'Alien skull' spotted on Mars

It's no place to raise your kids.

Most residents of mars are very shy, but this one is a little boulder.

I recently watched a Doctor Quatermass program and it had real footage of Martians on Mars. They looked a bit like giant locusts, and nothing like the ones in War Of The Worlds.

OOOh was it the Quatermass and the pit one where they dig out a spaceship from the underground and odd things happen in Hobb Lane and at the end there's a giant flamey devil?

An excellent program - it gave me nightmares for decades

It's a hoax, obviously made from papier mache.

Cheers,

I was wondering where I'd left that.

I'd forget my alien lizard head if it wasn't screwed on.

If it was green I for one would be convinced

Ummm... the only "skull" with the nasal bone attached. It's an effing rock like any other effing rock.

If you look closely at its lips, you can just make out that he was saying "dig me out, I'm sitting on a horse".

Look how big the ear hole is - Consistent with the fact that you'd need pretty sharp hearing in Mars's atmosphere, as it's only 1% the density of Earth's so sound doesn't travel too well there.

(not that this is anything other than a lump of rock[*], unless there's a headless statue just out of shot)

[*] or an alien bowling ball, with two tentacle holes

Why is credence given to this tulip? Its clearly a rock and not an alien 'skull.'

[Pogle]

Ooooer and the Ice Warriers came from Mars too -- spooky

Although to the untrained (ie Pogles) eye, it looks like a lump of rock.
Is it a slow news week?
First mass hysteria over a bit of a cold and then this?

Suppose it does look a little bit like the Ice Warriors from Dr Who.
