An image snapped by NASA’s Mars rover has sparked theories of aliens on the Red Planet.
Among the rocky landscape is a cylinder-shaped object that appears to be casting a shadow on the ground.
People have likened ‘the object’ to what a Navy pilot saw in 2004.
David Fravor was flying over the Pacific when he spotted a ‘perfectly white, smooth’ object, which later became known as the famous ‘Tic Tac UFO.’
Others are not sold on the UFO claims, saying the image shows the typical Mars landscape that is littered with oddly shaped rocks.
‘There is no scale on that pH๏τo and it’s not airborne. It’s just a smooth rock from wind barely connected to a larger section of rock,’ one Redditor shared in the post.
The pH๏τo was taken by NASA’s Curiosity in 2020 amid its more than 10-year investigation for ancient signs of life on Mars.

Another X user agreed with Kess, saying: ‘Yes. Just a weird rock. If it were levitating, the shadow would be at a different location if you look at the other shadows. What you’re seeing is 2 shadows overlapping in the pH๏τo.’
Those who believe it is more than a rock are sure the image captured a UFO seen by Fravor.

On November 14 2004, the top Gun fighter pilot was flying a training exercise close to San Diego when he was re-routed to investigate a strange object spotted on radar by warships protecting his aircraft carrier the USS Nimitz.
What he found was a roughly 40-foot white object with no windows or wings, shaped like a Tic-Tac, flitting about above the sea that was roiling below it, disturbed by something large submerged beneath the surface.
Commander Fravor told Congress in 2023 that as he circled the object, it turned to mirror his movements, then sH๏τ off past him at thousands of miles per hour, somehow stopping a second later at a secret pre-designated rendezvous point 60 miles away that only he and a handful of Navy staff on his ship were given ahead of their training exercise.
