Antarctica is the planet’s southernmost most continent, where the geographic South Pole is located. The desolate desert, where temperatures can plummet to -90C, is home to some 1,000 scientists and countless penguins. But UFO conspiracy theorist Scott Waring believes he has now stumbled across something else in the icy wilderness, using Google Maps – the crash site of an alien spacecraft.

Waring took to his etdatabas.com blog in an attempt to explain his bizarre Google Maps find.

Waring added: “The purported alien spacecraft is 96m in length, while the trail is 448m, which is absolutely amazing. “You see all these broken pieces and the craft slid to its side when it came to rest. “This is a really strange ship which looks really ancient.

“The scene does not look like it happened yesterday, it looks like it has been around for a very long time. “It reminds me of the female air pilot Amelia Earhart, who some believe landed on an island. If you are an alien and land on this tiny island you are kind of screwed – it looks pretty desolate. “Hopefully any survivors contacted someone and were rescued, although I couldn’t find any alien structures.” The outlandish UFO claim soon attracted scores of comments on YouTube.
