外星猎手称在谷歌地图上发现了不明飞行物

True believers are over the moon about a gray spherical orb spotted on a Google Earth image from upstate New York — proof positive, they claim, that aliens paid the bucolic region a visit.

外星文明信徒欣喜若狂地在纽约北部的谷歌地球影像上发现了一个灰色的球形天体，他们声称外星人曾造访过这片田园区, 证据确凿。

The images were posted this week in a YouTube video titled “Sphere UFO Found on Google Earth Map” published by the user “UFOmania – The truth is out there.”

这些影像本周发布于名为“在谷歌地球地图上发现的球形UFO” 的YouTube视频上，由用户“UFOmania—The truth is out there”发布。

According to the short clip – which has been viewed more than 28,000 times — the mysterious sphere was spotted on the edge of Lake George.

这段被浏览了28000多次的短片显示，此神秘球体出现在乔治湖边缘。

“Many past UFO reports describe round sphere UFO’s and it does seem to be the most common shape of UFO’s around the world,” a female robotic voice narrating the video says.

“过去许多UFO报告都描述了圆球状UFO，它确实是世界上最常见的UFO形状。”一个讲述视频内容的女性机器人声音说道。

The coordinates given in the YouTube video do not match the location shown on Google Earth and, according to the clip, the orb was spotted near Shelving Rock Mountain, but Google Earth shows it being at Black Mountain.

YouTube视频中给出的坐标与谷歌地球上显示的位置不匹配，视频显示该球体出现在岩架山附近，但是谷歌地球显示它在布拉克山。

Many slammed the post as fake alien news.
