A UFO researcher claims to have found a "human-like face" from a Google Moon map image, to which he believes is proof that there exist other lifeforms other than human beings.
Scott C. Waring, the conspiracy theorist running the UFO blog ETDatabase.com, has found what he calls the face of a "human-like alien species" in one of the craters on a lunar surface. In a video posted along with a description, the blogger said that the face is merely one of the many clues that aliens have left behind to let humans know of their existence.
"I found a face of a human-like alien species in Hershel [sic] crater on Earth's moon using Google Moon map," Waring wrote. "The face appears to have a thick muscular neck, strong cheeks, upper and lower eyelids and eye, long curly hair and other well-defined features."
While spotting what appears to be a face on a lunar crater is weird enough, what's odd is that Waring seems completely unaware that the "Hershel" crater he was referring to was not of the Earth's moon, rather Saturn's.
Mimas, one of the planet Saturn's most well-known moons, has a distinctive feature that has caught the eye of scientists - its massive crater named after astronomer William Herschel.
The Herschel crater is 88 miles wide, close to one-third the diameter of Mimas itself. Its central mountain feature, called Herschel peak, is as high as Earth's own Mount Everest. The distinctive crater gives Mimas more than a passing resemblance to the fictional Death Star from the "Star Wars" science fiction universe. Images of the moon were first captured by NASA's Cassini spacecraft in October 2016, which put the massive crater into the spotlight.
Unknowingly, these were the images Waring was studying. Somebody ought to correct the self-professed UFO expert that the crater he was looking at in which he saw the face doesn't belong to Earth's moon.
That being established, Waring's credibility has become all the more questionable. Back in April, he admitted to altering a photo to bring out the alien structures he firmly believes were built on Earth's moon.
In his website, he posted archival photos of the alleged city left by aliens for humans to discover. But did Waring really discover an entire alien colony on the surface of the Moon?
His lack of knowledge in cosmic bodies implies that he's not into facts, unfortunately. Waring is weaving out conspiracies based on what his brain wants him to believe. It's possible he has fallen for the effects of a psychological trick known as pareidolia.
Pareidolia is common in UFO hunters like Waring, who see patterns, shapes, and faces that don't really exist, leading them to believe that a picture they are looking at is hiding evidence of aliens.
