Crashed 190-Meter-Wide UFO Mothership Spotted On Mars, Alien Hunters Claim: Alleged Crash Site Is A Natural Geological Formation [Debunked]

The latest bizarre claim causing a stir on multiple UFO forums is the alleged discovery of a crashed “alien UFO mothership” in a NASA photo of the Martian surface.

Although some UFO fans who got carried away by the excitement of the latest fantastic UFO claim argued that NASA astronauts might still be able to fly the alleged piece of advanced alien technology abandoned on Mars, skeptics dismissed the wild UFO speculation, ascribing the alleged sighting to the overactive imaginations of conspiracy theorists.

The alleged saucer-shaped alien UFO stuck in Martian soil is more like a natural geological formation on the Martian surface.

The “alien UFO spaceship” was spotted by UFO hunter UFOvni2012 in a photo of the Martian terrain taken by NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor (MGS).

“A UFO… 190 meters wide, impacted the [Martian] surface at a low angle ending up half buried in the soil.”

According to UFOvni2012, in a video uploaded to YouTube on November 21, 2016, titled “UFO Crash Site on Mars, 190 Meters Wide Alien Spacecraft (MSSS),” a 190-meter-wide mound spotted in a photograph of the Martian surface taken by NASA’s MGS was in fact the remains of a crashed alien spacecraft half-buried in Martian soil.

The craft, according to UFOvni2012, was spotted in the Medusa Fossae, a geological formation located at roughly 5°S 213°E, near the Tharsis and Elysium volcanic areas of the planet.

UFOvni2012 alleged that NASA has deliberately kept the image secret by hiding it away in an obscure website location for years as part of the agency’s UFO non-disclosure policy. But now, eagle-eyed alien hunters have discovered the image and are revealing the “truth” about alien technology on Mars to the world.

In his analysis of the image, UFOvni2012 claimed that the photographic evidence suggests a massive, saucer-shaped alien UFO, about 190 meters wide (623 feet), that crashed into the Martian atmosphere hundreds, thousands, or millions of years ago and then impacted on the ground at a low angle.

“If we take a look at the crash site we see that the UFO, which is approximately 190 meters wide, impacted the surface at a low angle, ending up half buried in the Martian soil,” UFOvni2012 said in his YouTube video presentation of the alleged evidence of alien technology on Mars.

UFOvni2012 presented an “enhanced” version of the dark mound on Mars to help less imaginative viewers visualize the latest earth-shaking, or rather, Mars-shaking discovery of “advanced alien technology” on the Red Planet.

The roughly saucer-shaped UFO has an elevated section presumed to be the cockpit, according to the alien hunter.

However, some enthusiasts suggested that the structure could be an alien base on Mars.

“Looks like a base that opens the door and let light escape unto the sand dunes of Mars.”

“Or it can just be a damn meteor that crashed.”

But UFO blogger Scott C. Waring supported UFOvni2012’s suggestion that the dark mound was likely a crashed alien mothership UFO. He argued that the small dome on top of the mound was the control bridge or cockpit of the alleged craft.

Waring also claimed to have spotted a “long black window” across the dome that proves it was the bridge of the ship.

“Here is a crashed UFO in the shape of heart, and it has a control bridge on its top center domed area,” Waring wrote in a November 22 post to his UFO Sightings Daily blog. “You can see a long black window going across it, which proves it is the bridge of the ship.”

He also claimed to have spotted barely visible landing tracks left behind by the crashed craft that prove the alien pilot had managed to crash-land the UFO gently, causing minimal damage to vital machinery.

Waring was optimistic that the alien pilot took so much care crash-landing his craft that the engine must have been left largely undamaged and thus likely still able to fly.

This means that the first space agency — U.S., European, Russian, Chinese, or Japanese — to reach the crash site on Mars could come into possession of mostly intact advanced alien propulsion technology.

“The long and turned landing tracks left behind from the craft show that the ship crash landed as gently as it could,” Waring commented. “This means the ship still flies, but would need a lot of repair to make it safe.”

“[This is] something the US, Russia and China would all love to get their hands on,” he continued. “The craft is about 190 meters across since the photo does have a size chart on it.”

But Nigel Watson, a UFO research and author of the UFO Investigation Manual, was skeptical of the suggestion that the photo shows a crashed “alien mothership.”

“I think it is more likely to be a natural geological formation,” he told Metro. “Though there is added mystery to the allegation that the images have been removed from websites to keep this image secret.”

Watson joked that alien visitors to Mars might have also suffered a high rate of failure of Mars landing missions.

“Two-thirds of our missions to this planet have failed. Even NASA scientists jokingly call it the great ‘Galactic Ghoul.'”

“Now it looks like alien spacecraft suffer from the same problems.”

And going by the claims of UFO hunters, Mars is a huge junkyard filled with hulks of spacecraft abandoned by alien visitors to the planet over millions of years of history.

The Inquisitr reported in September that alien hunters claimed to have spotted a flying saucer UFO abandoned on top of a small mound or hill on the Martian surface.

Earlier in March 2015, alien hunters claimed to have spotted a giant, metallic flying saucer UFO abandoned on rugged terrain in a photo of the Martian region of Aram Chaos — 2.6°N, 21.5°W — close to Valles Marineris and Ares Vallis.

But skeptics dismiss claims that the Martian surface is strewn with UFOs and other artifacts of alien technology, ascribing alleged sightings to a psychological bug of the mind termed apophenia.

Apophenia describes a tendency of the pattern recognition functions of the human mind to perceive significant patterns in a jumble of random stimuli.

A special form of apophenia known as pareidolia refers to the tendency of the human mind to see faces and human forms — such as the face of Jesus or angel Michael — in unlikely places.
