What's the truth?: These images are not real and have been created using Artificial Intelligence (AI).
How did we find out the truth?: We performed a reverse image search on the viral images and did not come across any credible reports that would support the claim.
Next, we checked the official website of Archaeological Survey of India but did not find any report about such spaceships.
We then ran these images on AI-detection tools, Hive Moderation and Sight Engine.
The results concluded that these images are not real and are created using AI tools.
