Anthropologically, it is the man who spends his whole life in the jungle who might do this, as, never having seen things from a distance, he sees a nearing object growing and thinks it is the object growing and not the distance shrinking.

This has been shown true in some pygmies of some time ago who upon seeing the nearing/growing phenomenom for the first time, would become quite afraid.
