NASA has been exploring Mars for years both from space and, thanks to their Mars rovers, on the surface of the planet too, and while they are learning a lot more about the Red Planet, they are also uncovering some very curious things as well. Recently, images have been released that seem to show things like an "alien boot," metallic wreckage, a flying UFO, a mysterious doorway, "alien arms," strange carvings and what looks like an actual alien. Now, a large structure has been spotted on Mars.
Scott C. Waring of UFO Sightings Daily shared the discovery in a video. In the clip, he shows exactly where the object is on Google Mars and, using the app's tools, he measures what he calls the "ancient structure." It is apparently over one mile long and just under half a mile wide. He points out how odd the object is in comparison to its surroundings, saying, "It really doesn't belong." Waring also suggests it is a ship of some kind that landed on the planet years ago and is sitting on top of the ground. He also calls out the amount of dust on it, explaining that it is from "a millennium of sitting there."
Commenters were split on what they were seeing. Some agreed that it was a craft, comparing it to cigar-shaped UFOs that have been spotted in the skies. Others thought it wasn't a structure, rather it is an opening that has a tunnel entrance on the left. There were non-believers too, who stated things like, "It looks like a crater from an asteroid impact going sideways to me. Just a geological formation," but in response, those who were certain it is something unnatural, pointed out that there are shadows next to the object, which wouldn't happen with a crater.
No word from NASA on what it could be.
