UFO hunters have reported an apparent ‘alien’ anomaly above The Vatican in an archive photo.
The latest alleged UFO sighting has electrified alien life conspiracy theorists online. Reportedly found in a photo dated October 2007, the series of images depicts the world-famous dome of St Peter’s basilica. But lurking to its right is a suspiciously-shaped anomaly, some have claimed is an alien spacecraft.
UFO hunter Scott Waring believes the unidentified flying object’s shape closely a flying saucer.
He said on his UFO Sightings Daily blog: “This report is from 2007, but just reported today at MUFON.
“An orange disk was caught in a photograph over Vatican city.
“UFOs have been seen over the Vatican before, but orange UFOs are usually seen in South America and Central America, so this is odd.

“The object is a disk viewed from the side.
“The disk doesn’t have the classic hump but instead its upper centre comes to a point and lower centre is flat no bulge at all.
“For me, I can clearly see this is a disk. It’s a little in focus so its not that far back. It looks to be about 10m [33ft] across.
“If it was travelling fast it may have gotten caught by accident.

“This is absolutely real and absolutely alien in origin.”
Then, without offering any actual evidence, Mr Waring proceeds to suggest a bizarre explanation for the alleged anomaly.
He said: “The Vatican’s stance of alien life comes mostly from scientific analysis of chemicals, substances and textbook strategies of old.
“Vatican astronomers would never confirm any UFO as being real, unless it landed in Vatican City.
“It’s a more exact method of science, but its a very slow method.”
However, a more rational explanation for the anomaly is it is plane, quite possibly reflecting sunlight.
The UFO watcher also provides an account from the alleged original eyewitness.

The unnamed person is quoted as saying: “Never noticed flying disc while shooting scores of photos from Rome’s Pincio Promenade looking downwards towards Vatican City.
“UFO only appeared during photo review after returning from travels.
“Clearly a disc under 100 feet in diameter in upper left of picture.”
