NASA Photo Shows Humanoid Figure on Mars
Wednesday, January 23, 2008

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.

The skeptical Web site BadAstronomy.com, however, scoffed, "Puhlllleeeeze. A man? It's a tiny rock only a few inches high. It's only a few feet from the rover!"

Other British papers saw the humo(u)r in the story, with the Sun theorizing that it was Detective Gene Hunt, the drunken, sexist policeman from the BBC time-traveling crime series "Life on Mars."

"It's Usama bin Laden!" declared one Times of London commenter. "All this time we thought he was in Pakistan."

Click here for the full NASA image. If that doesn't work, try this (http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/207495main_Spirit.jpg). The figure is near the bottom left corner.

we didn't land on the moon, so obviously we haven't landed any craft on Mars.


it's a trap!

Is that a 6 iron he's carrying?

[BigRedJed]

No, he's just happy to see you.

[Mjcpr]

Hmm. Then it isn't who I thought it was.

Well, it still might be. He sends me man-love spek all the time.

[Mjcpr]

It would have to be a really powerful camera then.

[BigRedJed]

If it is, he's crazy. He needs to lay up with a wedge.

If it is, he's crazy. He needs to lay up with a wedge.

Maybe if he had your game.

An infinite number of monkeys taking photos on an infinite number of cameras can capture big foot playing tennis on Venus.

But on Mars, 10 monkeys, 1 camera. :D
