Two decades ago, the Viking Orbiter inadvertently photographed a landmark on the surface of the planet Mars that looks like a mountain-sized sculpture of some helmeted creature. Since then, no evidence has shown up to support the thesis that this thing is the irrefutable proof of there having been, at some time in the past at least, intelligent life on Mars.

Thanks to its ultra-sensitive cameras, the newly launched Mars Surveyor although still at quite a distance from the red planet, could already transmit the following intriguing images back to Earth.

Astronomers will of course be going out of their ways trying to explain the complex atmospheric mechanisms that led to the creation of these bizarre geological features. Still, there is something vaguely familiar about them...

It looks as if there IS intelligence out there after all...
