Mars anomaly hunters have discovered a giant UFO flying saucer abandoned on rugged Mars terrain. The latest UFO find on the Red Planet was reported on March 27 by two YouTube anomaly hunters, Mars Moon Space Photo Zoom Club (MMSPZC) and Paranormal Crucible.

According to MMSPZC, the UFO flying saucer was discovered in images of the Martian region of Aram Chaos — 2.6°N, 21.5°W — near the canyon Valles Marineris and Ares Vallis. The images were captured by NASA’s Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC).

MMSPZC points out that contrary to what some might think, the structure is not part of the natural Martian terrain, but an object of artificial construction probably abandoned on the surface after it developed a fault and crashed.

As UFO Sightings Daily’s Scot Waring notes, close examination of the object suggests a metallic luster that is in sharp contrast with the Martian soil in which it appears partially embedded. The saucer also has a distinct curved or circular shape with sharp edges indicative of artificial construction. The sharp edges and circular geometric design stand out against the background of the natural environment.

Note also the rectangular spaces in front of the disk suggestive of artificially constructed lookout screens or windows.

According to MMSPZC, the flying saucer is a detail of a section of the Martian terrain, 23 km tall and about 3 km wide. The UFO hunters thus estimate the flying saucer to be about 200-300 meters in diameter.

MMSPZC concludes that what we have in this Mars Orbiter Camera image is evidently a massive UFO flying saucer.

Going by the claims of Mars anomaly and UFO hunters, we may speculate on why such a massive UFO was abandoned on the Martian surface. Judging from the luster of the metallic surface, it does not look like it has been there for very long. We may thus imagine a scenario in which recent alien visitors were forced to abandon the spacecraft after it developed a mechanical or electrical fault. The crew of the ship might have put out an SOS after they were stranded on the planet, and a rescue craft was probably dispatched to evacuate them while the ship was left behind as non-salvageable.

This is not the first time that a UFO flying saucer has been found apparently abandoned on the Martian surface. In February, the Inquisitr reported discovery of a UFO flying saucer by Mars anomaly hunters.

The UFO was discovered by Mars researcher Neville Thompson in the Candor Chasma region of Mars. The discovery was reported by anomaly hunters Martian Archaeology.

This UFO Flying Saucer Crash Site On Mars Was Reported In February

Mars Archaeology described the find as “exposed ruins on Mars caused by a crashed flying saucer.” And indeed, the images which showed the site from different angles appeared to reveal a crash site. The Inquisitr commented at the time that the images appeared to show a “low flying saucer-shaped craft that crashed on the Martian surface.”

“… a low flying saucer-shaped craft that crashed on the Martian surface, plowing into the Martian soil and finally coming to rest half-submerged in the red soil. And that is not all — the scaled 3-D reconstruction of the site (see below) suggests that the flying saucer was actually approaching the entrance to an underground storage and maintenance facility for ships, which could also have been a production facility.”
