KEY POINTS

  • A plant-life object was spotted in Mars
  • It was in a photo taken by the Curiosity rover
  • The object looked like a rose with a long stem

A UFO expert claimed to have spotted a plant-based alien lifeform growing on the surface of Mars. He saw the strange object in a photo taken by NASA of a region on the Red Planet.

Claims about the existence of an alien planet on Mars was made by Scott Waring of ET Data Base. He came across the photo of the object through the website Gigapan, which features high-resolution panoramic photos of Mars.

According to the details of the photo, the stunning image was taken by NASA’s Curiosity rover on SOL 1448, which is equivalent to September 1, 2016. The photo resembles the other landscape images taken by the rover. It mainly features the Red Planet’s desert-like surface, with rocks of different sizes scattered across the ground.

As Waring was examining the photo, he spotted an object that caught his attention. The object, which can be seen in the lower-left portion of the Gigapan photo, resembles a flower sticking out from the ground. Waring noted that the object looks like a white rose on a long stem with a single leaf.

Unlike plants on Earth, the object Waring spotted on Mars has a strange base. Based on the photo, the bottom part of the stem looks like a tripod.

“I found loads of ancient artifacts from an intelligent civilization in a Mars photo today, but one thing really caught my attention...this white rose,” Waring wrote in a blog post. “The white rose is on the lower-left side of the photo. This white rose is actually a rosebud...that’s a semi-closed rose. It has a long stem and a single leaf on its right side.”

In addition to the alleged rose, Waring also spotted another plant-like object growing beside it. For Waring, these objects, which he strongly believes are plant-based lifeforms, prove that alien life exists on Mars.

Although he has already spotted various alleged alien artifacts on Mars, which he believes came from ancient civilizations, finding any type of life form is a rare opportunity.

“Proof that a type of life, probably plant-based still exists on Mars today, a white rose of hope,” he stated.
