KEY POINTS

  • UFO expert Scott Waring claimed to have spotted an alien structure on asteroid Eros
  • The photo of the alleged structure on Eros was captured by a previous NASA mission
  • Waring believes the structure was built by a race of intelligent aliens

A UFO expert claimed to have seen a massive artificial structure on the surface of the asteroid known as Eros. The expert believes the alleged structure was built by aliens.

Claims about the alien structure on Eros were reported by Scott Waring of ET Data Base in his latest blog post. According to Waring, he came across photos of the strange object in NASA’s Photojournal site.

According to details of the photo, the image was taken by NASA’s Near-Earth Asteroid Rendezvous-Shoemaker (NEAR Shoemaker) mission in 2000. It features the massive asteroid known as Eros.

Eros has an estimated diameter of 16.8 kilometers or about 55,000 feet wide. Given its size, it is considered as a potential Earth impactor that is capable of triggering a global extinction event if it hits Earth.

Since it is about five times bigger than the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs, an impact event caused by Eros has the potential to wipe out all life on Earth or even destroy the planet completely.

While viewing Eros’ photo, Waring claimed to have spotted a strange object near the edge of the asteroid. According to the UFO expert, the object caught his attention due to its strange shape.

Compared to its surroundings, the object has a distinct appearance. Waring noted that its square shape indicates that it is not a natural feature on the asteroid’s surface. Given the size of Eros, the UFO expert estimated that the mysterious object’s height and width could be about half a kilometer.

Based on the appearance of the object, Waring believes that it was built by an intelligent race of aliens that are living on the massive asteroid.

“I was looking through some NASA photos and came across this one,” Waring stated in a blog post. “The asteroid Eros was too dark, so I added light. When I did, I instantly saw the building on the far right side of it. The building is square in shape and really doesn't look natural, but instead looks like it was made by intelligent beings. Eros is 16.8 km across, so this building is close to 0.5 km high and wide. That’s a huge structure to be on Eros.”

Despite the claims made by Waring regarding an alleged alien building on Eros, NASA has not released information that could confirm his speculations.
