Footsteps?

is

   There's definitely something fishy going on there: if you look at the same place with Local Live, it comes as the worst piece of aerial photo they can produce. All patched up together with sticky tape. 

No footprints and no giant there, but surely something to hide.
We should ask Carshalton to investigate; after all, he works 5 minutes away from there!

	Surely this just confirms that the Earth is a giant football and thet Reigate just happens to be on one of the seams!

	Ohh time to be technical. The orginal google pic has very litle slant angle (ie it was taken from almost over head) and judging by the lack increase in slant angle as you move across the image it would have had to be an extremly high flying ac to get it, therefore most likely to be a commercial sat image. Also the photo has no seams/joins suggesting a single image, at least across portion we are interested in. All this suggests that there is not a smudge on the lens, gotta be Giants! Also if you look at the composite picture you'll see that the portion where the Giants footprints are was taken earlier than the google shot, notice the lack of path!
