The image was taken at a site called, 'Concepción Crater,' an area that had been a mystery to scientists due to strange coatings on rocks near the crater WHAT IS FACE PAREIDOLIA? Pareidolia is the psychological response to seeing faces and other significant and everyday items in random stimulus.It is a form of apophenia, when people see patterns in random, unconnected data.There have been multiple occasions when people have claimed to see religious images and themes in unexpected places.On the red planet, one of the most famous is the 'face on Mars' spotted by one of the Viking orbiters in 1976.This was later proven to just be a chance alignment of shifting sand dunes. 'Found these faces on Mars side by side. 'One is looking towards us and the other is looking to the left. 'The face looking at us has a lot of similarities to the ancient Mesopotamia faces,' Scott Waring said on UFO Sightings Daily, next to the photo.Although alarms and bells might be going off for alien hunters, Nasa has no interest in exploring the 'face' further.'As you can probably tell, it is a natural rock at the disrupted rim of a small crater, not a sculpture made by some ancient culture,' Nasa spokesman Guy Webster told FoxNews.com in an email.'But it's great that people are using their imaginations and enjoying the full public access to every image taken by any Mars rover.'Nasa has packed their schedule with navigating the rover to an area of sand dunes, as tall as a two-story building and as wide as a football field, with the hopes of learning more about the planet's environment.The organization blames these type of sightings on a trick of the mind, known pareidolia – the psychological response to seeing familiar objects in random places. Last month, another, more well-known, religious figure was seen hanging out on the Red Planet.UFO hunters say they saw a huge Buddha statue in the mountains on Mars.They are using the 'discovery' to suggest that intelligent life once existed on the planet, and may have even have had a religion.  Legend has it that ancient Assyrians developed space travel and left a statue of their god on Mars. NASA has no interest in exploring the 'face' further. The organization blames these type of sightings on a trick of the mind, known pareidolia – the psychological response to seeing familiar objects in random placesScott C Waring of UFO Sightings Daily said referencing to an image of the planet: 'This photo alone should be enough to convince the United Nations that intelligent life once existed on Mars.' 'Nasa doesn't want anyone to know the truth, because they will be asked to share the info and technology that they have found.' While Nasa rarely comments on these claims, in August of its scientists has provided an explanation for why so many people see strange objects on the red planet. +2Faces in the the rock: Nasa has packed their schedule with navigating the rover to an area of sand dunes, as tall as a two-story building and as wide as a football field, with the hopes of learning more about the planet's environmentAshwin Vasavada, who works on the Mars rover project, says scientists are not trying to hide evidence of alien life from the general public. His comments were sparked by an increase in 'sightings' of strange objects on the red planet. In their latest 'discovery', for instance, a number of people said they had spotted the Star Destroyer from Star Wars on Mars. 'I found this anomaly in the latest Curiosity Rover photo. The black object looks like a crashed UFO,' wrote UFO Sightings contributor Scott Waring. He said the 'craft' is only about 2.5 to 3 metres across, 'so it probably only held a few passengers.'And earlier this month, alien hunters claimed they had spotted a mysterious 'facehugger crab' on the red planet.
