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.

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.
Now that's a reliable source!
Maybe they’re filming the newest “Jackass” on Mars.
Just can’t get away from profiling huh?
Who are “WE” to label him an Alien? He may be a citizen. He probably considers us aliens.
Why would ‘THEY’ say he is naked? They may figure clothed people are strange. Then again, it could be a she but that opens a whole new can of worms.
There are far to many questions left unanswered here.
This photo op was distributed by the people who say the only way to go to the sun is at night because it surely is to hot during the day.
It’s a rock.
If it didn't move, chances are it's a rock or there's a Medusa lurking on the planet somewhere!
IT”S FREAKIN’ OSAMA! Get some of those Marquis de Sade letters that Ron Paul is talkin’ about, and let’s go get him!
“Just like a little pal.”
You mean the marstronauts didn’t plant her flag?
It's a Fremen trying to control the spice and the universe!
LOL, that was my first choice also. Bigfoot was my second choice.
He looks like he snuck out of his underground habitat for a smoke and has just checked his watch to find he’s five minutes late for hydroponics duty.
No, look over to the lower right, about an inch or so into the image. Looks like he’s been playing with his dog.
Ringu (this original in Japanese) is one of my favorite movies.
We got it on VCD and had to watch it on the computer. My hubby watched my kids for me.
He still makes fun of me because he heard, “Oh this is the dumbest movie ever made....”
Until the very end and then he heard, “Oh he!! no.” over and over.
Fantastically frightening movie.
He appears to be gesturing to his pet snail in the forground. Escargot! Mon Dieu, he’s French!
That’s not a dog or a snail! It’s one of the disappearing polar bears!
