My daughter also got into it and started researching on Google Maps. Initially we could not believe that actually there is a man and shadow of a man like figure but later she researched and found that this may be a dust particle stuck on the camera with which Google Maps were captured. She found a repeated image on the same length. See below and try it yourself.

These are the four locations found Google Earth(Moon) which have the same shadow.
