A UFO expert claimed to have spotted the face of an alien on Mars in a photo taken by NASA. He also believes that the photo contains images of animal-like alien creatures.

The bizarre sighting was reported by Scott Waring through his blog ET Data Base. According to Waring, he came across the strange images while he was viewing a photo shared by NASA through its Photojournal website, which features photos taken by previous and current missions.

As indicated in the details of the photo, it was taken by the agency’s Curiosity rover in late December of 2012. It features a vast landscape of an area on Mars known as the Yellowknife Bay. According to NASA, the image showcases the diverse geological features of the region.

As Waring was examining the photo, he came across a strange object that he believes was part of an ancient alien statue. According to the UFO expert, the object features distinct carvings of two faces. For Waring, the strange object indicates than an ancient race of aliens once lived on the Red Planet.

“This NASA photo is just amazing. I found two faces of actual aliens that once lived, breathed and walked on Mars,” he stated in a blog post. “The fact that the two faces are squished together implies a more heartfelt bond...most likely there two were male and female...mates.”

Aside from the alleged face carvings, Waring also spotted two objects that looked like statues of four-legged creatures. Based on the image, the strange objects had distinct features that resemble those of a small animal on Earth such as a cat.

“Also there is a four-legged creature on Mars,” Waring stated. “The head looks like a cat sitting up on its hindquarters. Another statue, but it doesn't look like it’s a statue, this one has a smoothness of the skin as if it’s a living animal.”

Although Waring strongly believes that the objects he spotted are the remnants of an ancient alien race that once lived on Mars, they are most likely just oddly shaped rocks on the surface of Mars.
