...there's been no concrete evidence of life ever having existed on the Red Planet -- that is, if you believe the official version of things. Barry DiGregorio, a researcher with the University of Buckingham, doesn't buy it, and he says he's already discovered clues to Mars' past in the form of fossilized alien tracks. Now, he's trying to get others on board with his theory and blow the top off of an alleged NASA cover-up in the process.
DiGregorio... believes previously-released NASA imagery from the planet offers clear evidence of Martian tracks. He believes photos showing small indentations in rock are actually long-fossilized footprints of some type of alien life...
NASA, meanwhile, is doing its best to remain level headed as it explains why DiGregorio has lost his marbles. The "tracks" that are at the heart of this debate are actually much smaller than might be obvious from the photographs, and NASA claims that they are actually only about the size of a sesame seed. The agency believes the odd shapes to be the byproduct of crystal formations in the rock, and points to similar crystals found here on Earth that bear a striking resemblance to what DiGregorio believes are alien footprints.
"These shapes are characteristic of gypsum crystals," Sanjeev Gupta of the NASA's Mars Curiosity science team explains. "These can form when salts become concentrated in water, such as in an evaporating lake."
Of course, DiGregorio isn't buying that totally reasonable explanation and has instead decided to present his findings at a conference later this year, hoping to drum up support for his theory among other scientists. That's a bold strategy, and we'll see if it pays off.

You’ll have to carve your initials F on the left and N on the right, into the soles of your walk about boots.
NASA photo-analysts in their geomorphological musings are confusing you with ancient bi-pedal aliens?
Nah, that’s an imprint of the hoof of mohammad’s magic horse, the one with the breasts of a woman and the tail of a peacock...from when madmo stopped off on his visit to allah at the furthest mosque.

LOL.
Alahwahoo MarsBar!
Three years ago it was OK, but in today’s woke world, it’s no longer acceptable to refer to Martians as “aliens”. That’s clearly racist!
