Ever since people started posting pictures on social media, some images have become iconic as meme templates while there are also those that left users baffled. People on social media are often captivated by optical illusions that can involve anything from a dress to a house. A recent optical illusion that blew up on the internet is a picture of six women sitting on a couch.



 

At first, it looks like a normal picture showing friends having a fun time together with a few beers in their hands. However, upon slightly closer inspection, you’d realize that there is something odd about the picture. Everyone is asking the same question: why is there six people on the couch but only five pairs of legs, as reported by UNILAD.

The third woman from the left sitting in the center of the couch wearing a leather jacket and blue jeans with a glass of wine in her hand only seems to have a torso and no legs. The illusion is so perfect that you can’t even say for certain where her legs are. People came up with their theories to explain the picture which they shared on Reddit.

"The second girls legs are behind first girls legs. I think," one user wrote. "Actually think the first girl has get legs draped OVER the second girls legs," quipped another. A third user dug deeper and provided a more elaborate theory. They wrote, "Number one has her legs crossed, no tear in the knee. Number two has only one leg visible, the tear is in her knee. Those legs are blending together. (Follow that tear down, there’s a split where there’s a sock on the right and not on the left. Number two has a tear in her knee and a visible white sock).”



 

While this particular illusion makes people scratch their heads, it isn't terrifying at first glance like another image that attracted attention online. That’s something that happened to a person on an airplane in a fairly recent incident. According to The Tab, the flyer saw what looked like an extraterrestrial life form on the plane staring right at them. Obviously, that was not the reality as they soon understood what was happening.

It was later revealed that the alien was actually just someone else’s ear. This person had put their hoodie on from the front, meaning the hood covered the front part of the face. They seemed to be asleep but their ear came out of the hood a little. It had a black earbud inside which made it look as if it was the eye of some unknown creature.



 

It was still scary for everyone who saw it for the first time and a lot of people shared that feeling. “The way I would crash out would have y’all thinking I’m worse than that white lady crashing out on that plane. I’m bout to crash out rn in fact,” one user commented on X. “The scream I would let out is just bizarre,” quipped another.
