Conspiracy theorists have posted a video on YouTube claiming that there is a mysterious pyramid in the Antarctic and that US Secretary of State, John Kerry, visited the “alien base” within the pyramid last week.
The video, which was posted by Third Phase of the Moon, shows a pyramid-like structure in the snow, with a Google Earth-type label and pin. It is labelled “Antartica Pyramid” – a misspelling of Antarctica, which suggests that the image might have been edited.
It is unclear what the structure could be, however, it looks very similar to a natural mount peak that juts up above glaciers.
Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual, told MailOnline: 'Pictures of the pyramid structures are either photoshopped, cropped pictures to make the mountains look more like pyramids or simply pictures of natural formations called nunataks.
'They are mountainous formations created by shifting glaciers and erosion, not by laser zapping aliens.'
YouTube viewers have varied reactions with some dismissing the whole idea, such as Gordon Anderson, who said: 'I have spent a LOT of time on snow covered mountains- skiing down, and this looks natural to me - not man made anyway!'
