Man on Mars Photo Finds Interesting Creature/Statue

Supposed Evidence of Life on the Red Planet

The title seems a bit like something out of a movie or science fiction novel, but a photo circulating around has brought life on the Red Planet to the forefront of the public's attention. In this photo from Mars, a small creature, or possibly a rock-like obtrusion, appears to be standing or maybe even walking on a rocky dune. The picture shows remarkable clarity for the overall distance that the photo was taken from, yet absolute evidence still remains to be found.

In the photo taken by the Spirit Rover Camera on Sol 1367, the object appears to have a well-defined head, torso, and arm, along with the necessary anatomical structures that would allow for actions such as bending, sitting, or walking. However, the bottom of the object appears to blend into the rock underneath in a way that is just a little too well for the object to be human. While the object has almost an entire "body", it is strangely fused around the knee area with the rock below it. This anomaly in the object's body leads to the assumption that maybe it is a statue or some sort of figurine.

Instances of life on Mars are certainly not anything that is just arising because of this specific case. Another supposed extraterrestrial spotting comes from a photo taken by the Sol 513 Rover which can be seen at this ink, Report #102. In this photo, a supposed humanoid skull can be seen lying amongst a field of rocks. While this photo definitely has a strong resemblance to the shape and definition of a human skull, it also seems to morph together with the rocks directly around it. The similarities between the creature-like object and this supposed skull both appear to look like various parts of a human, yet they both are strangely fused with the environment around them.
