Photos taken by the European Space Agency (ESA) during its first planetary mission revealed an alien structure and a vessel inside the craters of Mars, a UFO expert claims. The mysterious objects were spotted in what is believed to be one of the oldest regions in the Red Planet.

The strange objects on Mars were spotted by Scott Waring of ET Data Base. He came across the objects as he was browsing Gigapan, which is a website that features panoramic photos of Mars, the Moon and other cosmic bodies.

As Waring was looking through the site, he came across a photo uploaded by the user Neal Spence. According to the details of the photo, it was taken by the ESA during its Mars Express mission. This mission, which was launched in 2003 marked the first time that the ESA explored another planet.

Through an orbiter and a lander, the agency was able to collect valuable data from the orbit and surface of Mars.

The photo was taken during the mission largely focused on a region on the Red Planet known as Arabia Terra. This area is characterized by craters, hills and sand dunes that have been battered and eroded by the strong winds on the planet. Due to its features, it has been regarded as one of the earliest terrains on Mars.

As Waring was going through the photo, he spotted a peculiar object inside in one of the craters within the region. Upon closer inspection, he speculated that the object could be a black-colored base with two floors. If the object really was a structure, it may have been used by the alien lifeforms on Mars.

Aside from the alleged base, Waring also claimed to have spotted a massive disk-shaped object inside a nearby crater. According to Waring, the object was most likely an alien spacecraft.

“I found some structures in a Mars photo,” he stated on a blog post. “One structure is a two-tier black base that sits at the center of a crater. Another interesting object is an alien disk that has landed at a 25-degree angle in a crater.”

“This is absolute proof that aliens exist,” he added.
