I've seen that picture floating around the internet. It is an interesting rock, it appears to be female. I'm not sure, but it looks like it would be under a foot in height. Tiny martians.

Good question littledreamer. I was wondering that myself as it happens. <br /><br />I just did a quick search of the NASA site, with search term "Bigfoot Mars image" and nothing comes up. I'm sure there must be a raw image somewhere, but I guess it's unlikely that NASA would label it as a "Bigfoot" picture, so I'm not surprised I can't find it..<br /><br />I suppose we need to know exactly when it was taken by Spirit (ie which SOL etc.)<br /><br />I'll keep searching though ... <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <h1 style="margin:0pt;font-size:12px">----------------------------------------------------- </h1><p><font color="#800000"><em>Lady Nancy Astor: "Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea."<br />Churchill: "Nancy, if you were my wife, I'd drink it."</em></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Website / forums </strong></font></p> </div>

What he said.<br /><br />Inches high...and very near the rover. <br /><br />See Sol 1367 images <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <strong><font color="#3366ff">Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find and not to yeild.</font> - <font color="#3366ff"><em>Tennyson</em></font></strong> </div>

Yes, looks like you may have found it Telfrow.

I'm not so sure, here's one from a day later, look at the size of that footprint.<br /><br />Picture

 

[Mee_n_Mac]

Hmmm, I'd have thought the low gravity would have lead to big ... ahhh ... bigfoots.<br /><br />Must be the low atmospheric pressure ... gets you smallfoots.<br /><br /><br />{I tried but couldn't pick out which image in the Sol1367 was the origin} <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>-----------------------------------------------------</p><p><font color="#ff0000">Ask not what your Forum Software can do do on you,</font></p><p><font color="#ff0000">Ask it to, please for the love of all that's Holy, <strong>STOP</strong> !</font></p> </div>

What did you get Charlie Brown?<br />"I got a rock" <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

 

[Smersh]

Aren't the raw images mostly b & w? It's only when people put them in Photoshop and add colours (and Bigfeet perhaps) that we get the coloured images. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <h1 style="margin:0pt;font-size:12px">----------------------------------------------------- </h1><p><font color="#800000"><em>Lady Nancy Astor: "Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea."<br />Churchill: "Nancy, if you were my wife, I'd drink it."</em></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Website / forums </strong></font></p> </div>

The image is a crop from this panorama, which gives a sense of scale. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <strong><font color="#3366ff">Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find and not to yeild.</font> - <font color="#3366ff"><em>Tennyson</em></font></strong> </div>

I guess it's really a TeenyFoot then <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

[Smersh]

Yes it could be a crop from that panorama, but also so tiny I can't locate it.<br /><br />I just froze the CNN video for comparison with that panorama, and looks to me like the rocks immediately beneath the "Bigfoot" have been digitally altered. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <h1 style="margin:0pt;font-size:12px">----------------------------------------------------- </h1><p><font color="#800000"><em>Lady Nancy Astor: "Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea."<br />Churchill: "Nancy, if you were my wife, I'd drink it."</em></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Website / forums </strong></font></p> </div>

 

[telfrow]

It's on the left hand side, about a third of the way up from the bottom, above the rock outcrops, directly in front of a channel (or rover track?). I had to download the full size panorama to find it. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <strong><font color="#3366ff">Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find and not to yeild.</font> - <font color="#3366ff"><em>Tennyson</em></font></strong> </div>

 

[Smersh]

Yes I think I see it now. Certainly could be that, but I guess it could also be any number of things in other photos. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <h1 style="margin:0pt;font-size:12px">----------------------------------------------------- </h1><p><font color="#800000"><em>Lady Nancy Astor: "Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea."<br />Churchill: "Nancy, if you were my wife, I'd drink it."</em></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Website / forums </strong></font></p> </div>

Interesting rock formation - it does look like somebody dropped a toy statue. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><em><font size="1" color="#000080">Don't let who you are keep you from becoming who you want to be!</font></em></p> </div>

 

[Mee_n_Mac]

Makes you wonder just how long somebody spent looking at the image before they "saw" the Teenyfoot. It has only a passing resemblence to the famous Bigfoot image seen everywhere, but now that the association has been made, it's hard to shake. <br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>-----------------------------------------------------</p><p><font color="#ff0000">Ask not what your Forum Software can do do on you,</font></p><p><font color="#ff0000">Ask it to, please for the love of all that's Holy, <strong>STOP</strong> !</font></p> </div>

It looks like one of those people that got caught in the Mount Vesuvius eruption in Pompeii.
