The internet is ablaze with debate over a startling new image allegedly showing a massive 1000-feet-wide (300 meters) UFO hovering near the Four Corners region—where Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah meet.
The image, which has circulated widely on social media, has sparked intense speculation, heated arguments, and calls for transparency in the ongoing global conversation about unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs).
The photo in question was reportedly shared by Luis “Lue” Elizondo, the former Defense Department employee known for his controversial role in exposing U.S. military UAP encounters. According to Elizondo, the photo depicts a “1,000-foot-wide silver flying saucer” captured in broad daylight.
But not everyone is convinced.
Internet detectives and skeptics were quick to offer an alternative explanation. A growing number of users claim the image is not an alien spacecraft at all, but instead an optical illusion created by two adjacent circular crop fields—a common agricultural feature in arid regions.
A viral comparison using Google Maps imagery shows that the two circular formations—one darker than the other—appear to align precisely with the features in Elizondo’s photo. The darker field, some claim, mimics a shadow, giving the illusion of a three-dimensional flying saucer.
“This is clearly a crop circle, not a UAP,” wrote popular debunker Dr. Disclosure on X (formerly Twitter).
“Mislabeling known terrestrial phenomena erodes public trust and undermines legitimate disclosure efforts. Please correct this mistake — your reputation is at stake.”
User Jeff Knox chimed in:
“Are you serious, guys? Have you never flown a plane? These irrigation circles are everywhere in rural America.”
This isn’t the first time Lue Elizondo has stirred controversy. His efforts to push for UAP disclosure have received both praise and criticism. In several high-profile cases, footage and photographs he presented were later discredited by the Pentagon or explained as misidentified drones, weather balloons, or camera artifacts.
Despite this, Elizondo remains a prominent figure in the disclosure movement, often appearing alongside scientists, lawmakers, and whistleblowers demanding government transparency on UFO encounters.
While the latest photo may turn out to be a false alarm, it hasn’t slowed momentum among UFO disclosure advocates.
At a recent panel in Washington D.C., hosted by the UAP Disclosure Fund, notable participants included:
During the event, Dr. Davis made a jaw-dropping claim: four distinct alien species have already visited Earth. He listed them as the “Grays”, “Norse”, “Reptilians”, and “Insectoids”—terms that have long appeared in UFO lore but remain unsupported by mainstream science.
As the public’s appetite for UAP disclosure grows, so does the scrutiny of every new piece of “evidence.” Whether the viral photo is a misunderstanding of agricultural patterns or something more mysterious, it reignites the global fascination with the unknown.
And while skeptics call for rational explanations, believers argue that smear campaigns and disinformation are tools used to cover up the truth.
For now, one thing is certain: the debate is far from over, and the internet remains deeply divided.
