Life found on mars? Here’s the incontrovertible proof, with pictures of a naked, rock crouching alien

Bizarre, Science, Space

Talk about it in our Forums

Could it be? Have we discovered life on mars in the form of something that looks like a cross between a rock and a Sand Person from Star Wars?

I found a very brief article in the Daily Mail (UK) with these photos and little else. (Click the photos to enlarge). Actually, it’s one photo snapped by one of the Mars rovers and two magnifications.

Well I’m not so sure it’s time to load up the troops and hit the ground on the red planet, this picture when blown up a bit is interesting to look at.

Now that we get a bit closer, it’s easy to see where the mind can put a human-like figure into this image. Is it an ambulatory alien cruising about the surface of the red planet? I think it’s doubtful. I do think it’s very interesting however how the mind interprets images like this. Similar to seeing faces in stucco walls, or clouds shaped like rabbits, it’s easy for us to jump to the conclusion that the Yeti has jumped planets for a more reclusive location.

Is it a rock? Some shadows? The model for the face on Mars? What do you think?

    I think it’s a statue of jesus, and would fetch quite a price on ebay, to some fundamentalist from Nebraska.

    Or something like that. Maybe its Bigfoot?

    The 2nd and 3rd pictures look like a human being to me sitting on a rock, He/she has brown hair and has a green robe, a cloak, or a coat on.
    I have something interesting to share from earth. I will try to figure out how to share it. This is my 1st time at this site.

    WTF?? are you kidding, ok I could beleive in aliens quite happily but,, this is from a Rover Correct?

    so why does the public have it?

    Surely the Unites States Government would be preparing a nuclear strike by now, just because it can.

    Im pretty sure this is the work or a kid cooped up in a cupbord playing with the lame ass version of CS3

    If that’s life, then there’s a dead guy (or at least doubled over in pain) in the bottom right of the last photo.

  5. arsgeek Says:

    Wait. It’s a transformer! AHHHH! Or a government cover up!

    My honest opinion? It’s a rock or a rock subtly shaped by someone with a graphics manipulation program.

    Or maybe it is a biodegradable action figure of Al Gore that will secure a lifetime supply of carbon credits for the owner. This should fetch quite a price on ebay, to some liberal loon from Wacko-fornia or New Jerk City.

    It’s a mexican. Those guys are EVERYWHERE!

    If that is an alien, it’s wearing a skirt.
