A MYSTERIOUS object found on a remote island off Antarctica has sparked theories of a crash-landed spaceship.

Alien hunters believe the bizarre tracks left behind the large object may suggest extra-terrestrial origins.

It was found on South Georgia Island — a British territory with a population of 20.

Using satellite mapping, web theorists at well-known alien site Secureteam10 zoomed in on the unknown mass near the 10,000ft tall Mount Paget.

It appears to have slid for a considerable distance before grounding to a halt.

Footage of the object posted online yesterday has already garnered more than 100,000 views.

But many believe the object is little more than a rock that has been pushed along from the nearby glacier.

A viewer who claimed he had been station on the island with the Royal Navy punctured the ET theory.

Rain606 said: "The research station on the island asked us to fly a photographic recce over the entire island to document population and locations of reindeer.

 Some suggested the object is a rock being pushed by a moving glacier or a piece of ice that fell from the nearby mountain

"As the photographer on that recce, I can confirm 100 per cent that what you see in the image is just the result of a glacial slide. Sorry."

Others saw a funny side to the clip.

One joked: "Santa had a little to much to drink".
