UFO fanatics have claimed to have spotted evidence of an engine on Mars which belonged to advanced aliens who once lived on the Red Planet. The object, which looks like a long, cylindrical metal object, was discovered in NASA images of Mars. Alien hunters are claiming the apparent device is not only evidence of advanced aliens, but also that their technology was a lot more developed than our own.
The strange finding was made by prominent conspiracy theorist Scott C Waring, who described it as the elusive “proof” that aliens exist.
Mr Waring wrote on his blog ET Database: “I found an ancient artifact on Mars today in a Gigapan photo.
“The photo shows an object laying on the surface of Mars that closely resembles todays modern jet engines.
“The object is old, dented and has a layer of dust on it, but it still stands out clearly from the other objects in the area.
“This evidence is proof that aliens on Mars did have engines far more advanced than our own. Engines capable of not using wires or tubes, but using micro tech built directly into the objects structure.”
However, sceptics and NASA would say the engines and other similar findings are just the effects of pareidolia – a psychological phenomenon when the brain tricks the eyes into seeing familiar objects or shapes in patterns or textures such as a rock surface.
Another recent finding which supposedly supports the argument of life on Mars was that of a supposed statue of a Martian god.
The apparent statue is found enclosed between the bottom of two Martian cliffs, with Mr Waring claiming it is made out of copper or a “golden metal”.
He wrote on his blog ET Data Base: “While looking over some Mars photos, I came across a strange figure hidden in the lower part of a hillside.
“The figure looks like its made of a copper or golden metal. I know this because the colour is very different from the colour of its surroundings.
“This was probably a god, a statue of a god that the people on Mars prayed to for protection.
“The statue itself has a head, a thick chest with a long robe covering it, a large book or shield on one arm.
“Very amazing discovery and absolute proof that ancient intelligent aliens not only lived on Mars, but prayed on Mars.”
