Just Noticing: “Observations of a blogger”
Posted by Michelle Moquin on June 9th, 2013
Good morning!
Just noticing…
…Is that a rat on Mars?
Mike, TM: Not sure if the life on Mars you’re speaking of is the “rat?” looking creature that was discovered recently on Mars. :) Or perhaps some other life form, more likely. But this did come across my plate about a week ago. I figured since you brought up Mars, it would be fun to post it today. I HOPE all is good with you.
From the Huff Po: Please click on the title to watch the video.
Mars Rat? Blogger Spots ‘Creature’ In NASA Curiosity Rover Image (PHOTO)
Is that a rat… on Mars?!
Yes, according to a theory from one determined man in Japan who recently scoured dozens of NASA photos taken by the space agency’s Mars Curiosity rover. A post onUFO Sightings Daily shows the “Mars rat,” which appears to be a creature with legs and a tail among rocks on the planet.
(SCROLL FOR PHOTOS)
As the blog notes, the figure “seems to resemble a rodent but also may be a lizard.”
The alleged Mars rat should not be confused with a similar sighting first pointed out in December: An image taken by the Curiosity rover at the “Rocknest” site in September shows a rodent-like figure that most closely resembles a squirrel. However, as UFO Sightings Daily notes, that observation may have been staged by NASA as part of an experiment.
While this most recent rodent sighting may be yet another NASA test (or the result of a few perfectly placed rocks), it’s most likely not a living creature. After all, this is something NASA would make an announcement about, right?
Earlier this year, the agency revealed that the Curiosity rover uncovered signs that life may have once existed on Mars. NASA scientists cited a rock sample the rover analyzed in February that contained elements necessary for supporting life.
“We have characterized a very ancient, but strangely new ‘gray Mars’ where conditions once were favorable for life,” John Grotzinger, Mars Science Laboratory project scientist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif., said in a statement at the time. “Curiosity is on a mission of discovery and exploration, and as a team we feel there are many more exciting discoveries ahead of us in the months and years to come.”
Check out the original NASA photo and the UFO Sightings Daily version that points to the “Mars rat” below, and let us know what you think.
