Bigfoot On Mars
I wasn't able to access the full NASA picture but looks like a rock to me, what do you think?

Is it Bigfoot? A Tusken Raider from the first "Star Wars" movie? Or just a rock? British newspapers went crazy Wednesday morning about an image from Mars that appears to show a humanoid figure descending a shallow hillside. The "alien" is actually a blurry detail in a huge panoramic photograph snapped on the edge of Mars' Gusev crater by NASA's Spirit rover in early November, and posted on NASA's Web site on Jan. 2. Naturally, it took the Photoshop skills of dedicated bloggers to find the "humanoid." "NASA scientists have been puzzled by the peculiarly life-like image," declared the Times of London, despite the apparent fact that no one from NASA has had any comment. |
It does look like Bigfoot, but come on, everyone always want to 'see' something in what is just a rock or other formation. What needs to be asked is if the figure moved and then we can say we have something.

If it is that puzzling for the scientist, then just send the Rover back to the same spot and get another photo at the same time of Martian Day. If you see it again, guess what...it is a rock! Puzzle solved. Somehow though, I get the feeling that NASA is not really puzzled by this photo. To me it looks more like a Rorschach Test than Big Foot.
I like the article though...I would say there is about an equal chance of it being Big Foot or Osama Bin Laden!
Keep in mind that these things fund NASA. Why, you say? Well, so long as people have a thirst for "something out there" then you will get funding. They have a multi-million dollar robot driving around Mars taking pictures of rock and sand. Some people may be thinking that it is hardly news when we are facing a possible second depression in the US, so the solution, let's give them Bigfoot and give them something to hope for. Along with that the US tax man will continue to collect for NASAs projects.
Like we needed explanation . NASA has confirmed the figure is just a rock.

A strange alien figure on Mars? Yeah, right, says NASA. As reported Wednesday, bloggers and British newspapers have been abuzz this week over a blurry image taken by the Mars rover Spirit in November that seems to show a humanoid figure ambling down a shallow slope. "It's a two-inch piece of rock eroded by the wind," explained NASA spokesman Dwayne Brown. |
