Crikey! There's a little green man on Mars
Last updated at 13:18pm on 22.01.08Does this photograph really prove that we are not alone in the universe?
Man on Mars: The image appears to show a man walking down a hill
Images beamed back from Mars would suggest so - although to sceptics, it could just be an odd-shaped rock. Nasa's Mars Explorer Spirit sent back images from the surface of the Red Planet four years ago, and there was initial disappointment among scientists that they lacked any signs of life.
But space and science fiction enthusiasts were convinced there was more than meets the eye, and after years of studying the images, have found what appears to be an alien figure walking downhill.
The pictures, found on a Chinese website, are now creating a stir of excitement on the internet.

we cannot state what is it without getting a clear photo or going near to it. It appears to be a bipedestrian or human.
Hope NASA guys will get a high resolution picture for figuring it out. By the time we can say it is tom's father or jacks sister etc...

It is a female, looking at these gorgeous curves.
She is on her way to fetch water.

Definitely a strange looking rock. Very strange. On the other hand the image could be a fake. Photoshop can work wonders.

Found on a Chinese website? Another case of Made in China or it could be Gordon Brown on walkabout.

God created the Earth and the planets and stars in the universe so it is not inconceivable that there is life out there, which this picture could prove.

Gordon will go anywhere, when there is bad news...and he might be blamed.

Looks like the 'bigfoot' captured on film at Bluff Creek in the 50's!
Still, if you look at enough rocks for long enough I'm sure you'll finally find one which 'fits' your requirements.
