	After proceeding down an "unnamed road" in the middle of a forest, the navigation system instructs the driver to come to a stop and turn off their headlights in 300 ft. The driver does so and sits in the darkness for some time. Suddenly, a monstrous roar can be heard. The driver quickly flashes ~~his~~ headlights, briefly illuminating [[Creature\|a strange humanoid creature]] in the distance.

	The video starts out as a long nighttime drive through a city in which the driver is being guided by their GPS system in November 21, 2014. The GPS says that the journey will take over two hours to reach the destination, and throughout the route repeats the phrase “you are on the fastest available route”.

	As the footage progresses, the navigation systems instructions become increasingly bizarre, instructing the driver to drive down a quarry utility road, a service causeway, and then eventually to make a U-turn to head down a road that has been sealed off. By this point, the driver has been travelling for well over four hours, and has entered an unpaved road.

	After proceeding down an "unnamed road" in the middle of a forest, the navigation system instructs the driver to come to a stop and turn off their headlights in 300 ft. The driver does so, and sits in the darkness for some time. Suddenly, a monstrous roar can be heard. The driver quickly flashes his headlights, briefly illuminating [[Creature\|a strange humanoid creature]] of a hybrid of a moose and a human in the distance. The footage then cuts to the driver driving quickly through the forest and trying to escape as the navigation first tells them their destination is behind them before telling them they are rapidly approaching it. Another roar can be heard, and the camera cuts to show the car has crashed. Flames can be seen, and a clear coughing sound can be heard, and the camera is on the ground with the date and time being blurred out, and the broken navigation system poorly speaks "You have arrived" before a final roar is heard.

	** There is a theory that this creature could have crash-landed from orbit.
	*It is implied that the creature itself is the destination. In the penultimate section as the driver is escaping from the creature, the destination continuously updates and becomes closer despite the driver heading in what is presumably the opposite direction.		*It is implied that the creature itself is the destination.

	*There is a Merritt Parkway and North 38th Street in Connecticut, but they are four hours away from each other. Furthermore, both are forty minutes away from Route CN 114 N mentioned in the video (nine hours if the video is referring to West Virginia’s Route 114, the state where Local 58 is broadcasted).		*There is a Merritt Parkway and North 38th Street in Connecticut, but they are four hours away from each other.
