UFO watchers say the spooky object causes a silhouette and its height means it can’t be a drone or helicopter
UFO watchers say the spooky object causes a silhouette and its height means it can’t be a drone or helicopter.
The image is one of 477 stitched together by mountaineer and filmmaker David Breashears as part of an amazing two-billion-pixel photo.
The mosaic image is intended to show Mount Everest in all its glory and stretches from the camp of 500 prospective climbers at the base to the sky above.

While it was created in 2012 it remains unclear exactly what the object is.
UFO Today adds in its coverage that there have long been rumoured to be secret underground ‘Area 51’-type bases in the area, especially in the virtually inaccessible Ladakh border area between India and China.

Last year declassified CIA files revealed seven sightings of UFOs were reported in the skies above Nepal and neighbouring India and Bhutan in 1968.
Two of those were in Nepal including one in which “a blazing object, flashing intermittently and accompanies by a big thunder sound” was seen disintegrating above the western part of the country.

The report goes on to state that a “huge metallic disc-shaped object with a six-foot base and four feet in height was found in a crater, five miles north east of Pokhara.”
Portions of a similar object were found nearby.
