The curious photo was reportedly captured on Sunday afternoon close to the city of Tarma, according to the local media.

The three young men did not see the dark saucer-shaped object until they looked at their photos the next day as they were honing their motocross abilities in the rough terrain.

The motocross racers appeared on a national news program in Peru as a result of the incredible shot.

They insisted that they did not alter the photograph, and after speculating that the abnormality might be extraterrestrial, they requested that experts look into the situation.
