More than a decade ago, a bizarre six-inch skeleton was discovered in Chile’s Atacama Desert, spurring claims that extraterrestrial visitors had crash-landed on Earth. Now, alien investigators of the internet have spotted what they say could be a living member of the same species.
Just feet away from NASA’s Curiosity rover, YouTube user Paranormal Crucible claims a tiny humanoid alien can be seen spying from behind a Martian rock. The original image was captured by the Curiosity rover’s Mastcam, revealing the rocky landscape of the red planet. But at the bottom-center of the photo, Paranormal Crucible claims to have found something strange.
“Interesting anomaly found by the rover, which looks like a little Martian,” the YouTuber wrote. I have colourised the image and added eyes to the head so it’s easier to see, but everything is there in the original images, whatever it is it looks humanoid, reminds me of the Atacama Alien, about the same size too, this one is around 6 inches. Commentators have speculated that the small figure is likely a Martian woman, based on the shape of its ‘body.’
On UFO Sightings Daily Editor Scott C Waring added to the claims, writing that the figure in the photo is of a Martian species that is alive, but dwindling. This human-like figure is peering around the corner of a rock wall and I can make out its head, chest, shoulders, arm, leg, knee, and foot from this one close up photo, Waring writes.
“Paranormal Crucible says it’s about 6 inches… I agree. This is one of the species that once lived on Marsand is still living there now, but in lower numbers. The mysteries of Mars just keep revealing themselves one by one. Due to the estimated size, it could be the same species as the Atacama alien.”
In 2013, however, it was revealed that DNA tests on the tiny skeleton confirmed that the bizarre specimen found in Chile was not an alien, but a human with an “interesting mutation”.
