Mars 'square structure' fuels new alien civilisation theories

The internet has once again been flooded with conspiracy theories following the discovery of a perfect "square structure" on the surface of Mars. Mars, one of our closest planetary neighbours, has long captivated people. It is considered the best candidate for human habitation in our solar system after Earth.

According to ladbible.com, this latest discovery on Mars—a mysterious square structure—was captured by the NASA Mars Orbiter camera in 2001. Photos of this nearly perfect "object" have begun circulating on social media, prompting lively reactions.

The structure's appearance, which appears "man-made," has caused a storm on the internet. Proponents of the theory of an ancient alien civilisation quickly claimed it as evidence of its existence. Sceptics argue that a single photograph proves nothing and that more plausible explanations should be considered first.

The photo from Mars raises questions

The structure is accurate, and the photo originates from a small part of a crater on the planet, where the square is at the top. This isn't the first time we've been intrigued 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 are sceptical that an almost perfect square shape could form naturally without intervention. However, it is worth noting that straight lines are not impossible. In responses to the original thread, it was pointed out that natural wonders like the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, the Eye of the Sahara, or the "Fairy Chimneys" in Turkey could 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 dispatch SpaceX there if he had the opportunity. "We should send astronauts to Mars to investigate!" Musk stated in a post on social media.
