Life on Mars? WTF!

A Chinese website has reportedly posted the first sighting of Martian life in the form of a mysterious figure caught on camera by the Spirit rover:

According to the Mail on Sunday, the sighting came after alien hunters spent "years" scouring NASA images for evidence of little green men before unearthing this example.

 

In fact, the Red Planet's first confirmed inhabitant features in this panorama snapped by Spirit back in November last year. We've marked the approximate position of the extraterrestrial with an arrow:

And before you all going running off to the NASA website to get the highest-res snap possible, here's our Martian as seen in the biggest file we could find - the 133 meg tiff.

 

Well, the jury's out on this one. NASA has the above false colour panorama available here, or you might try the slightly less colourful version here, or stereo representation here. Happy hunting.

This is pretty insane. Now I believe that this could be anything. We probably perceive at as some woman sitting down on some rock, only because were only accustomed to seeing humans. However, this could be a weird rock formation too. Although, I do find it odd that it's green, as opposed to the rest of the terrain. :P

It's an outcropping of rock.

Yeah, that could be the case. However, I've never seen a rock formation that almost looks like an "arm" is part of it, and is actually free from the rock, and not broken off. Unless of course you're talking about Egyptian or Greek sculptures, which I doubt any of them managed to land on Mars. :P
