Man seen on mars photo sets people’s imagination alight

A few days ago my friend Daniel wrote about the Man on Mars image, well it seems as if this has sparked people’s imagination alight as everyone seems to have a view on this. It is so funny when you read through what people have been saying on the net about this.

I for one have a very open view on life out there, but I have to say that the Man on Mars image is not an alien of any sort. Many people have said that it is in fact a deformed rock and I would have to agree.

However some do believe that it is a shadow of when the picture was taken, however people do start to go stupid and say that it could be Bigfoot. The thing is if it was an alien where is it getting its food and drink source from.

    Well, perhaps it doesn’t require any nourishment of that sort.

    In all seriousness though, its most likely an opticle illusion.

    Well, if it were real, why would you assume it would need to drink water or liquids? after all it is an alien life form and could probably drink another source of nursiment, perhaps sand, Or perhaps there is a source of underground water on mars (since scientist do believe that there once was water on the red planet)

    Hi, Let me first say that I find it very interesting to think that there would be life on mars but if you take a good close look at the picture where it seems to be a right arm raised and then follow the rock formation away and slightly upward toward the right from the let’s say the raised hand you can see the edge of the entire rocks formation. What it actually looks like is the corrosion of a rock that was hallowed out by either wind or some other weather pattern. If you look to the left you can see similar rock formations that are not as pronounces to represent an understandable image. All you need to do is follow and focus on the outside rock formation without focusing on the darker shaded portion and you can clearly see the rock by which this intriguing image is presented. Hense we has a bonafide outstanding optical allusion produced by rock and shade that presents itself as a human or otherwise recognizable object. I honestly am disapointed because I hoped that it was otherwise.

    OK heres my opinion, I would say that it is not a rock because of alot of reasons. First that specific “ROCK” you guys call is alot darker then the others around it. And none of the other rocks have multi colors like the top one.It has a little red,tan, and black on it. I would have to agree with all the other people that it is not a rock it is some kind of life on mars!

    Would You Not have thoughtt tjat the people taking this picture – would have ventued closer to see if it moved or anything –
    i think it was something to do with something obstructing the view of the camera although there is a sightly red tint to the ‘Head’ xx

    well i think it looks like a photo

  • Raina

    i think it is an alien because i do believe in that sort of stuff. But then i sort of think it looks like a man walking and he could of been turned to stone so if you say it is a rock or stone it could be.

  • hairgod

    Hey what if it is a sculpture that an ancient civilation left behind just like on earth when man is gone there will be artifacts left behind for thousands of years seems like it deserves a closer look!

  • Becki Johnson

    Isn’t that Bigfoot? LOL

    It’s not an alien or a rock. It’s the astrological sign for Aquarius.

    I can’t really Say what it is that’s on that picture but it sure looks Humanoid but once again it can be part of the rock. Among Picture enhancements that I made shows that what ever it is, it’s not that rock. Rather it’s away and lower to the rock. I used a multi shader on the pic and what I get it’s an object that is different from the sand and rocks on that picture. the object just stick out like a sore thumb. Does it mean that it is an alien life form? I Don’t know. it could be another piece of rock that just cast a darker shadow on it’s self and all the other rocks there. Your guess it’s as good as mine. I would like to think that it is a real life form. I belive in other life in space but I just can’t jump on the first thing I think it is. I have to see it from both points of view. As far as The comment that Where does it get it food source or drinks water. Let me just say that ppl seem to think that the rules that bound earth applies to all in the universe. People just have no idea or no understanding of what goes on the our vast universe. If you only knew.

  • Neighboring Alien

    It looks like he’s reading the Tattered Clad novel.

  • Nick Miller

    ACTUALLY- It is a martian man. If you look carefully at the other dark images in the picture you can see that he is descending the hill to get the alien rabbit he killed for supper, but little does he know that the alien snake is waiting just behind the big rock…

    What will happen next is anybody’s guess because unfortunately there was no later picture.

    IT could possibly have adapted to not use certain things that we need. Keep in mind that it may not be the same species that we are and so it may need other things to use as food and water. And if you have done your research, there is water that has been frozen, therefor there could be water that they know of but we don’t.

    look how cool it looks from close up. It’s a woman kneeling by a stream with a stick or something and she’s throwing it or whatever to Alien number 2 lying on the sand (from first vid).. You can see her facial features ears eyes nose mouth and real HAIR ! WOW ! Luv John Australia

  • John

    Stop second vid at 3.04 and 3.11 and look carefuly at her. Thats not a man!

    it is not true, that it is man on mars.If they show another image which is taken after few steps of this image. Then it can be reconsider that it is a man. The thing is why they did not take another image of same man when he walked few steps more? think about it.

  • jeff

    They couldn’t have gone closer because a rover took the picture not a human
