'Crashed alien spaceship' spotted in Antarctica through Google Earth

It seems Google Earth can now be used for finding extraterrestrial activities, as so-called alien hunters have claimed that an alien spacecraft has crash-landed on Antarctica based on what they saw on Google's program.

Photos taken directly from Google Earth's periodic feed reveal what appears to look like a strange object that has slid along the snow on a remote island off Antarctica near the 10,000-foot tall Mount Paget. The said remote island actually belongs to the United Kingdom and is named South Georgia Island with a population of 20 people.

Meanwhile, the said alien hunter group claiming that this was a crashed spacecraft call themselves Secureteam10 and has since gained quite a following after posting the said image online. What convinced them was the odd shape of the craft and the fact that it skidded for miles before coming to a halt, possibly signifying that it crash-landed at a high velocity.

Unfortunately for a lot of alien buffs and conspiracy theorists, "experts" have already explained that the said formation was just a result of rocks being pushed by nearby glaciers, possibly an indication of the melting ice formation. This may have caused the skid marks on the snow where the large and heavy rock was just being continuously pushed down a slope. There was also the fact that the supposed crashed spacecraft was also beside a mountain, so the expert analysis apparently has more weight.

Among those who have viewed the said photo was a person who claimed that he had been stationed on the island with the Royal Navy and stated that "The research station on the island asked us to fly a photographic recce over the entire island to document population and locations of reindeer. As the photographer on that recce, I can confirm 100 percent that what you see in the image is just the result of a glacial slide. Sorry."

Meanwhile, no aerodynamics or physics expert has weighed in on the alien spacecraft theory, meaning the photo could well have just been a natural phenomenon blown out of proportion.
