What is this in Antarctica?

I saw a discussion on this photo in Antarctica on Google Earth. 61°57'50.91"S, 58° 3'44.74"W
At first I thought it was just a crack or outcropping of rock.

Do cracks and out croppings reflect sunlight like this does?

I don't see it reflecting direct sunlight, which only hits it on the very left where it's dark.
The rest of it is in the shade of the nearby hill, and is not being struck by direct sunlight. Could be a patch of ice or a crack that partially filled in where you see some reflection from the uneven filling in the middle of the crack. There are other features in the area which appear to have such an origin.

I'm trying to find the same photo that you have, but I can't. I'm using G.E. Pro, same coordinates, and elevation that your photo displays. Here is what I found.

And comparing it to mine.


Here is both of the areas in 1 image.

The smooth edged object in my photo is a little over a mile away
from the co-ordinance that are displayed in your photo.
Why can't I find your image?

I saw three of those once..
Where is that pic from?

I've described my sighting several times as a reflective football UFO with the bottom flattened

I dunno, if it was shot from above you'd think the object would be circular, not as though it was viewed side on and the lighting of it isn't consistent with where you would expect light and shadows to be considering the direction of light.

Plenty of reports with saucers tilting up on edge and zipping around like that. And just looking at the object, the shading and lighting angle , metallic shine, and all of that is right where I would expect to be seeing it.. Unless the image is a fabrication and not really a satellite image, then it must be exactly what it appears to be.

lol, watch it be blurred out or patched over in a few days now.

My favorite UFO's are the ones
that stick out half way, so we
can find them easier.

A flying hat. Especially the last picture in the OP.

Firstly, this was reported by SecureTeam10...so you know it is likely a hoax.

Published July 29th.


Secondly, there is no shadow under the disk on the snow...so you know it is likely a hoax.

nice find

looks like an rock or photo splicing glitch

It worries me that space aliens come all this way and then keep crashing in a remote part of Antarctica ..... Or maybe thats a good thing?

CNN hoaxes, Washington Post hoaxes, MSNBC... so now you want to add Google Earth to the list as well?

OK, you mean "photo B."
Here is the link:
www.ancient-code.com...

Best hypothesis...a cavity in the snow or a rock outcropping. Good find though.

Neat photo. But, if it were a UFO, like the photo your provided, wouldn't that Antarctica pic mean the UFO pilot is flying on his side?? Like, perpendicular to the ground?

Assuming the gmaps pic is looking downwards...

a reply to: Violater1

looks an awful like a portion of an exposed cravasse.

Shadows and optics in these regions can cause illusions.

I don't know, have you tried moving the date slider? I noticed each area has a different selection of dates to choose imagery from.

The image in the OP I believe has a 2010 date and the image I posted I believe is from 2016. If you look at the same area on different dates you definitely will see different features because crevasses come and go, old ones fill in with snow, and new ones open up. Another thing is the position of the sun may change from image to image so the big shadow we see in the 2010 OP image from the nearby hill isn't present in some older imagery where the sun is at a different angle.

Good point, I thought of that too but someone might think it's a crashed UFO that ploughed into the ground sideways, LOL.

It wouldn't normally fly in that orientation if the Helfin photo of the train wheel in the OP is an indication of how toy train wheels normally fly, I mean how flying saucers normally fly.

Looks like google forgot to remove the glitch from the camera image. NASA usually removes all these glitches when they turn up. Just poor editing.

I used the image data as seen on the photos supplied in the above posting.
Mine all say "09/11/2005."
