The rock which alien hunters think could be a petrified child
The latest crazy claim to emerge from UFO hunters spending hours sifting through NASA images beamed back from Mars is that they have found the stone-entombed corpse of a young child laying among rocks on the Martian surface.
It has led to claims that there may have once been intelligent life on Mars that may have been wiped out by a mega volcano.
Fore years conspiracists have claimed that there was once life but it was devastated by an intergalactic nuclear war.
Now some are saying there could have been a Pompeii-like volcano which robbed the planet of its atmosphere, ending life.
Of course, NASA last year revealed the true reason why Mars slowly lists its atmosphere in the early stages of the solar system as powerful solar winds gradually stripped it away.
But that has not deterred the alien hunters from looking for other explanations.
The discovery was made by Jason Hunter, who regularly posts such stuff to YouTube.
Sceptics insist it is just a rock
It could be a statue, or it could be a petrified person.
Scott C Waring, editor of UFO Sightings Daily, was convinced the object was proof of former life.
He blogged: "It could be a statue, or it could be a petrified person."
NASSA last year revealed evidence of super volcanoes bigger than the Yellowstone Caldera on Mars.
One viewer of a short video outlining the discovery questioned if it meant beings on Mars could have been wiped out by a volcano.
But sceptics added: "it could just as easily be a rock."
The "baby" is the latest in a string of so-called discoveries found in NASA images of Mars over the past year.
These have included, trilobite fossils, crabs, lobsters, mice, and even a bear.
While alien hunters are convinced these strange shapes in the rock and and are evidence of life or former life on Mars, NASA and other scientists say they are just cases of pareidolia, whereby the brain tricks the eyes into seeing familiar objects or shapes in textures or patterns.
The UFO buffs are having none of it though and continue to seek out new finds.
