Strange Stonehenge-styled rocks found on surface of Mars
FREE Catholic Classes
Alien experts and hunters usually look for -and find- the most bizarre images beamed back from the surface of Mars, which includes coffins, pyramids, crabs and even floating spoons. New images of Mars have excited alien enthusiasts with what appears to be an alien Stonehenge, which has been dubbed "Marshenge."

HOLLYWOOD, CA (Catholic Online) - The latest discovery can be seen using high-resolution images of the surface of Mars captured by the High Resolution imaging Science Experiment (HiRise) camera on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. There are mysterious stone circles seen at the top of a mound on the Martian surface. Experts believed the stones were the result of natural processes that also transpire on Earth.
The Facebook group Journey to the Surface of the Mars highlighted the stones and uploaded the image. The group is known to point out "alien features."
The alien hunter added, "Could the builders of Stonehenge have visited Mars and did they build the same thing there or did we have visitors teach us how to build these things and do the same for long lost beings on Mars as well, or is this just another face on Mars illusion?"
Nigel Watson, author of The UFO Investigations Manual, believes Marshenge will probably strengthen the determination of those who believe Stonehenge was built by aliens and said, "Pyramid structures have been regularly spotted on Mars that have been linked to the ancient pyramids of Earth, now with Marshenge we have a link with our earlier prehistoric structures."
Though he admits the discovery of Marshenge "builds an even stronger case to suggest astronauts in the past visited or Solar System and had an enduting impact on human history," he believes the comparison between Marshenge and Stonehenge are "a huge leap of the imagination ... Up close they could prove to be random stones cast up by marsquakes -the equivalent of earthquakes- in its distant past."
There are still various theories about Stonehenge whether it could have been built by aliens. There isn't enough information to determine what Stonehenge is for or why it was erected in 3,100 BC.
Ashwin Vasavada, who works on the Mars Curiosity Rover mission, said, "So far we haven't seen anything that is so obvious that it would be similar to what these claims are." He believes sightings are just the result of pareidolia, which is a psychological response that allows the mind to distinguish familiar objects out of random ones, such as when one sees a face in the clouds.
In his book Mars, Jeffrey Kargel, a senior scientist at the department of hydrology at the University of Arizona, wrote stone circles could appear on Mars due to natural geological activity. He added, "Hummocky patterned ground on Mars is probably closely related to permafrost 'stone circles' and other forms of sorted terrain on Earth ... [which] form in extreme polar environments where melting is minimal and this alone should caution us from drawing too definitive conclusions regarding Martian processes."
