A self-proclaimed ufologist has claimed footage of himself fighting off and being abducted by aliens has been caught on camera, by Google maps.

A man who called himself John Mooner, from Newton Abbot in Devon, is no stranger to an alien encounter claim.

He claims a 'real alien abduction' has been captured taking place on Google's satellite cameras.

THE 'ABDUCTION' Mr Mooner claims he does not remember the abduction at all, but is convinced it is himself in the footage. 'I do remember sporadic episodes of missing time throughout the year of 2016 and going back through the previous years,' he said. He is convinced from looking at a series of pictures that he was abducted. 'The shocking thing about this was that it's me being abducted by a grey alien and the satellite image clearly shows me trying to fight off the grey alien by punching it in the face,' he said.

'I was having trouble with the Google Earth app that was installed on my computer so I looked for an online option and found Google satellite maps,' Mr Mooner told the Torquay Herald Express.

'I thought to myself I will view the area where I was UFO spotted from last year and look for anything out of the ordinary.

'I was left speechless by what I saw.

'The satellite has captured a real alien abduction taking place.'

The pictures were released by Mr Mooner, and he claims he took them from Google maps, and where exactly the abduction is thought to have taken place is unknown.

'The shocking thing about this was that it's me being abducted by a grey alien and the satellite image clearly shows me trying to fight off the grey alien by punching it in the face,' he said.

'Looking at the image it appears that the alien has blocked my punch and has grabbed my fist and must of been able to subdue me [sic].'

Mr Mooner claims he does not remember the abduction at all, but is convinced it is himself in the footage.

'I do however remember sporadic episodes of missing time throughout the year of 2016 and going back through the previous years,' he said.

'I do remember wearing a black baseball cap and shirt. This is definitely me on the satellite image.'
