UFO Watchers Abuzz Over Mars 'Skull'

Share

(Newser) – UFO watchers are speculating online that a NASA image of a Martian landscape may show an alien skull, reports the Telegraph. "There appears to be a narrow pointed small mouth, so this creature most likely is a carnivore," noted one. An image that looked surprisingly like a skull that made the Internet rounds three years ago is now believed to be the result of tampering. A famous "Martian face" photographed in the 1970s turned out to be a trick of light.

Are these people serious? It looks like a rock that looks like an alien head to me. Reply

The other rock in the foreground appears to be the body of a crab, so this alien creature most likely was eating crab just before it died. Reply

I believe the alien theorists are so so SO limited in their viewpoints insofar as they expect alien life forms to be somewhat humanoid in appearance when there is nothing saying that even water needs to be present to support life. Here on earth maybe, but who says the galaxies have to conform to our rules? Who says an extra-terrestrial has to have limbs, a head, a torso, or even a skeleton and skull? We're pathetic in our imaginative limitations. We're a joke to the cosmos. Reply
