UFO Enthusiast Spots 'Traffic Light' In NASA's Mars Photo [Watch Video]

'Pahrump Hills' Region, Mars — A color mosaic taken by NASA's Mars Curiosity rover Mast Camera (mastcam) shows strata exposed along the margins of the valleys in the "Pahrump Hills" region on Mars in this undated handout photo courtesy of NASA. After 18 months of driving, scientists on September 11, 2014, announced that Curiosity had arrived at the base of Mount Sharp ahead of schedule, thanks to a somewhat serendipitous decision to take an alternative path that would be gentler on the rover's damaged wheels. Within two weeks, Curiosity will reach an outcrop of rock called Pahrump Hills, where the first drill samples of Mount Sharp real estate will be made. Reuters/NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS/

A photo taken by National Aeronautic and Space Administration's Curiosity Mars Rover was captured on 1:08 a.m. EDT on September 19. A "traffic signal" was spotted by a UFO enthusiast.

A British UFO enthusiast, Joe White, spotted the "extraterrestrial" signal, on the image captured by the Curiosity Rover with the help of the six-foot-high left-hand mast cam, reported the Huffington Post. This gives an opportunity to the conspiracy theorists to talk about another strange object in Mars.

According to the Western Daily Press, Joe White of ArtAlienTV, 45 years of age, said that he had been following the images released by NASA since the beginning, and that he flicked through the pictures on the NASA Web site daily. NASA has been sending out pictures captured by the Curiosity Rover since it landed on the Red Planet in August 2012.

He came across the traffic signal-shaped object and thought that it looked a bit strange. He estimated that the size of the object would be around 12 inches.

Joe believes that the object that he spotted was "clearly intelligently designed." He explained that he had posted the image on the internet and while few people thought that it did look like traffic lights, a few others said that it looked like a totem pole. He wrote on his latest video titled "Mars Traffic Light? Amazing Alien Object: on his YouTube Channel, ArtAlienTV-Mars Zoo that the object was mostly a rock.

When the images came out, another person noticed a weird "ball." The person, blogger Paul Scott Anderson, described himself as a freelance space writer on his Twitter page. He is the publisher of The Meridiani Journal blog, a chronicle of planetary exploration.

According to the scientists at NASA, the "ball" was just a spherical rock that could have been formed by concretion. Discovery News described concretion as a process when minerals become hard and get compacted.

In the past, there have been many odd-looking objects that have been noticed in the images captured in Mars like an iguana and body parts like a finger, a skull and a thigh bone. But it was later found to be just rocks.
