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.
Marvin & Astro?
My first thought, its OBL!!
Wow! You’re right.
I just noticed the stick in his hand!!!
:0)
If the red Planet is inhabited with women like that, then I volunteer to go exploring...for science ‘n’ stuff.
“Bigfoot on Mars” deniers are worse than holocaust deniers, and almost as bad as global warming deniers!
Look on top of the Rover. Two Martians are having a battle with their laser guns.
It’s a Martian prankster. Looks like the fellow just pushed his buddy down the hill and is hysterically laughing and pointing at him.
Please tell me I wasn’t the only person who expected a Richard Hoagland quote in this article.
Looks like a Reever to me.
You should see the ones down at the beach.
Thanks for the other image. That’s the one I thought of (along with the word ‘Photoshop’ when I saw the posted picture.
take another picture of the same area and see if it has moved.
Nah.
LOL! OK, I’m sending you the bill for a new keyboard.
Well...at least now we know the cause of global warming on Mars!
Maybe those wiley little robots are thinking for themselves. It ART.
Great. Now a Starbucks will open on Mars.
