What They Found In The Middle Of The Desert Using Google Earth Is Incredibly Freaky

Google Earth is probably the best thing to happen to alien hunting in the last 100 years. With a simple click of the mouse, users can explore far-flung places and look for signs of alien activity across the globe.

There’s usually not much to be found, but every once in a while, true believers get lucky and find what they consider to be compelling evidence.

Last week, UFO hunters using Google Earth found this bizarre-looking complex in the desert just outside of Cairo, Egypt.

The complex contains two large, pointed buildings and some mysterious structures in circular formations.

Some argue that these buildings play a role in a government conspiracy.

Less dramatic theorists have pointed out that they could be part of a movie set, presumably for the upcoming Star Wars film.
