Martian

Have you seen this picture taken of someone who appears to be walking down a hill on Mars? This photo is from Fox News.

I did see that somewhere before, but I can't remember where.

Sorry, Bob - this one's much ado about almost nothing. Bad Astronomy Blog has a post up about it (although it's been Farked, so the server may be down), but the object in the image is actually a very small rock. An interestingly-shaped rock, to be sure, but like the infamous face on the surface, it's truly just a natural formation. The actual picture is here (zoom in and scroll over to the far left corner), and the image is startling. It pops right out at you, and even knowing it's a rock formation, the brain insists it must be a human figure. Weird :)

julie,
What would I do without you?

Even aliens on Mars are out of focus. :^)

And alien-shaped rocks, apparently.
