Life on Mars Explained

Mystery of man on Mars is apparently solved.

Based on analysis of the stereo imagery, the best explanation is that the feature was indeed sculpted - not by a Martian hand, but by the Martian wind.

Some folks make a habit of looking for strange features in the pictures that have come from the Mars rovers over the past four years - features like "bunny ears" (bits of fabric left behind by the rovers), or the "Martian footprint" (the imprint of a wheel tread), or "rover rotini" (a mysterious curlicue that might be a mark left behind by a drill).

To begin with, on the zoomed out version of the photo, our Mars man is shown in the red circle.


Now, in the stereo image below, our man is shown as a dark speck in the upper left portion of the photo. We can see rocks of many shapes in the same color around our (imaginary) man.

NASA Photo Show Man on Mars

Again, news with some entertainment value!

Man on Mars?

Images beamed back from Mars (see one above) would suggest that there is alien life on the red planet, although many skeptics are saying it is “just an odd-shaped rock”.

The longer you look at the photo the more it looks like a real person/alien, these images were sent back four years ago from NASA’s Mars Explorer Spirit.

It is only now after studying the images for some time that they have found what appears to be an alien figure walking downhill…what do you make of it?

May be the guy below finally decided to wake up:-)

I don't buy this kind of stuff, but it's fun to read!
