More than three million people around the world have watched a video that Youtube user siniXster has edited from recent NASA images. Ufologists are delighted: they have examined a spaceship, as if "parked" next to Mercury. The flying saucer is as it should be - elongated and simply huge - the same size as the planet itself
Many rushed to look at the strange object, even those who did not really believe in UFOs and alien life were very surprised. It was said that the "ship" appears when solar flares reach Mercury, and the rest of the time it is cleverly disguised and so on.
The dreams of ufologists were smashed to smithereens at NASA, where they said: "a spaceship" is just a marriage of "photoshop". The agency explained: in order to make images from space more clear, specialists overlay photos of one day on another, and then in a special program they clean up stars and other space objects in some places. And since the planets are mobile, they cannot be easily erased - traces remain. NASA engineer Nathan Rich told Space.com about this.
In general, after watching the sensational video and reading enthusiastic comments, NASA firmly stated The Daily Mail: there is no alien intelligence in the solar system, except on Earth. Otherwise, experts have known about this for a long time.
Heather Cooper, NASA astronomer: "It can never be a spaceship the size of Mercury, because Mercury is the size of our Moon, and we would already know about the presence of such an object in the Solar System."
