Alien hunters say this unusual structure spotted on Google Earth may be a UFO base

UFO conspiracy theorists have been busy speculating about a mysterious landmark near Cairo that is visible on Google Earth.

Based on the overhead image, the desert complex appears to consist mostly of a large V-shaped structure with six circular formations placed around it.

A video uploaded by a YouTube user who goes by the name, Secureteam10, starts off by asking if the location is a "mysterious entrance to [a] secret underground base?"

The narrator goes on to say that although some people think it may be a military installation, he thinks there is a resemblance to the freemason symbol.

Meanwhile, others have suggested the possibility of a UFO base or alien landing area.

The Daily Mail quoted one commenter who points out that the structure is fairly close to a large highway, so it may not be the best place to build a secret spot.
