jpg?width=605&height=807)
Imagine walking and suddenly thinking you're about to fall. That would be a scary experience, but others around might laugh if you have a dramatic reaction.
They should consider changing this.
Godzilla Goose
![5abe0463ccbd7_UkQvokE__605 5abe0463ccbd7_UkQvokE__605](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/5abe0463ccbd7_UkQvokE__605-78077.jpg?width=800&height=533)
This angle gives this goose a larger than life look.
From this image, some might think this was a mutated bird waiting to attack the jungles like this was Jurassic Park.
Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie?
![5abba528a9304__605 5abba528a9304__605](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/5abba528a9304__605-44833.jpg?width=605&height=605)
The reflection wants you to believe that this is a giant chocolate chip cookie.
I wouldn't be opposed to having one that large, but that isn't the case with this one.
Is This What Paul Bunyan Smokes?
![5abdf7096eafd_jx79ho44z7c01__605 5abdf7096eafd_jx79ho44z7c01__605](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/5abdf7096eafd_jx79ho44z7c01__605-45605.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Only Paul Bunyan could smoke something this large and live to tell the tale.
If a regular human tried to puff this, they'd combust from too much smoke. Good thing is just a fallen post.
Baboon-Dog Hybrid?
![5ac3636fd987a_4i2d07ahl3e01__605 5ac3636fd987a_4i2d07ahl3e01__605](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/5ac3636fd987a_4i2d07ahl3e01__605-69385.jpg?width=800&height=533)
How does this dog also look like a baboon? This dog's ear has a baboon living inside of it, and that's a little creepy.
If you looked at this from a distance, you might get a little scared.
The Real Giant
![5abe33e35f910_inq1rbfq0wux__605 5abe33e35f910_inq1rbfq0wux__605](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/5abe33e35f910_inq1rbfq0wux__605-19639.jpg?width=605&height=1076)
Finally, a real picture of a giant on Earth. I knew they weren't only in fairy tales and folklore stories!
That guy behind him must be at least 6 feet tall.
Special Green Effect
![5abdf9299bfb6_1a8szxb3q59z__605 5abdf9299bfb6_1a8szxb3q59z__605](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/5abdf9299bfb6_1a8szxb3q59z__605-52658.jpg?width=605&height=807)
What were your first thoughts when you saw this image? Did you think that was green concrete around this building?
Well, it's really algae from the moat. That's a lot of algae!
This Looks Like A Literal Alien
![art a statue that looks really weird like a blob](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/art-26245.jpg?width=800&height=1066)
While this may look like it is an alien, it is actually a statue...someone's art if you will.
It travels from place to place delighting people with its crazy little face and colors.
I Knew Carrots Were No Good
![carrot a carrot that looks like it has a lot of legs](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/carrot-70950.jpg?width=800&height=1066)
It's hard to make the argument that carrots are good for you when they look like a very creepy little critter who is coming to get you in your sleep.
I'm sleeping with one eye open from now on.
They Look Like They're Melting
![colors colored pencils that looks weird](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/colors-83304.jpg?width=800&height=533)
I guess if you leave colored pencils alone long enough, then you're going to end up with a bunch of bendy pencils that will probably crumble when you try to use them.
How hard are these people pressing though?
Ever Feel Like You're Being Watched?
![tree tree that has a face in it](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/tree-92111.jpg?width=800&height=1066)
Imagine bumping into this tree while you were drunk and trying to work out what you were looking at?
These trees were made to grow into weird little faces just to throw us off.
What Kind Of Shark Is This?
![sharks shark gummies that are all stuck together](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/sharks--14079.jpg?width=800&height=1423)
Everyone loves candy, even when they say they don't.
But, this weird blue fish shark gummy looks like it's an alien that has come to Earth to warn us of what is coming.
This Is Kind Of Gross
![egg egg that had two yolks](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/egg-22373.jpg?width=800&height=800)
I guess this is what it looks like when you boil an egg that has two yolks in it.
Something about it is kind of alien and a little bit yucky.
That Is Quite The Purple Color
![led led lights that make the sky look purple](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/led--26289.jpg?width=800&height=1066)
Here we have a classic case of greenhouse lights looking like they might be coming from a spaceship that's about to land.
Don't worry, the only things coming are tasty fruits and veggies.
Science Is Really Amazing
![bottle a bottle before and after being filled](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/bottle-45102.jpg?width=800&height=1066)
In order to save space, bottles are stored like this tiny vial until they are ready to be filled and blown up into a big pop bottle like the full one.
Just shows the amount of engineering that goes into product production!
That's Some Ugly Pasta
![paint can paint can exploded and the paint looks weird](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/paint-can-21396.jpg?width=800&height=1066)
This is what happens when you leave a paint can out overnight somewhere where the weather is less than ideal.
Why it kind of exploded out into little strands is a whole other thing.
Have You Ever Seen Anything So Weird?
![toilet toilet that is black instead of white](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/toilet-87111.jpg?width=800&height=1066)
OK, so a black toilet isn't that weird, but it is weird enough that it would make you stop and do a bit of a double-take and wonder if these people are from the same planet.
Probably not.
"Grainy-like things? They appear inside and on my closet, and reappear whenever I clean them. What are these?"
![mystery closet balls person finds these tiny beige balls at appear inside their closet](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/mystery-closet-balls-62774.jpg?width=800&height=800)
Unfortunately, you're not going to like this, this person got an answer to these mystery beige balls. Turns out, it's termite poop.
Time to move.
