A Chinese website is claiming to have found photographic proof of aliens on Mars. The picture, found after thoroughly analyzing photos taken by NASA’S Mars Exploration Rover Spirit, seems to show a figure walking across the Martian landscape.
According to The Daily Mail, the internet has been “abuzz” with speculation as to what this may or may not be. Cries of “Proof!”, “Shopped!”, “Optical illusion!”, and “Bigfoot!” have been heard, echoing across the tubes. A larger, 43MB panoramic version can be found here.

My favorite theory so far is that the dark blob down and to the right of the Bigfoot blob is another martian who has fallen down the cliff. Clearly the Bigfoot blob is a member of a search and rescue team.
Furthermore, I submit that the altruism and heroism of these blobs is an inspiration to blobs everywhere.

I think it looks like a Sand man from the original Star Wars movie.
The explanation is pretty simple:
Martians prefer American TV.
