Did NASA’s Curiosity Rover capture the image of a huge snake on #Mars? As #Mars Curiosity Rover continues its expedition on the planet Mars it sends back images to NASA and these images are posted online for all to see.
The snake-like rock formation is one of hundreds of “discoveries” made every year by UFO enthusiasts. This time, however, the sighting of a snake has raised questions for conspiracy theorists concerned over the authenticity of NASA’s Mars rover operations.
“I’ll give you a hint, there is no rover on Mars,” says one conspiracy theorist on Youtube. “These photos are taken in the desert. Likely in Nevada where area 54 is located.”
This is one of many online comments that help perpetuate a recent, growing conspiracy theory.
“There is an increasing number of people who believe that NASA’s rovers never left the Earth in the first place,” said chemtrailsplanet.net, a community of conspiracy theorists. “The pictures they are allegedly sending back from Mars are taken in remote areas of our planet.”
Rover deniers say that a remote island in Canada used by NASA to mimic Mars’ planetary conditions is doubling as a film stage for the images being sent “back” to Earth.
As for the snake spotted in the Mars photo, it is evidence that NASA is accidentally capturing wildlife in its faked Mars photos.
Fortunately for NASA, the government space agency has decades of experience battling conspiracies.
Since the 1960s, hoaxers have believed the moon landing was faked in order for the United States to win the space race against the Soviet Union. Others believed it was to increase NASA’s funding, while others believed it was to draw attention away from the Vietnam War.
Now, many of the same accusations seem to have followed NASA to its 21st century endeavors. The allure of alien life and government conspiracy might be too much for NASA to permanently shake, regardless of where humans go next.
