Finding water on Mars is one of the main goals of NASA. Not only will it determine possible areas where humans can establish the first human colony but it can also determine whether or not there’s really alien life on Mars.

Now, an alien theorist is claiming that the U.S. space agency has long discovered that there is indeed water on Mars and that NASA is simply covering up the detection to hide the fact that they have already proven there is life outside of Earth.

According to UFOlogist, Scott Waring, he spotted some water leaking on the side of rocks in Mars in a photo taken by the Mars Curiosity’s right-hand Mastcam on Sol 712. In a blog post on the website, ETDatabase.com, he claimed: “What I found here is water leaking out of some rocks on a hillside. This photo was taken back in Aug 2014 and I found it just a few months later. Yet NASA never declared finding this water at this location.”

Waring went on to claim that his discovery proved that NASA is indeed hiding something when it comes to its Mars mission and that there’s something the U.S. space agency doesn’t want the public to know. Quoting former NASA associate administrator and astronaut John Grunsfeld who said back in 2015, “Our quest on Mars has been to follow the water,” Waring noted how the U.S. space agency has ignored obvious evidence of water on Mars.

“They ignored this water flow and never told the news or the public about the rover’s findings. They must have seen this, look how big and obvious the water flow is. It is impossible to miss it. So, the only other answer is NASA decided to hide it from the public. The rover could have easily analyzed and tested this liquid to see if its water or something else, but again, NASA has not said or posted any more about this photo,” he said.

According to Waring, the water flow is so big and significant that NASA should’ve already discovered around a dozen alien life forms by this time. The UFOlogist lamented NASA’s insistence to be mum about supposed groundbreaking discoveries like water on Mars.

“Remember how the first life in space was announced by Russian astronauts who found large plankton growing on the solar panels of the space station a few years ago? Yeah … NASA didn’t do that … Russia did. Remember that gel found on the moon this week by the Chinese moon rover Jade Rabbit? Yeah … that wasn’t NASA too,” he said.

However, the U.S. space agency has acknowledged that there was or there is still water on Mars way back since 2015 and that Mars vehicles like Curiosity and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have been deployed to continue its search for water on the Red Planet.

Waring is also a very doubtful source of speculations about life on planet Mars as the UFOlogist has been known for outrageous claims and theories of life outside of Earth.
