In this NASA Phoenix photo, we see a Martian apparently waving at the lander. (See Phoenix photo, top right, just below horizon.) http://fawkes4.lpl.arizona.edu/images.php?gID=440

Okay, here is one of the first NASA images of the Martian surface taken by the Phoenix lander:
http://jpl.nasa.gov/news/phoenix/images-all.php?fileID=8939

Now, download the high resolution picture (link at bottom left). View it in picture software that allows for enlarging. Go to the first significant rock in the bottom right hand corner (the one with the shadow). Now enlarge it. What do you see??? Recognize the face? Strange...

I'll provide links to the pics later...
