I read the article on universitytoday.com and the link to the longer article. They go into detail on why this image couldn't possibly be a huminoid or "bigfoot" because of the way the camera on the Rover takes several pictures at delayed intervals and the image did not move. Also the "rock" is too small to be human. All the more reason to think its a statue, especially in light of the fact that there have been other objects/structures that have been photographed on Mars. Why are they not addressing the obvious. By going to these great legnths to pass off these finds as optical illisions, one has to think that secrets are being held from the public. I'm not saying that there is some sinister reason (as Richard Hoadgland believes), but for fear that the public couldn't handle it. The hysteria that followed the "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast many years ago would be enough reason to hide the truth. I think most people could handle it and want to know. I also think there are some who would freak out over any findings of intelligent life on Mars. They can't do this forever. The evidence for extra- terrestrial life keeps mounting so the truth is going to have to be told. It seems the U.S. has been more secretive about ETs than any other country. Hopefully, that may be changing. The recent multi-government conference on UFos is a step in the right direction. IP: Logged |

Nasa says that it is a 2 inch rock. What I am wondering is that, could a 2 inch rock be so detailed? And if it is a rock, where are the other rocks of the same texture?IP: Logged |

I agree! 2 inches? Wow. To think I see a Jesus-lookalike with a breast and a beard is amazing!  IP: Logged |

What are those stone bricks/ tiles at the front of the picture? And that metallic looking object, like a handle or something?  IP: Logged |

i'm with purple-scorp, i think it's a she, and she's getting a tan for her green martian man  :check out the martian weather forecast: Of all the planets, Mars's seasons are the most Earth-like, due to the similar tilts of the two planets' rotational axes. However, the lengths of the Martian seasons are about twice those of Earth's, as Mars’ greater distance from the sun leads to the Martian year being about two Earth years in length. Martian surface temperatures vary from lows of about −140 °C (-220 °F) during the polar winters to highs of up to 20 °C (68 °F) in summers. The wide range in temperatures is due to the thin atmosphere which cannot store much solar heat, the low atmospheric pressure, and the low thermal inertia of Martian soil. If Mars had an Earth-like orbit, its seasons would be similar to Earth's because its axial tilt is similar to Earth's. However, the comparatively large eccentricity of the Martian orbit has a significant effect. [...] the seasons in the southern hemisphere are more extreme and the seasons in the northern are milder than would otherwise be the case. The summer temperatures in the south can be up to 30 K (54 °F) warmer than the equivalent summer temperatures in the north. Mars also has the largest dust storms in the Solar System. These can vary from a storm over a small area, to gigantic storms that cover the entire planet. They tend to occur when Mars is closest to the Sun, and have been shown to increase the global temperature. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Mars who wants to go there this summer?
