The search for extraterrestrial life has been the mission of a lot of people all around the globe. The interest in the possibility has even piqued Stephen Hawking's interest and attention as he cautioned against answering alien signals once one has been received. With the way the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has been acting with regard to the UFOs spotted in the International Space Station (ISS) video, recent events have pushed people to believe that the US funded permanent alien bases.

According to Sputnik News, the tourist and his uncle were out hiking and took a photo of the famous Skyline Ridge. They did not notice the spacecraft at the time they snapped a picture. The discovery was made later when the tourist was going through his photos.

The UFO is hovering over the isolated mountain known as Glacier Peak and though a photo was snapped, the men were not able to make direct observations.

"I was taking pictures of what I believe is Skyline Ridge, and I took several photos in a row," wrote the anonymous tourist on Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). "Only one contained what I believe is to be a space ship of some sort over the mountain to the right. I did not see this ship with the naked eye - my camera caught the only image of it."

Scott C. Waring, a relentless ufologist, took the photo and attempted to explain the situation on UFO Sightings Daily.

"This UFO probably came from an underground base, which has its entrance at the top of this mountain. The location would be almost inaccessible to humans, making it the perfect location to come and go unseen by human eyes."

The underground base that Waring was referring to is connected to the multiple conspiracy theories that claimed that US knows that there are aliens but insists on keeping it a secret from the public. If that's so, then only one thing's for sure: the secret is out.
