Self-professed UFO expert and conspiracy theorist Scott Waring has once again posted "proof" of alien life, this time on the Red Planet.
Waring, a controversial blogger who regularly posts theories on the existence of aliens, has updated his website with a new entry claiming a new discovery: an ancient Egyptian sarcophagus in a Mars photo captured by NASA. According to the conspiracy theorist, the casket appears to be found in what he can only describe as a burial ground, which has convinced him of an alien civilization existing somewhere on the planet.
The photo, which was taken in 2007 by NASA's Opportunity rover, is one solid proof that aliens have been trying to communicate with us, Waring believes. He says that aliens have left the sarcophagus intentionally to show humans that there are other life forms in space and that they have been leaving us clues for years.
"When looking at a Mars photo I found a long casket similar to what you will find here on Earth. It's a stone casket, much like the larger outer stone boxes for Egyptian golden sarcophagus," Waring wrote. "It has a top stone that is perfectly cut to match the lower case. The casket itself is about 2 meters across."
Other than the supposed casket, Waring claims to have found carvings of faces, unfinished statues and "alien technology" that he thinks were left behind by Martians. Apparently, these extraterrestrial life forms have created statues as an homage to their heritage.
Waring isn't exactly a character you would actually believe, truth be told. His posts are often discredited, and NASA itself said that the photo features the rock formations on the cliff of Cape St. Vincent in the Red Planet's Victoria Crater. And if you ask this UK publication, Waring is nothing but a "bonkers UFO-hunter."
NASA believes that finding life on Mars is a possibility, but the organization is yet to find proof of its existence. To this day, we still don't have enough evidence of alien life. We don't even know what they look like.
As for Waring, he may have pareidolia, a term used to describe the brain's tendency to form shapes or faces out of random objects, or hear hidden messages in songs and whatnot.
Pareidolia often leads to believing something is the truth, when, in fact, it's just your brain playing tricks. This can only explain Waring's false discoveries. Undeniably though, conspiracy theorists are a wild bunch.
