"Saroo Brierly was separated from his older brother in a train station in India in 1986. For most of his life, he thought he would never see his family again. \nTwenty-five years later, he has reunited with his mother, thanks to the magic of Google Earth.\nBrierly was illiterate and didn't know the name of the village where he was raised. All he knew was that he rode a train for 14 hours to arrive in Kolkata after losing his brother in the train station near his home, the BBC reports. \nBrierly knew his home should be roughly 1,200 kilometers from Kolkata, because he remembered the approximate length of the train ride. He drew a circle with its radius around Kolkata on a map and began searching Google Earth. \nAfter four years of searching \u2014 while living with his adoptive parents in Tasmania, Australia \u2014 Brierly identified a familiar landscape in Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh. It was a waterfall where he played as a boy. \nBrierly traveled to India this year and found his mother.\n\r\nBONUS: 28 Google Street View Sightings\r\n\n\n\nTop 28 Google Streetview Sightings\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1. Birdman\n\nWe're hoping this was for a kid's birthday party... In fact, this scene and others were staged by Street with a View as a prank on Google.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Giant Cadaver\n\nLooks like a giant version of the game Operation. That would explain the gaping holes -- but not much else.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Inflatable Doll\n\nDon't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Car Crane\n\nThat's one way to tow someone.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. Fire\n\nHopefully the driver reported this.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. Flying Saucer\n\nE.T. or space geek?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7. Giant Chicken\n\nWhere's the stuffing? From the Street with a View project.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8. The Man in White\n\nAt least he's not worried about UV rays.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9. Renaissance Fair?\n\nYe olde street view. From the Street with a View project.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10. Police Apprehension\n\nMaybe it was just a friendly hello.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11. Flood\n\nAt least there are guard rails?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12. Wedding\n\nWe hope the Google driver caught the bouquet.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13. Parking Spot\n\nSpider Man likes his own parking shed.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n14. ET\n\nSome might say it's a lens flare. Some might argue it's a camera malfunction. It's the sunlight reflecting off the...lamp post...and a lens flare....and a camera malfunction, skeptics will yell!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n15. Crime in Progress\n\nMaybe the guy just forgot his keys. Or he's practicing for the free climbing contest. Hey, is that a lockpicking set dangling out of his pocket?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n16. Guy Leaving a Strip Club\n\nWe're gonna have to be honest here: the guy looks like he's merely paying for parking. But, that's a strip club behind him, and we will, of course, assume he just spent some sexy time with Mimi and Peaches. Is that a happy grin on his face? Sure it is.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n17. Guy Entering an Adult Book Store\n\nHey, it could have been worse. He could have been going out of a strip club, or something.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n18. Girls Sunbathing\n\nA couple of girls sunbathing on a lawn isn't exactly spectacular, but it's better than the blurry picture of the semi-naked babe on a truck.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n19. Cornelius and His Dog\n\nThere's a sad background story to this one. Read it here.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n20. The Internet Sucks\n\n\"The Internet sucks, come here for your erotic needs\", they say. Well, is Tera Patrick being all naked and naughty in there? Is she? Didn't think so.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n21. Semi-Naked Babe\n\nWe could open our web browser and find zillions of pictures of hot babes within seconds. In better quality. And more naked. But, there's something about finding a blurry pic of a semi-naked babe drawn on a truck on Google Maps that makes our heart race.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n22. Guy With No Head\n\nThis guy shouldn't complain, at least it's hard to identify him.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n23. Giant Pumpkin\n\nIt's a giant pumpkin. Right there in the field. Turn the image 180 degrees for a weird pink smoky...thing, too.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n24. He Sees Things We Cannot See\n\nThe cameras that Google is using for this aren't really working all that well.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n25. Your Face Called...\n\n...it wants its left side back.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n26. The Void\n\nAnd to your left, you can see the endless void that consumes all life. Please stick to the right side of the street.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n27. The Laws are There to Be Broken\n\nWell, at least he's not speeding by much.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n28. The Woz\n\nStreet named after Steve Wozniak.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
