Satellite image has conspiracy theorists convinced Megalodon's still exist
Many on TikTok are convinced that the ‘megalodon’ still exists, after an old satellite image of the huge shark went viral. The earliest megalodon fossils date to approximately 20 million years ago, and went extinct 3.6 million years ago. Recently a satellite image has gained lots of attention on TikTok as users claim that a huge shark-like shadow that can be viewed beneath the ocean’s surface is in fact the extinct megalodon. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter One TikTok, from an account dedicated to creepy and unsettling sightings, says: “The following video is footage from a satellite. When you zoom in it appears to look similar to a shark.” The video proceeds to zoom into the shadow and compare to the size of a 40-foot yellow bus, emphasising the size. @theyrewatchingusnow MEGALODON STILL OUT THERE⁉️ Follow Back Up: @theyrewatchingusnow2 #ocean #megalodon #megalodon? #shark #deepoceanvideo #deepocean #scary #unexplored #atlanticocean #pacificocean #indianocean #oceans #conspirancytheory #oceancreatures #realfootage #greatwhiteshark #oceansecrets #creepy #sharkattack #sharksattack #fyp #fypシ #fypシ゚viral #foryoupage #foryou #foryourpage #foryourpages #foryouuuu #viral #virallllllllllllll #viralvideo #viralvideosofficial #oceanconspiracy #trending #screammovie The image has many viewers convinced that the extinct species exists: “Humans had to adapt to all world disasters repeatedly, do why would it be impossible for animals to adapt,” reads one comment. Another commented: “They’re absolutely still alive. The ocean is quite deep and we’ve only explored 5-10 per cent”. “People keep saying we would’ve found a meg by now but do you have any idea how little of the ocean we have discovered?” One commenter told sceptics. The clips used in the TikToks come from a video shared on YouTube by Discovery in 2014 (as seen above) as part of their Shark Week feature. The satellite image was captured by NASA and initially caused huge concern as it looked like an oil spill. It actually turned out to be a swarm of non-hazardous microbes. Whilst investigating the believed oil spill at the time, after the satellite image was zoomed in that shark-shaped shadow raised eyebrows. Almost 10 years later it’s still not clear what the shadow was, but it’s clear there’s still speculation on if it is in fact a megalodon. Have your say in our news democracy.

Mother made to clean up after her son throws up in a supermarket
A mother was left furious after being made to clean up her son’s sick after he vomited in a supermarket. There are many instances discussed online that divide the internet, such as this supermarket etiquette, and one woman has continued the conversation after revealing a horrible moment she experienced. The anonymous woman shared on social media that she was in a Woolworths supermarket chain in Australia with her five-year-old and two-year-old when her youngest son vomited while they were at the self-checkout. She tended to her son and apologised to staff for what had happened but was shocked when they told her she'd have to clean the mess up herself. She explained: “Then I started to get really frustrated and flustered (I wasn't rude or anything like that), after I settled my son I apologised to staff for having to get someone to clean up, and the worker turned to me and said ‘no, you have to clean it up’.” The woman explained she started clearing up her son’s vomit while trying to manage her two children who were getting fussy. The mother continued: “My son was being a real handful the whole time, and we were so close to the front entrance that opened up to a busy road. “I started to clean, and the employee told a worker to stand over me to make sure I cleaned it up, meanwhile my son was trying so hard to run out to see cars.” The woman posted the story, asking other users if she should consider complaining to the supermarket and it’s fair to say the responses were split. One person wrote: “'As someone who worked in retail, they should have assisted her by at least scanning her groceries while she tended to the kids. Or offered to watch them while she was cleaning up so that the kid didn't run out.” Another said: “I’ve worked in retail for over 20 years and seen so many sick kids/grandparents. Never have I seen someone clean up their mess.” But, others believe the responsibility for the mess lies with her and she should have cleaned it up. “It would be lovely if the shop staff offered, however, they’re not obliged to and it’s 100 per cent your responsibility to clean up bodily fluids,” someone argued. Another claimed: “That's so gross, you should never expect workers to do your job for you.” How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Sign up to our free indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
