A “DISK-SHAPED alien aircraft” has been spotted in a remote desert on Google Maps just miles from the ‘Cradle of Humankind’ fossil site.

The unusual object, concealed by some trees, was discovered in a deserted wasteland in South Africa by extraterritorial enthusiast Scott C. Waring.

The self-proclaimed UFO expert shared the extraordinary sight on his YouTube channel UFO Sightings Daily, which seems to have first appeared in 2015.

Amongst the swathes of desolate land, a metallic circular object measuring 59ft wide can be seen lodged in between some vegetation.

And to make the observation even more mysterious, it is situated just a stone’s throw from a renowned South African site where fossils of some of the earliest known life forms on Earth have been found.

The area, dubbed ‘The Cradle of Humankind’, has unearthed incredible artifacts of creatures who walked the planet before us, including some of the earliest known dinosaurs.

Scott, who is best known for making the eccentric claim he saw a 10,000 year old alien face carved on Mars, has caused a stir online with his latest video investigating the peculiar object.

Using Google Maps, he visited the coordinates 25°53’41.03″S 27°48’5.82″E and delved back through the years to try and observe the arrival of the aircraft.

En el video, he travels back in time to 2010 to see if the alleged spacecraft had landed, but only notices what appears to be an access road to the location.

Jumping forward five years to 2015, Scott then sees the disk-shaped object for the first time.

The UFO fanatic explained: “As we look closer, you can see there are some roads going up here, some trails back here from animals or something, but this is some kind of metallic disk.”

Looking later on in the year, he then excitedly tells how he caught sight of a distinctive circular mark surrounding the UFO.

Él continuó: “What the hell! I didn’t see this before, the disk is right here but there is a huge circle going around it.

“Maybe it’s marking like a radioactive area that could of hurt the plants or bushes or changed things, you know like a crop circle.”

A few months later, it appears that the circular markings have disappeared – although two vehicles are now visible to the left of the aircraft.

“There’s absolutely nothing in the area,” Scott dijo. “Somebody wanted this kept secret.

South Africa is the one country no one is ever going to expect alien technology and aliens manipulating the world.

“Somebody did not want anyone to know that this object existed back here.”

The object is almost impossible to make out in early 2016, as it has been hidden by the surrounding trees – before it remerges later on in the year, accompanied by what appears to be two buses nearby.

Scott speculated: “Are those buses? Why would there be buses out in the middle of nowhere in South Africa.”

He then measured the width of the object, which was a whopping 59ft wide – leading him to believe it is the perfect size for a 3 para 4 person aircraft.

Continuing into 2018, two long elements can be seen sticking out from either side of the object, which Scott suggested could be landing legs.

He questioned: “Do you think their trying to do something that we don’t know about in South Africa subtly, quietly, to manipulate technology and its evolution?

“South Africa is the one country no one is ever going to expect alien technology and aliens manipulating the world.”

The clip sparked an outpouring of admiration online, as alien hunters praised the “amazing find” and debated how the aliens chose such a remote spot.

‘AMAZING FIND’

“It makes sense for aliens to settle where humans couldn’t reach them,” uno escribió.

Another commenter added: “What an amazing find, now you’ve got me thinking of all the possibilities!

“So odd that its SO FAR away from civilization and so very well hidden.”

While a third chimed in: “AWESOME… wow in plain daylight… just unreal.”

Scott says he started his YouTube channel in 2007, and launched his website ‘UFO Sightings Daily’ en 2010 with the intention of saving those who claim to have seen UFOs from ridicule.

His videos have clocked up close to 30 million videos after making a number of wild claims over the years.

Footage of a large “cube” hovering above the ocean has sparked a number of fresh UFO chatter in October.

He also said Nasa had accidentally captured images of a crashed alien spacecraft and even a woman’s body on Mars.
