From the San Fran Chronicle: Microbes, faces and rusted cars have all appeared as images on the surface of Mars, and now an official NASA photograph shows a bright light shining from the Martian surface.
It has - as they say - gone viral.
UFO buffs claim the light could be proof that some form of "intelligent life" is living underground and uses light "just as we do."
But scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, who have discovered evidence that ancient streams of water once flowed across the slopes of a vast Martian crater, are suggesting more prosaic explanations for the light.
A NASA spokesman said the bright spot appears in two images taken April 2 and 3 by the specialized "Navigation Camera" on the Curiosity rover, which has been exploring the planet's surface for nearly two years.
The image was picked up from NASA and posted by Scott C. Waring, who maintains a website called "UFO Sightings Daily" with the motto, "The Truth Is Within Our Grasp."
In his blog, Waring said the light seems to be shining upward from the Martian ground and appears flat at the bottom.
"This could indicate there is intelligent life below the ground and uses light as we do," Waring wrote. "This is not a glare from the sun, nor is it an artifact of the photo process." http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/NASA-photo-on-strange-light-on-Mars-has-UFO-buffs-5387337.php#photo-6135672
It's probably a Starbucks sign inviting aliens to come in a get some coffee.
