Hidden beneath Pluto’s icy silence, a disk-shaped craft waits in a crater, hinting at cosmic travelers who never left.

A high-resolution image of Pluto taken in 2015 by New Horizons Long-Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) in “ride-along” mode with the LEISA spectrometer shows a region called ‘the dark, forbidding region informally known as Cthulhu Regio, and the mysterious, possibly cryovolcanic edifice Wright Mons.’

Among the many notable details, is a saucer-shaped object with on top a cylindrical tube located at the bottom of a crater.

It doesn’t appear to have formed naturally, suggesting that the circular object could be the top of an extraterrestrial base built inside the crater or… maybe it’s a parked disk-shaped alien craft?
