NASA's blogger Scott C Waring has claimed that a 1960 photo of NASA Mercury Mission showed UFO sighting and alien aircraft. He said the 1960 NASA image has revealed a UFO observing activities of the Mercury capsule.

Waring saw the image when he analyzed the photo in detail. He found the presence of a disc in the picture from the Mercury Mission that took place in December 1960.

In the photograph, the earth was seen in the background whereas the UFO was observing the activity of the Mercury capsule.
