Mysterious ‘Tic Tac UFO’ spotted on Mars in NASA photo

An image snapped by NASA’s Mars rover has sparked theories of aliens on the Red Planet.

The photo shows what many have claimed is a ‘Tic Tac UFO.’

Among the rocky landscape is a cylinder-shaped object that appears to be casting a shadow on the ground. 

People have likened ‘the object’ to what a Navy pilot saw in 2004. 

David Fravor was flying over the Pacific when he spotted a ‘perfectly white, smooth’ object, which later became known as the famous ‘Tic Tac UFO.’

Others are not sold on the UFO claims, saying the image shows the typical Mars landscape that is littered with oddly shaped rocks.

‘There is no scale on that photo and it’s not airborne. It’s just a smooth rock from wind barely connected to a larger section of rock,’ one Redditor shared in the post. 

The photo was taken by NASA’s Curiosity in 2020 amid its more than 10-year investigation for ancient signs of life on Mars.

The image was first shared on Reddit this week with the caption: ‘A Tic-Tac has been spotted on Mars by the NASA Mars Curiosity Rover Mastcam on Sol 2692 3 March 2020!’ 

Another Redditor commented on the post, writing: ‘This is exciting because it’s a testable prediction. If that thing ain’t there when we come back, it’s f*****g aliens.’ 

It has since hit X where people are also amazed by the sighting.

Jason Martell, a researcher in modern and ancient technologies, said he put the image through an AI detector, finding it was ‘not likely to be AI-generated or deepfake.’

‘Strong evidence of a Tic Tac filmed on Mars by NASA. And the source file is not AI generated,’ Martell wrote on X.

But Jay Kess posted: ‘It’s a rock. This is a huge distraction.’ 

Another X user agreed with Kess, saying: ‘Yes. Just a weird rock. If it were levitating, the shadow would be at a different location if you look at the other shadows. What you’re seeing is 2 shadows overlapping in the photo.’

Those who believe it is more than a rock are sure the image captured a UFO seen by Fravor.

On November 14 2004, the top Gun fighter pilot was flying a training exercise close to San Diego when he was re-routed to investigate a strange object spotted on radar by warships protecting his aircraft carrier the USS Nimitz.

What he found was a roughly 40-foot white object with no windows or wings, shaped like a Tic-Tac, flitting about above the sea that was roiling below it, disturbed by something large submerged beneath the surface.

Commander Fravor told Congress in 2023 that as he circled the object, it turned to mirror his movements, then shot off past him at thousands of miles per hour, somehow stopping a second later at a secret pre-designated rendezvous point 60 miles away that only he and a handful of Navy staff on his ship were given ahead of their training exercise.
