Mysterious square on Mars ignites alien civilization debate
A mysterious square structure has been discovered on Mars, sparking interest and numerous speculations among space enthusiasts.
The internet has been flooded with conspiracy theories after an "ideal square structure" was discovered on the surface of Mars. Mars, one of our closest planetary neighbors, has long fascinated people. It is considered the best place for humans to inhabit in our solar system, right after Earth.
According to ladbible.com, the recent discovery on Mars is a mysterious square structure recorded by NASA's Mars Orbiter Camera in 2001. Photos of this nearly perfect "object" have gone viral on social media, eliciting lively reactions.
The structure's appearance, which seems "man-made," has stirred the internet. Proponents of the theory of a long-lost alien civilization quickly saw it as evidence of its existence. Skeptics point out that one photo proves nothing and more plausible explanations should be explored first.
Photo from Mars raises questions
The structure is real, and the photo comes from a small fragment of a crater on the planet, with the square at the top. This is not the first time we've been fascinated by seemingly unnatural structures on the Red Planet. In the past, internet users have claimed to find tunnels, faces, and even Bigfoot there.
This time, many people can't believe that an almost perfect square shape could form naturally without the intervention of something (or someone). However, it is worth noting that straight lines are not impossible. In responses to the original thread, it was pointed out that natural wonders such as the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, the Eye of the Sahara, or the "Fairy Chimneys" in Turkey might seem man-made to an alien visitor.
The image caught the attention of Elon Musk, a well-known Mars enthusiast who would undoubtedly be eager to send SpaceX there if he had the opportunity. "We should send astronauts to Mars to investigate," Musk stated in a social media post.
