In Mr Waring’s opinion, the supposed alien city was likely built thousands of years ago.
However, he said this is of little importance because aliens do not age in the same way humans do.
He said: “Their anatomy is totally under their control, allowing them to decide what age to be, alter their appearance and more.
“So building a structure so massive… although it may take hundreds of years… it’s of little consequence of them.”
NASA’s Mariner 10 probe orbited the innermost planet of the solar system in 1974.
