Bigfoot Lives on Mars

Well last week there were UFO's flying around Texas, yesterday there were UFT's floating around Ryan Severn, and today CNN's Anderson Cooper revealed an official NASA image taken by the Spirit rover in 2004 that appears to show Sasquatch wandering around on the red planet. Or, it could be a rock. But where's the news in that?

This would certainly explain why Bigfoot is so hard to find on earth. He moved. He's probably a bit of a loner, akin to Shrek, Prometheus, and Frankenstein's monster. He might not have appreciated all those distant camera flashes. Maybe he's happier on Mars. Dr. Manhattan seemed to like it well enough.

It would also explain who built that Martian pyramid and drew that smiley face in Galle Crater (not THAT face). Quatchi must be quite the artiste.

My childish hopes are that what we're really seeing is evidence of an ancient culture in the form of a sculpture. The weird thing is, I outlined a sequel to one of my novels (Paradigm Found) last year called Elysium Lost, in which the ruins of a statue are found on Mars, leading the main characters on a journey to uncover a lost civilization who may or may not still be clinging to life somewhere within the polar ice caps where water still exists.

Whatever that blurry rock is (99.999999% sure it's just a blurry rock), I'm mad at the Spirit rover for not being more curious. What happened to putting people on Mars anyway? The plan now is to go back to the Moon in 2020. So let's get this straight: the last time we landed on the Moon was 1972. In the 36 years since then, we haven't gone anywhere, and 12 years from now, we'll have the technology to go...back? I still say hire Bill Nye.
