Web sleuth spots ‘UFO’ flying over Antarctica while searching Google Earth

GOOGLE Earth has been used as a tool to view real-time three-dimensional locations around the world but has also garnered a history of shocking results in rare instances.

One Reddit user claims to have found a “UFO” floating over Antarctica while he was using the search engine.

The user Leesoy shared a photo of a rocky-looking “unidentified” object apparently located at 74.0322S, 22.4506W along the southernmost edge of the continent.

He posted the photo with the caption: “UFO or Rock? Antarctica Google Earth.”

The photo features a white object on a brown background in an uninhabited area.

This isn’t the first time a strange occurrence happened on Google Earth. There have been multiple sightings of alleged unidentified objects or unexplainable sightings.

Back in December, a user had found a heart-shaped disk buried in ice sheets in Antarctica.

A self-proclaimed UFO specialist, Scott C. Waring, shared the images on social media, claiming that he had “discovered” what he called a “UFO disc.”

The sighting has not been confirmed by NASA, but that didn’t stop other subsequent theories about the disc from coming out.

The Reddit “sighting” comes a week after an ex-US Air Force nuclear weapons technician, Adrian Reister, claimed he saw a UFO while guarding nuclear weapons at a US Air Force Base.

Reister was stationed at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri between 2003 and 2007, where he would guard, maintain and move nuclear weapons.

He claimed the UFO was accompanied by “shadow people” and that he had spotted a “glowing orb” hovering around a nearby tree.

He added that he was sure it wasn’t any of the planes that belonged to the base as he was extensively aware of all the aircraft that were stationed there.

In recent times, the US government is more open to reports of “unexplained aerial phenomena” [UAP] than in the past. However, the focus is still on possible advanced technology being used by foreign powers—most notably Russia or China.
