A UFO expert claimed that photos taken by NASA’s Curiosity rover on Mars revealed ancient sculptures of different alien faces. Aside from this, he also spotted several symbols that could be linked to the alleged ancient alien race that once thrived on the Red Planet.

Claims regarding the alien sculptures on Mars were made by Scott Waring of UFO Sightings Daily. The images where he found the strange objects were originally taken by the Curiosity rover on SOL 528, which is equivalent to Jan. 30, 2014.

At first, the images look very similar to the other photos taken by the rover on Mars. All of them featured Mars’ barren-like terrain filled with rocks and sand. However, after looking closely at the photos, Waring saw a couple of objects that caught his attention.

According to Waring, the photos contain remnants of ancient sculptures. He noted that these sculptures featured the faces of the alien creatures that once lived on the Red Planet.

In the photo featured below, the alleged alien face can be spotted near the right side of the image. On this side of the photo, a rectangular-shaped rock can be seen next to a large boulder near the edge of the image. The lower half of this rock has a face-like design complete with eyebrows, eyes, a cheek and a nose.

Over at his blog, Waring shared a mirrored image of this rock to show how the complete face would look like. According to the expert, the image indicates that the aliens had an elongated head, which could suggest that they have highly developed brains.

“Here we have before us the face of an ancient alien species,” Waring wrote on a blog post. “Their skull is very long which would indicate that they are highly intelligent.”

Aside from the sculptures, Waring also spotted various symbols that appear to have been carved into the rocks scattered in the photo. He noted that the symbols could be hieroglyphs.

Since the alleged symbols and sculptures were discovered within the same place, it is possible that the area could be the site of an ancient temple or tomb.
