No, I’m not talking about some God-awful B-Movie from the 70’s (Remember The Legend of Boggy Creek?), I’m talking about an image taken by Spirit, one of the two still-operating Mars Rovers, that appears to show a Yeti-like creature taking a casual stroll on the surface of the Red Planet.
I’m sure that conspiracy theorists are having a field day with this. Who could forget the infamous “Face on Mars” that so many theorized was the remnant of an ancient civilization? Or how Astronomers in the late 19th and early 20th century believed there were canals on the planet that were made by none other than little green men. There’s no telling what will come of this “discovery.” I’d be willing to bet that the Moon Hoax proponents who claim that the Moon landings were fake will surface and claim that the Mars rovers never made it past Nevada. Area 51 to be exact. We’ll see…
The notion of Martians is nothing new to us Earthlings. Since those first claims of extraterrestrials on Mars surfaced well over a hundred years ago, there’s been an onslaught of books, movies, ghost stories and such that use the beings as their source material. Where would the Sci-Fi genre be if the idea of Martians never came to be?
As far as the Sasquatch on Mars goes, unless the hairy bastard learned how to build a rocket, navigate it to Mars, survive extremely cold temperature (-178 degrees Fahrenheit on a cold day) and was able to learn how to breath Carbon Dioxide, I’m going to chalk this one up to a rock formation, as odd as it may be.
Take a look:

where did he get the clothing…that’s probably Jarsh in one of his disguises. How did he get there? I thought he was in Colorado this week???

it’s a rock

Sorry, it’s not a rock. He shot a female foot and is hiding behind a rock. If you look closely you can see a little big foot female on the ground dead as a door knob. She’s at the end of the rock the big big foot is hiding behind. She probably was messing around with another big foot and got what she deserved. I think I am scrapping the whole program. Who needs a bunch of out of control big feet on the planet and there are probably a bunch of tiny feet running around naked waiting for us to land and they will mate with us and we will have a bunch of intelligent feet to deal with. No future in that. I’m pulling the plug!!!! TODAY!! Goodbye Mars.

Damned evil Marsquatch. I’m with you Ben, who wants to visit a planet full of asshole Yetis? Not this guy.
Jawikst, think about it. It’s totally a monster and you know it.

I’m not saying I wouldn’t mate with them (male or female…i really can’t tell the difference in yetis) for the good of the solar system. But that seems like an awfully long trip to help a planet that, quite frankly, doesn’t look that fun. I mean come on, -178 degrees and no snow/ski slopes??? Maybe they should open some big food casinos to promote tourism. Until then, I agree…Mission to Mars CANCELLED!!!
Jawikst, I don’t know what your agenda is…but how can you possibly say that’s not a sasquatch?
