Editor’s note: This story has been updated with additional information.
The online community is in a frenzy after recent satellite images disclosed several distressing ‘HELP’ signs constructed from debris in California.
The coordinates, pinpointed at 34°03’18″N 118°13’30″W, have sparked a flurry of speculation and concern among internet sleuths and conspiracy theorists alike.
These images, captured via Google Earth, reportedly first surfaced between September 2022 and June 2023. They depict large-scale signs clearly visible from the sky that spell out “HELP.”
Additional elements in the images suggest ominous undertones, with words like “TRAFICO,” “FBI,” “LAPD,” and “TERRORISMO” also pieced together nearby.

A curious Los Angeles resident, identified only as @LAguy310 on X, driven by the growing online hysteria, ventured to the site to verify the claims.
His findings confirmed that the signs are indeed still there.

Attempts to interview nearby residents yielded no results, as the locals have no idea who placed those signs.

UPDATE: During a follow-up visit aimed at rescuing the dog that was seen in his viral video, LAguy310 managed to speak with a homeless woman who provided a crucial clue.
She revealed that the signs were the work of a homeless man named “Jose,” who has been doing it for years.

Ok so apparently Jose is writing all the HELP signs and the dog is named SUS…a boy named SUS pic.twitter.com/ffkzkkLGwM
