NASA's Curiosity Rover spotted an image of the ruins of an ancient walled city on the planet Mars. This creates speculations among the UFO enthusiasts of a possible alien life on the Red Planet.

The walled city indicates a lost ancient civilization that could be built by ancient alien civilization. It also looks like the ruins of the walled city found in the Middle East and made of weathered stone walls.

In a blog post that entitled "Alien City Ruins on Mars? IN Official NASA Images," the alien conspiracy theorist said that in the last couple of years, the number of images showing alleged structures on the surface of the red planet has quadrupled. They also said that every single image taken by NASA's rovers on Mars shows at least one particular object which appears to be artificially carved or created. They added that while most of these objects are the result of pareidolia, other findings cannot be dismissed so easily.

Pareidolia is a psychological sensation that occurs when the mind perceives a familiar pattern of something that actually does not exist. These involve perceiving images of faces, animals or objects in cloud formations, the moon rabbit, the man in the moon and hidden messages in a recorded music.

Meanwhile, in the blog post, it is written that scientists believe it's possible that intelligent life may have created on the surface of Mars in the distant past. Scott C. Waring, a UFO hunter from the UFO Daily Sightings website said that similar images from NASA's rover show buildings with windows. He also claimed that NASA is trying to cover up the discovery of these structures to prevent the public from finding out, according to the Express.

On the other hand, scientists and conspiracy theorists are baffled with some questions on the existence of alien life on other planets. The possibility of such existence is another matter wholly. The alien hunters and enthusiasts and even some of the scientists continue to search for the extraterrestrial life proof based on scientific study.
