A UFO expert claimed to have spotted a statue of an alien humanoid creature on Mars. The expert believes the strange object could be a statue of a prominent figure on the Red Planet.

The strange sighting was made by Scott Waring of ET Data Base. According to Waring, he was browsing the website Gigapan when he came across the strange image. Gigapan is a website that features high-quality panoramic photos taken on Mars.

According to the details of the photo, it was taken by NASA’s Mars Curiosity rover on Sol 844, which is equivalent to Dec. 20, 2014, on Earth. The photo features a stunning glimpse of Mars’ rugged terrain. It shows Martian hills covered in various sized rocks and boulders.

Waring pointed out that one of the hills on the photo features a cluster of rocks. One of these rocks, which is located near the side of the hill, caught Waring’s attention due to its appearance.

After zooming in on the object, Waring noted that it could be the remains of a statue. Based on its appearance, the UFO expert claimed the statue depicts the head of an alien creature.

“I was looking at this Mars photo when I found a face looking out to the horizon,” Waring stated in a blog post. “The face sits on the side of a hill and is made of a stone substance, much like the sphinx face made in Egypt.”

After examining the alleged statue head, Waring claimed that it has physical features that are similar to that of a human female. Also, since the alleged alien creature was depicted on a statue, the UFO expert believes that it might have been a prominent member of an ancient race that once lived on the Red Planet.

“This face has softer edges and rounder cheeks, making me believe it’s a woman...probably a queen or important woman in their culture,” he stated. “You can see her hair flowing down the back and side of her face. Extraordinary and important evidence of ancient alien cultures on Mars. They don't look too much different than we do, do they?”
