In Antarctica among the snow, a glacier was seen with an ominous human face. "

However, NASA reassure all adherents of alien phenomena. Scientists explain terrible photos with a psychological phenomenon, writes Dailymail.

The satellite image from the South Pole, already appeared on the Web in 2019, was repeatedly published on the R/Strangeearth Reddit page. This time the photograph caused a wave of questions, since many viewers saw on it a terrible face with half-closed eyes, nose and mouth emerging from under the snow.

Some users of social networks hastened to compare this face with Megatron, character of the film " And the theorists of the conspiracy claim that a strange person is evidence of a hidden civilization - possibly alien origin - living under the Antarctic ice.

But all these assumptions are rejected by scientists. According to NASA, this is a psychological phenomenon that makes people see their face in random objects where they are not, for example, in clouds, rocks and unrelated objects.

Scientists note that this is a form of apofenia when people see templates or connections in random, unrelated data. And they advise you to take a closer look at the photograph that can be found on Google Maps on coordinates 72 ° 00'36. 0 " 0 "

Similar discussions were on the Web when NASA published a photo from Mars, on which many dreamers also saw the alien's terrible face. But even then such statements are not confirmed by scientific evidence.
