The 'alien' appears to be walking downhill Posted on 01/22/2008 12:39:54 PM PST by BGHater
Does this photograph really prove that we are not alone in the universe?
Images beamed back from Mars would suggest so - although to sceptics, it could just be a strange rock formation.
Nasa's Mars Explorer Spirit sent back images from the surface of the Red Planet four years ago, and there was initial disappointment among scientists that they lacked any signs of life.

But space and science fiction enthusiasts are convinced there is more than meets the eye, and after years of studying the images, have found what appears to be an alien figure walking downhill.
The discovery of the life-like figure ambling across the surface of the planet is likely to further boost intrigue in our nearest neighbouring planet.
An earlier rock formation, dubbed "the face of Mars" showed what appeared to be a human head staring into the night sky.
The pictures, found on a Chinese website, are now creating a stir of excitement on the internet.
Alien life: What seems to be a human-like Martian is pictured on Mars
One keen stargazer said: "These pictures are amazing. I couldn't believe my eyes when I looked and saw what appears to be a naked alien running around on Mars."
Nasa's Mars Explorer Spirit is now starting its fourth year of exploration.
Painstaking: Space enthusiasts spent four years analysing this image, which on much closer inspection shows the 'alien'
Rovers are deployed because it has so far been too costly and difficult to achieve a manned mission to Mars, and because probes and satellites are too limited to explore the Martian surface.
The Spirit rover was launched on June 10, 2003.
Betcha the CHICOM are on it 5 years.

That Gorn is dressed like Fred Flintstone.
Are you kidding?
They have discovered the secret al Qaeda training camp on Mars. That’s a naked picture of Osama himself.
Zeta talk...!
Good point.
Too easy....Klingons.
to me it is so obviously a hoax.
The folks in NASA must not think there is anything to it or they would have one of those rovers over there checking it out.
If it was something of interest, it would be quite a find and well worth the trip.
But.... since they haven;t done so, must mean they mean they have serious doubts.
“What’s on Uranus?
Too easy....Klingons.
First laugh of the morning!
The page with the story of the image is here:

Only thing I can't figure out is why the author chose to say that scientists have been studying this for years. The caption clearly states that the pic was taken on Sept 5, 2007.
It could be an ancient statue.
Which would be amazing too.
But here's the same image from another angle:
I don’t know what it is but I’m laughing out loud
Wow, the big rock at center-right contains John F. Kerry’s face.
it looks to me like a one of those wrestlers from Mexico.
Is that a TNG reference?
Yes! Episode with Paul Winfield.
