A video uploaded to YouTube's The Lost History Channel says the local government in the area is seeking the help of the US and Indian space agencies.

In the video, the narrator explains how a number of the paintings were discovered.

According to local archaeologist JR Bhagat it is unclear as to what the images were supposed to be of.

He said: "The findings suggest that humans in prehistoric times may have seen or imagined beings from other planets which still create curiosity among people and researchers, Dailystar.co.uk reports.

“Extensive research is needed for further findings. “Charama presently doesn't have any such expert who could give clarity on the subject.“
