Life on Mars? Amazing photos from Nasa probe reveal image of mystery figure on Red Planet
Daily Mail ^ | 22 Jan 2008 | Daily Mail

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.

The 'alien' appears to be walking downhill

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.

Digital high resolution analysis shows no seams or zippers — must be real.

Yep. Gotta be Bigfoot on Mars! They should do a movie, like those great 50s movies.

When you’ve been on Mars long enough the one on the right will start looking like the one on the left.

Hey, I am serious.

After we got to the moon, how come we didn't build the moon base and go on to Mars? A couple of us ought to driving around by now, seeing what we can see.

And what about the moons of Mars as a base. Nobody at NASA ever read Heinlein?

I’m amazed it took 69 posts for someone to mention Hoagland’s name.

Notice that it’s the same colors as the rocks, both highlights and shadows.

And what about the moons of Mars as a base.

As I understand it, Earth's Moon doesn't have enough "gravity" to support any long term human habitation.

So what do you think the chances of wasting time and money on a "moon" base on either Deimos or Phobos (Leather Goddesses notwithstanding)?

And, Deimos is breaking free of Mars, iirc, and Phobos is spiraling into Mars.

1) That’s getting awfully personal.

B) What possible answer to that question would be anything any of us need or want to know?
