- Conspiracy theorists colour-enhanced an image taken by the Curiosity rover
- The image shows a round object, that they claim is a metal cannonball
- Scott C. Waring claims the ball is ‘100% evidence’ of a war on Mars
- He suggests it was fired at the planet in an attempt to destroy Mars’ atmosphere
From alien hands to Donald Trump’s face, conspiracy theorists claim to have spotted a range of weird and wonderful objects on Mars.
Now, alien hunters believe they have spotted a metal cannonball on the surface of the red planet in an image taken by Nasa’s Curiosity Rover.
Conspiracy theorists claim the object is evidence of a past war on Mars – although it is likely to simply be a rock.

A video posted on YouTube by channel WhatsUpInTheSky37 shows an image taken by Nasa’s Curiosity Rover of Mars’ surface.
In the video, the image has been colour enhanced to make the ‘ball’ look grey against the red rocks.
Commenting on the video, Scott C. Waring, who runs the site UFO Sightings Daily, said: ‘This metal ball is perfectly formed and about the size of a softball here on Earth.
‘Guess what? That also matches the size of a cannon ball.’
Mr Waring suggests that the object is ‘100 per cent evidence of a war on Mars.’
He added: ‘This projectile is sitting on the surface above all the wrecked stone structures around it.
‘Fragments of a once civilisation is sitting scattered in tiny pieces around this cannon ball.’

Mr Waring believes that the balls were launched at Mars in an attempt to destroy the planet’s atmosphere.
He said: ‘I do believe these balls and millions of others were deliberately shot at Mars from space all at once to destroy their atmosphere, burn it away.
‘What I mean is a large enough man made meteor shower could strip Mars of its atmosphere and thus, destroy all or most life on the planet surface.’
