ZOMG! Small Humanoid Found on Mars!

We will we meet our new overlords?? :)

incredibly interesting, thanks!

That's either Bigfoot or a statue of King Conan on his throne.

I agree with Atomicsecrets... it looks like someone cut and pastes a frame from that famous bigfoot film onto a martian landscape. That's the first thing I though: that this was just a goof.

i concur...the first thing i saw was that famous bigfoot image

That's pretty creepy, but it looks to be about the size of a GI Joe if it's supposed to be a statue. Perhaps Martians are just really, really tiny and that's why we never notice evidence of their civilization!

It even appears on the "raw" photograph they use to stitch together the panoramas (see: http://marsrovers.nasa.gov/gallery/all/2/p/1367/2P247720343EFFAWCCP2415L7M1.JPG ), so there's really no telling what the story behind it is. From the raw photo, though, I'm thinking it's a shadow, perhaps?

The famous face was only made possible by very specific lighting conditions, I'd like to see a photo of the same place at a different time.

Since we humans look for patterns around us (clouds, rocks, mountains, plants etc.)I have to say that has to tbe oddest looking rock that just screams of a human form. Damn you NASA and your conspiracies! :p

I agree with #3. It's Bigfoot.

A really tiny, Martian Bigfoot. (also possibly a ninja and almost assuredly a zombie!)

:D

HA!

I have to go with Bigfoot as well. It's pretty obvious, folks.

The Bad Astronomer had something to say about this one. http://www.badastronomy.com/bablog/2008/01/21/speaking-of-dumb-mars-claims/

someone call kirk and spock!

The statue theory is a good fit. It could be overlooking the dry river bed behind it.

I wonder if its a martian female waiting for her boy and NASA made us miss the alien sex pics....and I am sure they are hot....

It's the mosnter from Fire Maidens From Space!!!

Keep curcluating the tapes!!!

That could be Jesus on that thar planet.
