UFO enthusiasts have gone wild as NASA's Mars Curiosity Rover captured a series of surreal snaps this week, which hint that there may still be life on Mars.
Or at least a single, lonely kestrel.
Also, other Martians (not pictured) seem to enjoy some of the home comforts of Earth, and some of the annoyances - with Curiosity seemingly having pictured a football and a traffic light.
Mars is thought to have once had water, and a climate more similar to Earth. No one has any idea what the new findings might mean.
Martian kestrel attack
The kestrel is pictured in the centre of this photograph. You might think it's just a dot, but UFO fans know better (Picture: NASA)Nonetheless, UFO enthusiast site UFO-Blogger said of the kestrel-like bird pictured hovering above Mars's surface, 'This is an actual object in 3 dimensions out there in the background. Look at the shading around its edges.
'The shading gets lighter at the edges indicating this is a real object out there with sun light reflecting more on its top than on its bottom.'
Or it could just be a dot. Scientists have yet to clarify the origin of this new mystery of the Red Planet.
Red, Green and Yellow planet
The traffic lights on Mars (top right). It's unclear whether Martian traffic regulations are legally binding for vehicles from Earth (Picture: NASA/SWNS)Thankfully, Curiosity has not encountered any traffic so far on Mars, but this traffic light appears to be conclusive proof that it was once there. Either that, or it's an oddly shaped stone.
Keen-eyed Joe Smith, 45, noticed the set of traffic lights. Joe, a space video journalist, from Bristol, said: 'I have been following the images from Nasa since the start and I flick through them on the Nasa website every day.'
As yet, Science has yet to speak out on whether this is the fossilised remnant of an Earth-like traffic system on Mars, or just a rock.
Martians United?
From the appearance of this spherical stone, it appears Martians play proper football, not the American kind. Or possibly even cricket (Picture: NASA)At first sight, this rock seems to be proof that Martians enjoy the beautiful game (and it's spherical, hinting that they like proper, British football, not the American kind), and offering the possibility that we may one day invite teams from Mars to the World Cup.
Spoilsport scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory claim that the ball is much too small for a conventional game of football, being just 1cm wide. This may, of course, indicate that Martians are just very small.
