Alien found on Mars? Pics included

[CATCH17]

ARM outstretched, head tilted in mid-stride — is this mystery figure the final proof that life exists on Mars?

The intriguing image was captured by Nasa’s six-wheeled robot explorer Spirit during its three-month mission to study the surface of the Red Planet.

Snapped at the rock-strewn Gusev Crater, believed by scientists to be the bed of an ancient lake, the grainy picture appears to show a Bigfoot-style alien creature strolling casually down a hill.

Its bulbous “head” is cocked to one side, as if in concentration, while its right “arm” appears to be reaching out for balance.

Scientists believe that if Mars DID once have surface water, it had the potential to support life.

And some say this could be the crucial evidence of inhabitants that they were seeking when they launched their £400million mission in 2003.

The “creature” was spotted when space enthusiasts analysed photos beamed 100million miles to Earth by Spirit and its twin explorer Opportunity.

Of course, hard-nosed realists may claim the “Martian” is simply a trick of the light and shadow on a dust-covered outcrop.

But whatever it shows, the mind-boggling image will set people guessing from Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads.

It’s a genuine space oddity.

[joseephuss]

It's bigfoot

No, it's a mermaid. I mean merman.

 

[CATCH17]

Can you guys see it or is it a red X?

The picture is there on mine.

 

[joseephuss]

Can you guys see it or is it a red X?

The picture is there on mine.

The pic is there for me. A wide shot along with a blow up of the same shot.

Tony Romo just can't seem to get away no matter where he goes. :laugh2:

 

[Hostile]

Looks like a rock to me. An odd shaped rock, but a rock nonetheless.

 

[zrinkill]

Looks like a sculpture.

 

[Faerluna]

It's bigfoot

Suspiciously close!

 

[joseephuss]

Suspiciously close!

It does kind of look like Terry Glenn.

 

[Rack]

Looks like a rock to me. An odd shaped rock, but a rock nonetheless.

Agreed.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

It was me right after the cowboys lost to the giants.

I wanted to be away, far away, from everyone in my sorrows.

Sometimes misery does NOT love company.

 

[adamknite]

It looks a lot like a rock to me.

 

[Dallas]

It looks like Dat Nguyen to me. Did we not trade Dat to the Martian Madness back in 2002? That could explain this picture.

Now you know where Snyder puts 'em.
