On April 5, 1998, the Mars GlobalSurveyor took photographs of the same region in far higher resolution than waspossible in 1976. This is exactly how the " Face onMars" was eventually disproven. If it is, it's a rock (unless,of course, little Martian men can hold the same pose for weeks or months at atime). In later photographs of the area,either the same shape will be there or it won?t. In fact, it will actually be pretty easy to determinewhether or not the image is of alien life. A few millionyears of Martian winds sculpted it into an odd shape, which happens to looklike, well, a Bigfoot! It's just our natural tendency to see familiar shapes inrandom objects."Įven though logic and science suggest that the image is of arock and not an animal, UFO buffsand conspiracy theorists will continue to speculate. "The rock on Mars isactually just a few inches high and a few yards from the camera. A man named Richard Hoaglandclaimed that 1976 photographs of the Cydonia region of Mars showed a human-likeface and was clear evidence of aliens.Īccording to astronomer Phil Plait of the Bad Astronomy Website, if the image really is of a man on Mars, he's awfully small: "Talkabout a tempest in a teacup!" Plait said. This is of course not the first time that NASA images havebeen claimed to show evidence of Martian life. ![]()
