Antarctica has been a hotspot for UFO investigators in recent months, with sightings ranging from a pyramid erected by a vanished civilization to an alien-made stairway.
In their most recent odd claim, extraterrestrial enthusiasts assert they have discovered ET's ship buried in a South Pole cave.
Their "finding," based on what they claim are Google Earth satellite photographs, was touted as "final confirmation of hidden technology" in Antarctica.
From a pyramid constructed by a vanished civilization to an alien-built stairway, Antarctica has been a hotbed for UFO researchers. Now, in their most recent odd claim, extraterrestrial enthusiasts assert they have discovered ET's ship buried in a South Pole cave.
The assertion was made by the Cleveland, Ohio-based YouTube channel Secure Team.
At a cave in a hilly region near the South Pole, they discovered what they assume to be a disc.
Secure Team stated, "This is a bombshell discovery and one of the most evident artificial and aberrant buildings we have seen at the South Pole."
This follows a report made earlier this month that Antarctica contains a huge stairway.
The 'find,' allegedly discovered via Google Earth satellite photographs, was characterized as "final confirmation of hidden technology" in Antarctica.
An picture claiming to be a satellite photograph of Antarctica has surfaced, and believers in extraterrestrial life think it proves aliens are visiting Earth.
The image was shared on a site for UFO and conspiracy theories.
An unknown member uploaded the photograph to the Godlike Productions forum alongside a note.
The message stated, "This morning in the work van, we were discussing conspiracies, and one of them was concerning so many famous people traveling to Antarctica out of the blue."
I was bored, so I used Google Earth to explore for a bit, until I stumbled across what appeared to be a massive stairway.
Does anyone know what it is? Just a problem with satellite cameras? Or is there more?'
Others provided more plausible answers, such as a lens anomaly or snow dunes.
The latest in a string of odd claims made by conspiracy theorists is that Antarctica contains a massive stairway. A purported satellite photograph of the Antarctic has surfaced, and believers in extraterrestrial life argue it might indicate aliens are visiting Earth.

Because the user did not disclose co-ordinates, several questioned the authenticity of the image, which the poster claimed was from Google Earth.

Another photograph of a 'dome' in Antarctica prompted allegations that a civilization previously inhabited the icy continent.
The image, which was purportedly from Google Earth, depicted an oval-shaped structure that was estimated to be 400 feet (121 metres) in diameter.
Some have argued that the building is "proof" that humans formerly inhabited the South Pole, while others have suggested that it may be a natural phenomena.

What if, eons ago, when the Earth and Antarctica were vastly different from what they are today, an ancient civilisation formed there and built beautiful structures, monuments, and temples? a post on Ancient Code states.
According to the article, experts at first believed the discovery to be a sastrugi, a natural phenomena generated over years by strong, cold winds and heavy snowfall.

Claiming that a secret pyramid exists in the Antarctic, a new bizarre hypothesis arose last year.
Conspiracy theorists have uploaded a video on YouTube claiming that US Secretary of State John Kerry visited Antarctica last week to inspect a 'alien outpost' inside the pyramid.
The film implies that the photos are from Google Earth, although it is unknown if they have been altered.
Third Phase of the Moon, a YouTube channel that frequently shares extraterrestrial conspiracy claims, uploaded the video.
It displayed a pyramid-like building in the snow, with a label and pin like Google Earth.
The label says "Antarctica Pyramid," a misspelling of Antarctica that shows the photograph was altered.
Other people supported the assertions, like James Jason, who said, "Great report Third Phase, I also feel things are going to turn extremely dramatic, and that's for everyone on the globe."
Others, such as Gordon Anderson, were skeptical, stating, "I have spent A LOT of time skiing down snow-covered slopes, and this seems natural to me – not man-made!"
Last year, a weird notion positing the existence of a mystery pyramid in the Antarctic arose. Conspiracy theorists uploaded a YouTube video claiming that US Secretary of State John Kerry visited Antarctica last week to inspect a "alien facility" beneath the pyramid.
Some quipped that John Kerry was in Antarctica for other reasons, such Daniel Schultz, who stated: "#27 on his bucket list, travel to Antarctica and make'snow angels' where no man has gone before."
Uncertain as to what the building may be, it resembles a nunatak, a natural mountain peak that protrudes above glaciers.
Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Handbook, told MailOnline: 'Pictures of the pyramid constructions are either manipulated, edited to make the mountains appear more like pyramids, or images of nunataks, which are natural formations.
Mountainous structures are the result of moving glaciers and erosion, not laser-wielding aliens.
Conspiracy theorists frequently find the pyramids intriguing.

It depicts a snow-covered pyramid with a Google Maps-style caption and pin. The label says "Antartica Pyramid," which is a misspelling of Antarctica, suggesting that the image was maybe altered.
In October of 2012, a YouTube video claimed that a crystal pyramid under the Bermuda Triangle was responsible for the disappearances of several aircraft and ships.
Mr. Watson noted, "Pyramid constructions have always possessed an aura of mysticism."
In the 1970s, it was widely believed that such devices could preserve food, provide health advantages, and even keep razors sharp.
