UFO sighting: 'Elephant head' found in official NASA photos of Mars, claims UFO researcher

“I think its time for NASA to face the elephant in the room.”

UFO sceptics, however, will likely dismiss the discovery as a product of pareidolia.

Pareidolia, which is a product of apophenia, describes our tendency to see recognisable shapes and patterns in everyday objects.

In this case, an oddly shaped rock and shadows have confused the brain into thinking an elephant was found on Mars.

According to researchers at the University of New South Wales, pareidolia is hardwired into our brains.
