The man behind one of the most popular UFO sightings websites has decided to call it quits after seven years of exposing the strangest images that have been found.

Site owner Scott C. Waring said in a farewell post on UFO Sightings Daily that he began the site in 2010 to give an outlet for people who had allegedly seen UFOs but didn't have an outlet to show off their images.

According to Waring, the site had moved away from education and enlightenment and was heading towards entertainment.

"This is serious stuff that has depths that even I can't fathom," he wrote on the site late last week. "It deserves serious thought and research, not contempt and ridicule."

Over the years the site has been the go-to for photos of strange images on Mars and the Moon, plus UFO sightings from all over world, even here in Houston.
