The bizarre new theory proposing the prospect of life on Mercury would seem out there, if not outright impossible, to most people – considering it is the closest planet to the sun and has ground temperatures ranging from MINUS 173C at night to 427C in the day time. However, this has not stopped some people from believing aliens are residing there, or at least stopping there and using it as a base. Now, supposed proof has been found in the form of a huge tower which aliens are using as a refuelling block, according to the shock claim.
The tower is believed to be located in a huge crater, and even has a statue next to it, which could hold religious significance.
Prominent alien hunter Scott C Waring made the astonishing claims, and he believes the tower could be up to 10 kilometres tall, arguing that buildings can be larger than the ones found on Earth because gravity in weaker on Mercury.
Mr Waring wrote on the ET Database: “Most craters on other planets and moons are about 10-30km across. So I will take the low number 10km and the tower is 1/3 the diameter of the crater making it 3km tall. Now that’s a low end estimate.
“If this unknown crater is 30km across, then this tower is actually 10km tall! The gravity on Mercury is 38 percent that of Earth’s, so any building will weigh 62 percent less on Mercury, compared to here on Earth.
“There is also a huge statue of a person praying in the left side of the photograph. This could mean that the tower we see is of religious significance to the aliens species that created it.
“The tower could also be a docking point for ship too large to land not he planets surface.”
However, sceptics and NASA would say the similar findings are just the effects of pareidolia – a psychological phenomenon when the brain tricks the eyes into seeing familiar objects or shapes in patterns or textures such as a rock surface.
This would mean that the Mercurian ‘base’ is actually just a series of rocks.
