True believers are over the moon about a gray spherical orb spotted on a Google Earth image from upstate New York — proof positive, they claim, that aliens paid the bucolic region a visit.

　　外星文明信徒欣喜若狂地在纽约北部的谷歌地球影像上发现了一个灰色的球形天体，他们声称外星人曾造访过这片田园区, 证据确凿。

　　The images were posted this week in a YouTube video titled “Sphere UFO Found on Google Earth Map” published by the user “UFOmania – The truth is out there.”

　　这些影像本周发布于名为“在谷歌地球地图上发现的球形UFO” 的YouTube视频上，由用户“UFOmania—The truth is out there”发布。

　　这段被浏览了28000多次的短片显示，此神秘球体出现在乔治湖边缘。
