May 5 2009We Are Not Alone: Alien Skull Spotted On Mars
That's right folks, we now have 100% conclusive evidence there are, in fact, dead aliens on Mars. Or rocks, possibly just rocks.
Internet forums are full of chatter about the picture, taken by a panoramic NASA camera known as Spirit.
One alien-spotter speculated: "The skull is 15 cm with binocular eyes 5 cm apart. The cranial capacity is approximately 1400 cc."There appears to be a narrow pointed small mouth, so this creature most likely is a carnivore."
Another joked: "The coronal ridge shows ample structure to support the musculature of antennae, although none are visible in this view.
Joke now, but it's all fun and games until you wake up with an antennae in your you-know-what. And by 'you-know-what' I mean your girlfriend -- she's gonna cheat on you with an alien. Hey, don't cry, film it.

Thanks to Chuck Nunchuck and Julian, whose relationships with Martian lovers have all ended the same: with them getting the shaft. The cold, metal shaft.

I bet that the same people who saw this "alien skull" are the same people who see jesus on toast or shapes of things in fluffy clouds....
7. Moose Knuckle - May 5, 2009 2:47 PM
I'd be more worried about what did that to the alien
8. STOMPY - May 5, 2009 2:49 PM
i concur with moose knuckle, methinks the martian zombies had powerful weapons
9. Watch-303 - May 5, 2009 2:50 PM

I think people from the moon carved this out of rock and placed it in our path so that we could find it while we were looking around on this planet so they could laugh at us because we thought we found proof of them but we didnt we just found a rock but we really did find proof of them because someone had to carve it in the shape of a skull so the jokes on them.

Here's a rendering of what the alien may have looked like:

Because a Martian would TOTALLY have eyes and a humanoid skull. Because those aren't the evolutionary products of highly specific conditions on earth or anything.

Those are balls.
17. Tennist0 - May 5, 2009 3:08 PM
honestly, that looks like shit before a skull
18. a retard - May 5, 2009 3:13 PM
I agree with my fellow nerdlings, that is most defiantly some nasa photo shop or nasa had the ranger do some creative art and made that rock skull
19. Fadm Notbob - May 5, 2009 3:15 PM
Vaguely reminds me of the chimera skulls from the Resistance games.
@10 if you thought you were first, 20 minutes after the first guy posted..... you need a better internet connection, or ISP.

just a rock, but rocks from mars are important
21. Timbo - May 5, 2009 3:20 PM
Looks like a turtle head...
Space turtles!!!

Proof at last that you exist, Martians! Now give us back the Mars probe you stole a bunch of years ago! Or we'll get all Manhunter on you!
24. Suwat - May 5, 2009 3:28 PM
o noez rock aliens are coming to invade the earth! I think I spotted one at my workplace: chicago web design

@21
A SPACE turtle playing a cowbell while wearing a viking helmet and Peekaru on top of another, larger turtle having the butt secks with a bacon cheese roll to the beat of The Atlanta Rhythm Section's classic hit "Spooky".
And I'm spent!
26. Timbo - May 5, 2009 3:34 PM
Gordon...that doesn't make any sense, BUT you said Bacon...so it's all good.
Mmmmmmm Space bacon....

this reminds me of a rock. also, slow news days. oh look, a water skiing squirrel. cute. and there's a dog on a skateboard. precious.
29. naas - May 5, 2009 3:51 PM
damn shum, I forgot about that one.
Someone left a skull on the moon and a space turtle playing a cowbell while wearing a viking helmet and Peekaru on top of another, larger turtle having the butt secks with 2 bacon cheese rolls to the beat of The Atlanta Rhythm Section's classic hit "Spooky" with the BBC curious as to who's going to go and get them
30. Chuck Nunchuck - May 5, 2009 3:54 PM
I WANT TO BELIEVE!
31. Tom - May 5, 2009 4:15 PM
Okay, unless they collect it, bring it down and announce (while showing it) that it is indeed a skull then I'll become a believer again. Actually it would probably make more sense to think that, no matter the outcome to this, they (the guvment) will tell us it is only a rock. Ready your tinfoil hats!
32. Ozma - May 5, 2009 4:26 PM
ITS A TRAP!!
33. Daisy - May 5, 2009 4:35 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie NEver Back Down where Max found a movie of an alien autopsy in a tape he rented, and he was mad because he didn't get to see the end of fried green tomatoes. However he did get to see the US govt cut apart an alien at area 51 deep inside the bowels of studio 54, and after watching their work he thought uits not too much different from what BAja's dad does with hookers.
34. Galtacticus - May 5, 2009 5:26 PM
Yes,it's obviously the grandfather of E.T.
35. The Observer - May 5, 2009 5:48 PM
I'm probably the most open minded person in the world when it comes to the paranormal. I'm almost never willing to blindly deny or accept any evidence or lack thereof that proves or disproves the existence or non-existence of any phenomena.
Except this time.
That's a freakin' rock. There is no way that it could possibly be anything but a rock.
36. Quik - May 5, 2009 5:48 PM
So apparently he had no other bones. Martians are just floating heads that just fall to the ground when they die. Either that or there are martian dogs that come around and carry away the rest of the remains.
37. Nerf Ninja - May 5, 2009 6:22 PM
Martian robots got 'em.
38. Emkay - May 5, 2009 6:30 PM
Not to mention that the "skull" is placed carefully on the ground with no other remains around it.
I blame Miley Cyrus.
39. brute-o - May 5, 2009 6:42 PM
MUST SEE >>

40. Milkman - May 5, 2009 7:23 PM
there are impact holes/craters in the rock everywhere. if it weren't for the 2 which appear to be eyesockets it would look like a normal rock.
41. Genghis Khunt - May 5, 2009 9:15 PM
Whatever. There are at least 15 of those alien skulls in my cat's litter box at this very moment.
42. Litodus - May 5, 2009 10:29 PM
It looks like a Hamster!
43. _me - May 6, 2009 12:54 AM
That is actually Jason's Hockey mask, not an alien skull. They accidentally left it there after shooting the last installment of the Friday the 13th series (tentatively called Mars:Sundown)
44. Xeta - May 6, 2009 1:49 AM
What? Who would believe this nonsense?
Doesn't look anything like any sort of skull...
45. eatbean - May 6, 2009 3:21 AM
i am captain cocaine, and i rescue you in the name of.\.................................. fuk it i need more, you go and die!
46. ron - May 6, 2009 9:08 AM
i have questin for all believers
how do we know that the alien looks like the alien we know
is it from the movie? we based our knowledge of alien looks under which fact??
there's no significant proof of alien existence ever in a history of man kind
if there is please tell me..

thats no alien, however the guy sitting beside me might be, he keeps do...oh crap hes lookin
update: hes not an alien hes just gay, i get mixed up with all the anal probes
49. Alioth - May 6, 2009 1:25 PM
I wish it was an alien skull, for sure! But it's not. Asimov said that aliens do exist in our galaxy, even lots of them, but they have the same problem we do. It's too far to visit.
50. Aids - May 6, 2009 5:22 PM
Theres my alien skull that i lost

51. EmoHug - May 15, 2009 11:21 PM
I want to believe that we are not the only beings in the universe. But, you know it kinda looks like a naked cat with a big mouth.
But I'll be honest. I looks fake. I found a rock that look like a pig head. So does that mean Aliens have already entered earth? No.

Hey I missed this the first time around. You're one of the funniest fukers, GW.
