I had CNN Headline News playing in a loop. I heard about and saw the photo numerous times yesterday, and the story popped out. So, nope. Not a coincidence.

I guess this isn't the first photo about this sort of thing....I found this today. It's from 2006;

It's supposed to be a humanoid skull.

Have to admit though, the apparent outstretched arm is intruiging. .

...I looked at the full size photo...it is pretty close to the rover, and therefore would be very small....

That's all well and good except the guy who filmed it and his friend who wore the costume both fessed up. Everyone in the town they lived in knew about it virtually from the start.

Looks like a Star Wars stormtrooper helmet.

How's there going to be a humanoid-anything living on Mars? What's it going to eat?

... I remember the big fuss being about finding signs of water. Not water itself, but signs that water was ever there. Looking at the Nasa mars photos, it's hard to fathom any life without moisture. But then I'm not sure how much we know about whats underneath mars's surface.


Mars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Mars (pronounced /ˈmɑ(ɹ)z/) is the fourth planet from the Sun in the Solar System. The planet is named after Mars, the Roman god of war. It is also referred to as the "Red Planet" because of its reddish appearance as seen from Earth.

Mars is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the volcanoes, valleys, deserts and polar ice caps of Earth. It is the site of Olympus Mons, the highest known mountain in the solar system, and of Valles Marineris, the largest canyon. In addition to its geographical features, Mars’ rotational period and seasonal cycles are likewise similar to those of Earth.

Until the first flyby of Mars by Mariner 4 in 1965, it was speculated that there might be liquid water on the planet's surface. This was based on observations of periodic variations in light and dark patches, particularly in the polar latitudes, which looked like seas and continents, while long, dark striations were interpreted by some observers as irrigation channels for liquid water. These straight line features were later proven not to exist and were instead explained as optical illusions. Still, of all the planets in our solar system other than Earth, Mars is the most likely to harbor liquid water, and perhaps life. "

There's a strong possibility that life once existed on Mars with origins independent of life on Earth, however if there's any life today it'll be the equivalent to bacteria life and relatively deep within the soils possibly in the rock.
