UFO hunters claim to have found evidence of extraterrestrial life on Mars, exposing NASA photos of what they believe to be alien ruins.A purported alien ark has been photographed by NASA’s Mars Curiosity rover during its eight-year journey to the Red Planet. And although at first glance the alien ruins appear to be nothing more than oddly shaped rocks, some UFO hunters are convinced that this could be the real problem. These bizarre claims were made by prominent conspiracy theorist and self-proclaimed ET expert Scott C. Waring.

Bizarrely, he said the ark is most likely tiny, standing no more than 45cm tall.

But more of the structure could be hidden under the rusty brown sands that have swept away the rock.

According to him, the NASA photos are clear evidence of extraterrestrial activity on the Red Planet.

Mr Waring said: “I found a gate that stood on its own at the foot of a hill on Mars. »

“I found it in Sol 1381 and the detail is fantastic. »

“The arch is about 45cm high, but I believe the bottom of the gate is buried under the earth of the hill, so it is maybe twice as high. »

“The door is of course part of a larger structure that no longer exists. »

And despite the poor resolution of the zoomed image, the UFO hunter said there was extraordinary detail in the door cutout.

He added, “Any doorway that leads you to a better understanding of yourself is a doorway worth pursuing. »

But this is not the first time Mr Waring has shared outlandish claims about aliens on Mars.

Earlier this year he shared photos of what he claimed was a humanoid alien buried on Mars

A few days later, he again claimed to have found Curiosity photos of alien silhouettes on the Red Planet.

However, most scientists agree that there is no evidence of life on Mars, as far as can be determined.

It is suspected that very simple life may have developed billions of years ago and this theory will be investigated by NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover from February next year.

Instead, Mr. Waring’s supposed findings can be explained by a well-known phenomenon called pareidolia.

Pareidolia, which is a form of apophony, describes the brain’s tendency to see recognizable shapes and patterns in everyday objects.

Pareidolia causes people to see faces in car bumpers or animals in fluffy clouds.

NASA said: “Pareidolia is the psychological phenomenon that causes people to see recognizable shapes in clouds, rock formations, or other unrelated objects or data. »

“There are many examples of this phenomenon on Earth and in space.”
