UFO: Is there an alien craft at Area 51 on Google Maps?

RACHEL, NEVADA - JULY 22: A warning sign is posted at the back gate at the top-secret military installation at the Nevada Test and Training Range known as Area 51 on July 22, 2019 near Rachel, Nevada. A Facebook event entitled, "Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us," which the author stated was meant as a joke, calls for people to storm the highly classified U.S. Air Force facility on September 20, 2019, to address a conspiracy theory that the U.S. government is conducting tests with space aliens.

UFO sightings are commonplace near Area 51 but this time, it would appear that Google Maps has captured an alien craft in a hanger.

UFO sightings are reported every day around the globe. It’s pretty commonplace. However, yesterday, Express UK, reported that a prominent Ufologist thinks he may have found proof of alien contact on Google Maps.

Scott C. Waring has been a fixture in the UFO community for years. His website UFO Sightings Daily is a popular resource for individuals wanting to do research into unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP). Last week, he posted a video about a curious anomaly that he saw on Google Maps in 2010.

Apparently, in either S4 or S6 within Area 51, he located a mysterious hanger that appears to be housing a saucer shaped craft. Now, that was 9 years ago, but the image still exists today because he did a more recent search for it. To view the photo, click here.

According to the YouTube host, the object in question measures 108 feet! He apparently arrived at that figure using high tech photo editing software. If you take a look at the alleged saucer shape it looks as if it is positioned in front of the hanger doors.

Researcher Waring said that he used to work in the Air Force on a strategic command airbase performing maintenance on B-1 bombers. He was quick to point out that none of the hangers at that top-level security facility had rounded hangers.

There are what he terms several air conditioning units surrounding the building. Honestly, when you examine the image in question, it does look like a craft of some sort but is it extraterrestrial?

It has been well-documented in the past that our military has attempted to build UFO shaped craft. One only needs to take a look at Project 1794 from the 1950’s. A Canadian company called Avro was contracted to build flying saucers that would be vertical rising and travel at Mach 3.

The project was scrapped in 1961. This footage from the U.S. National Archives illustrates exactly how ambitious this program was.

The UFO in the Google Maps photo might be a different kind of drone that we are developing, the possibilities are endless if in fact, it is an aircraft. According to Bob Lazar who used to work at Area 51 and became a controversial figure in the 1980’s for stating that we are reverse engineering alien ships at the base, said that our government is in possession of 6 to 8 extraterrestrial vessels.

To support the case that the object is a drone, one of Waring’s viewers on YouTube, IrishLincoln commented:

"“That is Area 6 Yucca Airstrip. It is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) testing facility. Those buildings off to the side are not air conditioning units. They are device assembly buildings where work is performed on optics and weapons packages for mounting on drones to test them.”"

Playing devil’s advocate, could IrishLincoln be disseminating seemingly correct information to distract from what is really going on at Area 51? Area 6 is one of those places that was reported to exist or maybe not to exist but either way that description is rather revealing.

Since we go to such painstaking lengths to uphold secrecy at Groom Lake why all of a sudden get very specific about a certain place on the base? I don’t know.

We may never know if the truth is out there but we can keep searching.

Do you think the Google Maps photo is a UFO or do you believe it is some type of new drone technology? Let us know in the comments.
