UFO sighting: 'Moon-sized' space ship has entered the Sun, alien hunters claim

There is, however, absolutely no evidence to suggest aliens are zipping around our solar system.

As far as scientists can tell, Earth is the only planet in our corner of space where life as we know it exists.

Instead, the UFO sighting is most likely a case of pareidolia.

Pareidolia, which is a form of apophenia, describes the brain’s tendency to see shapes and patterns where they do not exist.

The US space agency NASA said: “Pareidolia is the psychological phenomenon where people see recognizable shapes in clouds, rock formations, or otherwise unrelated objects or data.
