Mystery Deepens: Google Maps Reveals Bizarre Structure Beneath Antarctic Ice, Sparking Alien Base Speculations

Hold onto your tin foil hats, because Google Maps has thrown us another cosmic curveball that’s got conspiracy buffs buzzing like bees at a barbecue. Imagine this: a saucer-shaped “UFO” chilling beneath an Antarctic cliff, just a few miles shy of a Polish research station—so close you could practically throw a snowball at it. Naturally, the internet’s collective imagination has exploded with theories that this could be a crash-landed alien spacecraft available for your viewing pleasure, no extra charge. But here’s the million-dollar question: could a colossal, 1,000-foot UFO really just be lounging around Earth’s coldest continent without anyone spotting it firsthand? While sci-fi fans might be ready to dial up the Transformers soundtrack, experts suggest this eerie orb is more of a natural lake impression than an interstellar landing pad. So, is it a tiny lake masquerading as a UFO, or is Bigfoot just taking a vacation down south? Dive into the enigma yourself right on Google Maps, and maybe grab some popcorn—because this is the kind of mystery that’s perfect for pondering over a cup of coffee. LEARN MORE.

Hold your horses folks, Google Maps users have stumbled upon another ‘UFO’ and it’s worrying conspiracy theorists everywhere.

People are convinced that a crash-landed alien spaceship is readily available for viewing online if you go to specific coordinates.

It’s worrying people on social media, and even more eerily, the item has been found in Antarctica.

Google Maps is the centre of numerous conspiracy theories, with many claiming they’ve seen evidence of alien life due to screenshots taken by satellites.

In all fairness, how would a 1,000ft UFO go undetected by humans, regardless of where it is on Earth?

But now, a round entity has been found beneath a cliff around 90 miles from the coast of Antarctica, which might be enough to get certain Transformers fans a bit excited.

Whether it’s man-made or something otherworldly, one American ufologist has claimed that it could be stuck under a rock in yet another conspiracy theory.

Almost appearing like an Oreo, it’s been theorised that the item might even be hidden on purpose, as UFO Sightings Daily website runner Scott C. Waring stated on YouTube.

“The UFO is still there! Too hard to recover or still being used?” he said.

To see the structure yourself, head onto Google Maps and type these coordinates into the search bar: 66°16’24.5″S 100°59’03.5″E.

It’s about 45 miles from a domed ice island known as Mill Island, while also being just six miles from the A. B. Dobrowolski Polar Station, a Polish research base.

The object has a silver line going around the rim, which has intrigued many UFO fans, though the rest looks to be black in colour, which stands out from the rock and snow around the object.

It’s heavily pixelated online, but there are some odd black lines also stretching between the plate and the rock.

Waring said on the UFO Sightings Daily website that while it was discovered two years ago, others spotted the UFO-like object even earlier.

A quick search on Reddit shows users asking about the object in 2021, labelling it as a ‘UFO crash site’ on the forum site.

One suggested it could be a ‘weather balloon’ while another said it could just be a ‘pond of meltwater’.

Others spoke about ‘weird stuff’ you can see in Antarctica, while others said it had an ‘ominous’ appearance.

Sorry to poke a hole in your fun though, UFO geeks, as a scientist from the University of Newcastle has revealed that it’s a ‘small lake in a rock basin’.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, glaciologist Professor Bethan Davies said: “There is a small patch of snow and the warmer lake water has a lower albedo so it absorbs more solar radiation,

“This is melting the snow, giving it the semicircular arc – not a UFO.”

A mapping specialist at the British Antarctic Survey named Laura Gerrish agreed, saying it looked ‘like a small lake’.

“This area is called the Bunger Hills, which is a largely ice-free region along the Knox Coast in Antarctica – and it has lots of small lakes and ponds,” she revealed.

These can form smooth edges along the edge of the ice, explaining its appearance online.
